BIS Certification for Slicing Machines IS 302 Part 1:2024/IEC 60335-1

BIS Certification for Slicing Machines is a legal requirement in India to ensure compliance with safety and quality standards. BIS has developed the standard IS 302 Part 1:2024/IEC 60335-1for slicing machines that will compel manufacturers and importers to manufacture safe and quality products by maintaining the protection standards, and also increase the trust of consumers in their products.

In today's competitive environment, slicing machines are important equipment widely used in homes, restaurants, and the food processing industry for efficiently preparing a variety of ingredients. Hence, these machines must be safe.BIS certification addresses the safety of slicing machines by ensuring they are not exposed to risks such as overheating, mechanical hazards, and fire under the Household Commercial and Similar Electrical Appliances Quality Control Order (QCO), 2026, which must be rated up to 250 V AC (Single Phase), up to 480 V for other appliances.

Testing Requirements for IS 302 (Part 1)/IEC 60335-1 for Slicing Machines

The testing parameter requirements under IS 302 (Part 1):2024, which is a general safety standard, are Certification Scheme 1. By aligning with the IEC 60335-1 framework, the certification is designed so that appliances meet globally recognised benchmarks, making it safe and suitable for working environments:

• Temperature Limits for Heating: The motor and electrical components should operate safely without overheating, even in abnormal situations, such as when the blade gets jammed or the appliance runs continuously.
• Stability: Ensure the appliance remains balanced and does not exhibit any hazardous characteristics when stationary on a flat surface or when making large slices.
• Power Input and Current: Ensure that the rated power input and current lie within acceptable limits.
• Identification and Instructional Markings: Appliances should be fitted with identification and instructional markings that show the voltage rating, power consumption, manufacturing date, etc.
• Leakage Current & Electrical Strength Test: Leakage current and electrical strength of the appliance are determined at normal operating temperature.
