BIS Certification for
Gas, Oil and Solid-Fuel Burning Appliances Having Electrical Connections
IS 302 Part 1:2024, which follows IEC 60335-1
BIS Certification for Gas, Oil, and Solid-Fuel-Burning Appliances with Electrical Connections is a major requirement for manufacturers and importers who wish to supply these products in the Indian market, with electrical safety requirements in mind. According to IS 302 Part 1:2024, which follows IEC 60335-1, safety testing is carried out for electrical safety needs, including electric shock protection, insulation, earthing, heating, moisture protection, abnormal operation, etc.
Gas, oil, and solid-fuel burning appliances with electrical connections are commonly used in residential, commercial, hospitality, and industrial areas. The primary function is combustion, with electrical components such as ignition systems, control panels, thermostats, and safety cut-offs. Because they use both fuel and electricity, ensuring product safety is important to protect users from electrical hazards, fire risks, and overheating. Obtaining BIS certification helps manufacturers meet regulatory obligations, improve product credibility, reduce safety risks, and support smooth entry into the Indian market.
BIS Testing Parameters Under IS 302 (Part 1):2024?
The Gas, Oil, and Solid-Fuel-Burning Appliances with Electrical Connections operate in extreme environments. Thus, testing is conducted under IS 302 (Part 1): 2024 (harmonised with IEC 60335-1:2020). The major testing parameters include:
- Hazardous Environments Test: Testing how the electrical wires, switches, and insulation stand up against combustion gases, fuel vapours, and high operating temperatures.
- Electric Shock Protection Test: Testing accessible live parts to provide protection against electric shock to the user when using, refuelling, or cleaning.
- Heating (Thermal) Test: Testing the increase in temperature of electrical equipment such as ignition modules, solenoids, and motors for any potential risks of fires.
- Abnormal Operation Tests: Testing the effect of abnormal operation such as blocking of gas vent or failure of fan motor that could pose a risk to fire or electric shock hazard.
- Heat and Fire Resistant Test: Testing of non-metallic electrical parts using glow-wire and needle flame to ensure they are fire-resistant.
- Water-Resistance Test: Ensuring that the enclosure of the electrical equipment will protect the circuitry against water, leaks or spillages of fuels or oils.
- Creepage Distance and Clearance Test: Making sure the distances between electrical parts are large enough to avoid electrical arcing in hazardous environments.
