IS 302 Part 1: 2024/IEC 60335-1
BIS Certification for Handheld engraving tools as per IS 302 (Part 1): 2024/IEC 60335-1:2020 before marketing these products in the Indian market. IS 302 (Part 1): 2024 is aligned with IEC 60335-1, which sets out the general safety requirements for household and similar electrical appliances (Quality Control) Order. Adhering to these requirements will enable manufacturers to have a BIS licence and use the ISI mark. It shows that the product satisfies Indian safety and regulatory requirements.
Handheld engraving tools find their application in various industries like jewellery making, metal working, wood working, glass engraving, craft works, and industry marking purposes. As these devices run on electricity and are often handled directly, there is a need for safety compliance to avoid the risks of electric shock, overheating, mechanical injury, and fire. To increase product safety and protect consumers, the Government of India has introduced Handheld Electric Engraving Tools. Thus, manufacturers and importers must get BIS Certification as per IS 302 (Part 1): 2024/IEC 60335-1:2020 before marketing these products in the Indian market.
What Tests Are Required for BIS Certification?
The IS 302 standard defines the safety measures required to prevent hazards like electric shock, fire, overheating, insulation failures, and mechanical injury for Handheld Engraving Tools:
Checking of Markings and Ratings: Checking the legibility, durability, and correctness of markings for power input, voltage and manufacturer information.
- Protection from Electric Shock: Protects users from coming into contact with live internal components during operation and maintenance.
- Test for Power Input and Current: Measures the power input to see that it does not exceed the safe level.
- Test for Temperature Rise (heating): Measures the temperature limits for handle and motor.
- Leakage Current and Electric Strength: Ensures that there is no leakage current which may cause electric shock on metallic parts.
- Resistance to Moisture and Insulation Test: Conducted to test performance under moisture to avoid short circuits.
- Test for Mechanical Strength and Vibration: Tests the enclosure for strength and vibration resistance due to the vibrations caused by the motor.
- Test for Abnormal Conditions: To check whether the tool overheats or catches fire when there is an electrical/mechanical problem.
- Clearances and Creepage Distances: Check the distance between conductors to avoid electrical arcing
