Category: BIS Certification
BIS certification is strictly mandatory for surface-cleaning appliances (liquid or steam). Compliance must be met by October 1, 2026, ensuring the appliances conform to IS 302 (Part 1): 2024 / IEC 60335-1:2020. Manufacturers and importers who obtain BIS Certification not only ensure regulatory compliance but also enhance product reliability, strengthen consumer confidence, facilitate market access, and demonstrate a commitment to electrical safety and quality.
Surface-cleaning appliances are used in homes and businesses for efficient cleaning, as they operate using liquid and steam. The certification ensures appliances (rated up to 250V for single-phase or 415V for three-phase) are rigorously tested for electrical shock, thermal performance, and mechanical stability. With the implementation of the Safety of Household, Commercial and Similar Electrical Appliances (Quality Control) Order, 2026, BIS certification has become an essential compliance requirement for bringing eligible surface-cleaning appliances to market in India.
Testing of cleaning devices, both liquid and vapour systems, in accordance with IS 302 Part 1:2024 and IEC 60335-1 assesses electrical safety hazards and thermal safety risks. It examines the most important characteristics, such as moisture resistance, insulation in wet conditions, and resistance to abnormal working conditions, to prevent fires and electric shock caused by the combination of power, water, and steam.
