BIS Certification for Safety of Household and Similar Electrical Appliance

Introduction

IS 302 Part 2 Section 32 1994 and IS 302 Part 1 set safety rules for massage appliances sold in India. These rules focus on the basic safety of electrical products used at home or in small workplaces. Items like handheld massagers, foot massagers, and shoulder massagers fall under this group. People use these machines every day, and the demand keeps rising. That is why Indian safety rules hold great value in this market.

BIS certification with the ISI mark is needed before these appliances can be traded. It helps with import and export and is linked with the QCO order. This mark shows that the product has passed the safety checks under BIS. Companies must plan the licensing steps and meet the needed points before applying.
