As these appliances come into direct contact with users and operate using electricity, they must comply with safety requirements to ensure reliable performance and minimise the risks of electric shock, overheating, and mechanical hazards associated with their use. The BIS Certification of Oral Hygiene Appliances as per IS 302 (Part 1):2024/IEC 60335-1 is a general requirement certifying that the product complies with all essential electrical safety standards.
