Important update regarding Indian Standard applicable to all existing Licence holders/ New applicants/ manufacturers/ importers/ product sellers for Household, Commercial, and Similar Electrical Appliances.
On 19th May 2025, the Ministry
of Commerce and Industry (Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal
Trade) issued a new notification titled the "Safety of Household, Commercial and Similar Electrical Appliances
(Quality Control) Order, 2025."
This new order supersedes the 2024 version, introducing updated safety regulations
for electrical appliances used in residential, commercial, and similar
settings.
The order covers all electrical appliances designed for household, commercial, or similar applications, with a rated voltage of up to 250V for single-phase
AC and 415V for three-phase AC.
This ensures that a broad category of everyday and industrial-use appliances
falls under strict quality control measures.
All such appliances must now conform to the safety standards
specified under IS 302 (Part 1): 2008
and carry the ISI mark issued by the
Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). The ISI mark certifies that the products have
been thoroughly tested and meet the necessary safety standards.
The implementation of this Quality
Control Order (QCO) will be phased based on the size of the enterprise:
