Introduction
Cooking units like ranges, hobs, and ovens need a BIS stamp before they reach stores in India. These machines heat food in many homes and small kitchens. People want units that save power and do more work in less time. This makes safety checks important.
The rules for these units sit under IS 302 Part 2, Sec 6, and the main section of IS 302 Part 1. These rules guide the safety side of home cooking units. Makers must follow the test path before placing these units on the market.
Presto Laboratories helps makers with papers, samples, and the full path for the BIS stamp. Once the unit clears the steps, the maker gets the stamp for that model.
Overview
