Category: BIS Certification
BIS certification for sauna heating appliances and infrared cabins is essential for manufacturers and importers aiming to sell these appliances safely and legally in the Indian market. The Bureau of Indian Standards mandates obtaining certification under IS 302 Part 1:2024, which guarantees the safety and performance of domestic and commercial electrical appliances.
Products that are certified gain an added advantage in credibility and market entry, with a strong brand reputation in today’s competitive world. Sauna Heating Appliances and Infrared Cabins are now necessities for both household and commercial use and are becoming increasingly popular for their relaxation and wellness benefits. The BIS certifies these wellness products to ensure that key electrical, heat, and construction safety requirements are met. With the increasing demand for wellness products, their popularity and market are rising, creating an opportunity for import/export. This involves testing products on various parameters, such as leakage current, insulation resistance, and maximum temperature limits.
Testing Parameters for Sauna Heating Appliances and Infrared Cabins IS 302 Part 1: 2024/IEC 60335-1
To confirm that the appliance is covered by The Safety of Household, Commercial, and similar electrical appliances, Quality Control Order, appliances must undergo rigorous BIS testing against IS 302 Part 1:2024, aligned with IEC 60335-1:
- Heat & Overload Protection: The tests ensure that no hazardous temperatures occur within the appliance, which could cause burns to consumers or result in fires. The transformer and circuitry must not be overheated.
- Leakage current & Electric strength: Adequate electrical insulation must be achieved by the appliance even while operating at its maximum temperature.
- Water Resistance: These appliances are designed to operate in very humid environments. Testing ensures that there is no water ingress, which may cause a short circuit.
- Earthing and Insulation: There should be sufficient insulation of internal wiring and enclosure grounding to withstand the high ambient heat inside the cabin.
- Mechanical Hazards & Stability: The heating element, door panels, and cabinet structure should be sufficiently robust and stable to prevent tipping or collapse.
- Minimum Clearance & Creepage Distances: Strict evaluations are conducted to ensure minimum clearances and creepage distances to prevent electrical arcing.
- Resistance to heat and fire: The test employs the Glow Wire Test to ensure that the plastics used in the appliance will not catch fire if a fault occurs.
