Pressure Sensitive
Adhesive Insulating Tapes for Electrical Purposes are essential components in
electrical insulation, designed to offer reliable insulation and protection for
wiring and connections. These tapes are crafted with a durable adhesive that
maintains a strong bond, providing excellent resistance to moisture, heat, and
wear. Ideal for use in residential, commercial, and industrial electrical
applications, these tapes ensure safety by insulating exposed wiring, reducing
the risk of short circuits, and supporting secure electrical connections. Their
flexibility, ease of use, and strong adhesion make them indispensable in
maintaining the integrity and safety of electrical systems.
Introduction
The Ministry of
Commerce and Industry, through the Department for Promotion of Industry and
Internal Trade (DPIIT), issued the Electrical Accessories (Quality Control)
Order, 2023, mandating BIS certification for Pressure Sensitive Adhesive
Insulating Tapes for Electrical Purposes. This order, effective January 1,
2024, requires compliance with Indian Standard IS 7809 (Part 3/Sec 1):1986,
ensuring that these tapes meet stringent quality and safety benchmarks. BIS
certification, indicated by the ISI mark, is now mandatory before selling these
products in India, ensuring they are reliable and safe for use in electrical
applications. This regulation enhances consumer protection and promotes
adherence to quality standards in the electrical industry.
Why is BIS Certification Necessary for Pressure Sensitive Adhesive
Insulating Tapes?
BIS certification
is essential for Pressure Sensitive Adhesive Insulating Tapes as it enforces
strict quality standards, minimizing risks such as electrical faults due to
insulation failure. The Electrical Accessories (Quality Control) Order, 2023
mandates BIS certification under Indian Standard IS 7809 (Part 3/Sec 1):1986,
ensuring product reliability and safety. Non-compliance with this regulation is
punishable under the Bureau of Indian Standards Act, 2016, underscoring the
importance of certification. BIS certification assures both manufacturers and
consumers that these tapes meet crucial safety and performance requirements,
thereby enhancing trust in the product’s reliability and promoting safer
electrical environments.
Overview of Indian Standard IS 7809 (Part 3/Sec 1):1986
Indian Standard IS
7809 (Part 3/Sec 1):1986 defines the requirements for Pressure Sensitive
Adhesive Insulating Tapes used in electrical applications. It specifies
critical parameters such as adhesion strength, dielectric strength, heat
resistance, and durability to ensure effective insulation in diverse environments.
Compliance with IS 7809 (Part 3/Sec 1):1986, as mandated by the Electrical
Accessories (Quality Control) Order, 2023, is essential for manufacturers to
meet safety and quality benchmarks. This standard supports safer electrical
installations by requiring insulating tapes to offer dependable protection
against electrical faults, ensuring that products in the market adhere to high
standards of quality and safety.
The BIS
certification process for Pressure Sensitive Adhesive Insulating Tapes for
Electrical Purposes 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.
3. Factory Inspection: BIS officials
conduct an on-site inspection of the manufacturing facility to assess the
production process and quality control measures.
4. Sample Testing: Product samples are
taken and tested in BIS-approved laboratories to verify compliance with Indian
standards.
5. Certification Grant: Upon successful
completion of the inspection and testing, BIS grants certification, allowing
the manufacturer to use the BIS mark on their products.
To apply for BIS
certification, manufacturers need to submit the following documents:
●
Application form
●
Manufacturing process details
●
Quality control plan
●
Test reports from BIS-approved
laboratories
●
Factory layout and equipment
details
●
Proof of business registration
●
Product specifications and
technical details
●
Declaration of conformity to
Indian standards
Additionally, manufacturers may be required to provide proof of compliance with environmental and safety regulations, depending on the specific type of product being certified.
