Dear Viewer,

Important update regarding Indian Standard applicable to all existing Licence holders/ New applicants/ manufacturers/ importers/ product sellers for Household, Commercial, and Similar Electrical Appliances.

BIS QCO for Electrical Home Appliances IS 302 (Part 1):2024

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.

What Does This Mean?

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.
