IS 302 Part 1 2024 covers household and commercial appliances that expose the skin to optical radiation. These include lamps and beauty devices used in salons and wellness spaces. People depend on these appliances for safe skin care, so safety rules carry weight. The market for such items is rising in India because more buyers now seek beauty and wellness tools. For trade in and out of India, a BIS licence is needed for the smooth movement of goods.

To get this mark, the maker has to hold an ISI mark for the product. Firms also have to follow licensing steps and QCO rules before sales can begin. Fees for BIS and customs play a part in the import and export journey. The right licence builds trust among buyers and helps brands move forward.
Scope of IS 302 Part 1 2024
This standard covers safety for household appliances up to 250 V and for devices above 415 V used in shops and farm setups. The rules treat children as possible users, so extra care is included. Shock protection, earthing points, and moisture resistance form a core part of the checks. Extra tests help keep the user safe while the appliance is in use.
