BIS Safety Rules for Electric Insect Killers

Introduction

Electric insect killers are common in homes, shops, food units, farms, and many other places. People prefer safe and steady devices that work well without trouble. This makes safety rules very important. The rise in home appliances and light industrial tools has increased the use of these products. Buyers now expect safe and trusted devices.

BIS approval is needed before selling these insect killers in India. Makers need a valid license under the QCO order. The ISI mark and BIS customs steps are also part of this process. Fees may differ, but the rules must be met before entering the market.
