Manufactured with high-quality materials, they support reliable electrical distribution in commercial, residential, and industrial spaces. Their durable structure, ease of installation, and robust design make them ideal for housing cables in various environments, contributing to cleaner, safer electrical setups.

Introduction

The Ministry of Commerce and Industry, through the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT), has mandated that all Cable Trunking and Ducting Systems intended for wall or ceiling mounting comply with the Electrical Accessories (Quality Control) Order, 2023. Enforced from January 1, 2024, this order requires manufacturers to obtain BIS certification to apply the ISI Mark before selling these products in India. The BIS certification confirms adherence to the quality, safety, and performance requirements of Indian Standard IS 14927 (Part 2): 2001, supporting high standards in electrical infrastructure and enhancing consumer trust.

Why is BIS Certification Necessary for Cable Trunking and Ducting Systems? 

BIS certification ensures that Cable Trunking and Ducting Systems meet essential Indian safety and quality standards, preventing hazards and enhancing the overall safety of electrical installations. The Electrical Accessories (Quality Control) Order, 2023, makes this certification compulsory, with stringent penalties under the Bureau of Indian Standards Act, 2016 for non-compliance. This certification mandates that products meet IS 14927 (Part 2): 2001 standards, ensuring their structural integrity, electrical insulation, and reliability. BIS certification thus provides manufacturers with regulatory compliance, while giving consumers confidence in the safety and quality of certified products available in the Indian market.

Overview of Indian Standard IS 14927 (Part 2): 2001 

Indian Standard IS 14927 (Part 2): 2001 specifies requirements for Cable Trunking and Ducting Systems intended for wall or ceiling mounting in electrical installations. This standard covers essential parameters such as material quality, resistance to mechanical stress, insulation properties, and fire safety, ensuring optimal performance and durability. Adherence to IS 14927 (Part 2): 2001 safeguards electrical installations by preventing the risks associated with poorly insulated or unstable wiring enclosures. By enforcing BIS certification under this standard, the Electrical Accessories (Quality Control) Order, 2023 upholds the integrity of electrical infrastructure, promoting a safer environment for both residential and commercial applications.

Process for BIS Certification

The BIS certification process for Cable Trunking and Ducting Systems for Electrical Installations involves multiple steps, designed to thoroughly evaluate a product's compliance with the required standards. Here is a general overview of the certification process:

1. Application Submission: Manufacturers must submit an application form along with required documentation to BIS.

2. Documentation Review: BIS reviews the submitted documents to ensure completeness and correctness.
