Certain electrical appliances used for personal care, wellness, and cosmetic treatment are subject to mandatory BIS (ISI) certification in India<\/a><\/strong>. The certification requirements are defined by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS)<\/a><\/strong> and ensure that electrical appliances comply with Indian safety, quality, and performance requirements<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For many appliances in this category, certification is based on the Indian Standard IS 302 (Part 1):2024<\/strong>, which is aligned with the international standard IEC 60335-1:2020 for the safety of household and similar electrical appliances<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Manufacturers intending to sell or import these products in India must obtain BIS certification under the ISI Scheme<\/strong>. The certification process confirms compliance with the applicable Indian Standards<\/strong> and typically includes product testing in BIS-recognized laboratories and factory inspections conducted by BIS authorities<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

BIS (ISI) Certification under IS 302 (Part 1):2024 \/ IEC 60335-1:2020 \u2013 Safety of Personal Care and Wellness Appliances<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The standard IS 302 (Part 1):2024<\/strong>, harmonized with IEC 60335-1:2020<\/strong>, establishes general safety requirements for electrical appliances used in household and similar environments<\/strong>. This includes devices designed for personal hygiene, cosmetic treatment, and wellness applications<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The standard addresses key safety aspects such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • protection against electric shock<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • mechanical safety and structural integrity<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • temperature limits and overheating protection<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • fire hazards and insulation requirements<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • safe operation under normal use and fault conditions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Manufacturers of appliances covered by this standard must obtain BIS certification under the ISI Scheme<\/strong>. Compliance is verified through product testing according to the standard and an inspection of the manufacturing facility conducted by BIS<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Products typically covered include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • electric shavers and hair clippers<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • oral hygiene appliances<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • massage appliances<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • skin beauty care appliances<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • beauty appliances using lasers or intense light<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • appliances for skin exposure to optical radiation<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • whirlpool baths and spa systems<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • sauna heating appliances and infrared cabins<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • toilet appliances<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • and further electrical appliances used for personal care, hygiene, cosmetic treatment, or wellness applications.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Depending on the product type, additional product-specific parts of the IS 302 \/ IEC 60335 series<\/strong> may also apply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n\n\n\n

      Is BIS Certification Mandatory for Personal Care Appliances in India?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      If personal care, wellness, or beauty appliances fall under mandatory BIS certification requirements notified by the Indian government<\/strong>, manufacturers must obtain BIS certification before the products can be sold, imported, or distributed in India<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Certified appliances must carry the ISI mark<\/strong>, which confirms compliance with the applicable Indian Standard and BIS safety requirements<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      These requirements apply to both domestic manufacturers and foreign manufacturers exporting electrical appliances to India<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n\n\n\n

      What Is the BIS (ISI) Certification Procedure?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      The BIS ISI certification process<\/strong> for personal care and wellness appliances generally includes the following steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      1. Identification of the applicable Indian Standard (IS)<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. Preparation and submission of the BIS certification application<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
      3. Product testing in a BIS-recognized laboratory<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
      4. Factory inspection conducted by BIS officials<\/strong> to verify manufacturing and quality control processes<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      5. Evaluation of the test reports and inspection findings<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      6. Issuance of the BIS license authorizing the use of the ISI mark<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        Manufacturers must maintain ongoing quality assurance and compliance procedures<\/strong> after certification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n\n\n\n

        How Long Does BIS Certification for Personal Care Appliances Take?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        The duration of the BIS certification process in India<\/strong> depends on several factors, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        • product complexity<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • duration of laboratory testing<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • completeness of technical documentation<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • scheduling of factory inspections<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • BIS review and approval timelines<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

          In practice, obtaining a BIS license may take several months<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
