Urgent Call
Moving into the complex world of product compliance for safety testing for BIS approval has a far bigger meaning; it is essential for meeting regulatory requirements and accessing the Indian market.
Sunren takes you through this exhaustive process accurately and competently, always there to guide you.
The BIS is the national body in India responsible for ensuring that products meet the applicable requirements for safety, quality, and performance.
The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) is the National Standards Body of India under the Department of Consumer Affairs, Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Food & Public Distribution, Government of India.
The organization was formerly the Indian Standards Institution (ISI), set up under the Resolution of the Department of Industries and Supplies No. 1 Std. (4)/45, dated 3 September 1946.
The BIS creates standards for almost everything artificially created for use by any entity. Accordingly, the BIS standardizes all devices/materials/products in electrical, electronic, mechanical, chemical, medical, metallurgical, and many other fields.
With effect from May 2013, the BIS introduced the CRS ( Compulsory registration scheme) for mandatory approval of a specific set of commonly used electronic and electrical devices, both imported and manufactured in India.
The CRS was aimed at guaranteeing the safety of the end user from the hazards of using poorly designed, electrically incompatible, and sub-standard build of cheaply imported equipment sold in the market
Accordingly, samples of the device/material/product prior to import have to be tested by a BIS-designated test facility for compliance with the relevant safety standard issued by the BIS.
Only BIS-approved devices/materials/products are allowed to be sold in the Indian market
BIS certification supports consumer confidence by demonstrating that the product has met the applicable BIS requirements for quality and safety.
Meeting the applicable regulatory requirements is essential for products intended for sale in the Indian market.
These BIS standards include categories ranging from electrical appliances, IT, and telecom products to several others.
Safety testing ranges from electrical safety checks to mechanical durability tests and is an important requirement for products entering the Indian market.
Electrical safety testing evaluates electronic devices to ensure that they do not short-circuit, overheat, or create a fire hazard.
Voltage Surge Test: The test simulates spikes in power to make sure your product can handle erratic voltages.
Insulation Resistance Test: This is applied to guarantee that electric parts are appropriately insulated to avoid shock and malfunction.
This test puts the physical robustness of your product to test to see if it can, in fact, take everyday wear and tear.
Drop Test: This testing procedure ensures that the product is capable of taking a blow if it drops from a certain height.
Impact Resistance Test: Evaluates how well your product withstands specified impact conditions.
The testing process involves defined technical requirements and procedures. The key steps are outlined below.
Product and Documents Submission
Submit your product samples along with the relevant technical documentation, including product schematics, component lists, and user manuals.
Testing at BIS-Recognized Laboratories
Once submitted, your product goes through all types of testing in labs accredited by BIS.
Safety testing is not a one-size-fits-all thing; each product has its unique test protocol, designed to simulate its function, usage environment, and potential hazards.
High-Temperature Exposure Test: Exposing your product to extreme heat to see whether it keeps its cool.
-Performing the thermal cycling test involves rapid changes from hot to cold with the intent of simulating real-life conditions.
Testing for EMC ensures your product does not interfere with, or get interfered by, other devices.
Radiated Emissions Test:
This tests whether your product's electromagnetic radiations are within permissible limits.
Conducted Immunity Test:
This test is performed to make sure your product is immune from external electromagnetic disturbances.
If your product passes the applicable testing requirements, the next steps can proceed as required under the applicable BIS process.
Once the applicable BIS requirements are completed, the product can proceed toward market entry in accordance with the applicable requirements.
