Introduction
Electric fence energizers find common use in farming, animal control, and security applications. The standards under IS 302 Part 2: Section 76:1999 and IS 302 Part 1 define safety requirements for these devices through BIS certification. With urban areas growing and incomes rising, more people are using these devices. BIS certification is essential to sell products in India. It confirms that products meet safety and quality rules. The ISI mark is mandatory for customs clearance and market approval.
