BIS certification

Introduction to Certification

The Bureau of Indian Standards (hereinafter referred to as BIS), in accordance with the provisions of The BIS Act, 1986, the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) is the Indian standardization and certification authority, specifically responsible for product certification, and is the certification authority for BIS certification. BIS consists of 5 regional bureaus and 19 sub bureaus. The regional bureau supervises the corresponding branch. Eight laboratories and some independent laboratories under BIS are responsible for the inspection of samples taken during the product certification process. These laboratories are implemented according to ISO/IEC17025.

Since BIS's predecessor, the Indian Standards Institute, started product certification in 1955, it has been 50 years since India's product certification. At present, BIS has issued more than 30000 product certification certificates, covering almost every industrial field such as agricultural products, textiles and electronics.

In principle, the product certification in India adopts the principle of voluntary certification, aiming to provide the final consumers with safe and reliable products with quality assurance. However, considering factors such as public health and safety, national security, infrastructure demand and mass consumption, the Indian government has issued various statutory measures to implement compulsory certification for about 90 specific products, such as milk powder, cement, steel pipes, oil pressure furnaces, multi-purpose dry batteries, medical X-ray diagnostic equipment, plastic milk bottles, bottled mineral water, bottled drinking water, steel and steel products. All products, manufacturers or importers within the scope of compulsory certification products must first apply to BIS for import product certification certificate, and the customs will release the goods according to the certification certificate.

The product certification in India basically follows the principle of voluntary certification, aiming to provide the final consumers with safe and reliable products with quality assurance. BIS product certification is mainly based on ISO Guide28, through the initial inspection and evaluation of the factory quality management system, the supervision of the factory quality management system after certification, and the testing of samples taken from the factory and the market, to determine whether the products are consistent with Indian standards.

Introduction to Certification

In May 2006, according to India's Energy Conservation Act (2001), the Ministry of Energy of India established the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) as the owner of the energy efficiency labeling plan, which is responsible for the development, formulation and implementation of India's energy labeling plan.

The purpose of this plan is to provide energy efficiency performance information and help consumers choose commodities. It was officially implemented on May 18, 2006. The first products to implement this plan are frost free refrigerators and tubular fluorescent lamps. At present, the product categories involved have expanded to 19 categories: frost free refrigerators, tubular fluorescent lamps, indoor air conditioners, distribution transformers, indoor air conditioners (embedded, floor mounted, ceiling mounted, wall mounted), direct cooling refrigerators, induction motors, agricultural pumps, ceiling fans, electric water heaters, color televisions, washing machines, computers (laptops/laptops), liquefied petroleum gas furnaces and ballasts.

The Energy Efficiency Labeling Program was originally a voluntary program. Later, according to a series of energy efficiency laws and regulations issued by India (see India's Energy Efficiency Laws and Regulations column of this topic for a detailed list of laws and regulations), since July 2010, tubular fluorescent lamps, indoor air conditioners, power distribution transformers and frost free refrigerators must be subject to mandatory energy efficiency labeling plans. Products without energy efficiency labels must not be sold in the Indian market. For other products, the energy efficiency labeling program remains voluntary.

The test needs to be completed in a qualified laboratory in India, and the local agent in India needs to apply for energy efficiency registration on BEE's official website.

Product scope

Compulsory certification products:

1. Frost Free (No Frost) Refrigerator

2. Tubular Fluorescent Lamps

3. Room Air Conditioners

4. Distribution Transformer

Voluntary certification products:

1. Room Air Conditioners (Cassette, Floor Standing Tower, Ceiling, Corner AC)

2. Direct Cool Refrigerator

3. Induction Motors

4. Agricultural Pump Sets

5. Ceiling Fans

6. Domestic Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) Stoves

7. Electric Geysers

8. Color TV

9. Washing Machine

10. Computer (Notebook/Laptops)

12. Office equipment's (Printer, Copier, Scanner, MFD's)

13. Diesel Engine Driven Monoset Pumps for Agricultural Purposes

14. Solid State Inverter

15. Diesel Generator

Application process

1. The customer prepares samples and submits them to Sincere Testing

2. Sincerely send samples to qualified laboratories for testing and issue test reports

3. After the test, register energy efficiency on BEE's official website

4. The registration is approved, the energy efficiency certificate is issued, and the applicant applies for purchasing labels

5. After the energy efficiency label is affixed, it can be sold in the market

Label requirements

India's electrical energy efficiency label belongs to the comparison label, which is mainly composed of three parts. The first part is to indicate the energy efficiency level of the product through five five pointed stars. The level of the product belongs to, and the corresponding level is expressed in reverse. The higher the level, the more energy saving the product; In the second part, the product's energy consumption indicators (such as annual power consumption or energy efficiency ratio) are accurately indicated with figures, and the product name, trademark name, product model name, main operating parameters and energy consumption indicators of the equipment, and relevant IS standard numbers that meet the minimum energy efficiency requirements are listed on the right or below them; The third part is the blue-green logo of the Indian Energy Efficiency Agency. Some labels shall also indicate the label grant number.

The energy efficiency labels of different products are slightly different. The energy efficiency labels of air conditioners are as follows:

The energy efficiency label of TV is as follows:

The energy efficiency labels of tubular fluorescent lamps are as follows:
