Lighting chains, often called rope lights, are flexible and decorative lighting solutions that offer versatility and ambience to various indoor and outdoor settings. These unique lighting fixtures consist of a string or tube of tiny LED bulbs encased in a flexible, translucent PVC or rubber tube, allowing for creative and intricate lighting designs. The primary function of lighting chains, or rope lights, is to provide gentle, diffused, and colourful illumination for decorative purposes.
They are commonly used for accent lighting, outlining architectural features, and creating a festive atmosphere during special occasions and holidays. Rope lights are known for their flexibility and ability to conform to various shapes, making them ideal for embellishing landscapes, signage, and event décor. One of the key advantages of rope lights is their energy efficiency. They consume less electricity, making them cost-effective for extended use.
IS 10322 (Part 5/Sec 9): 2017 is an Indian Standard that specifies the requirements for lighting chains (rope lights). IS 10322 (Part 5/Sec 9): 2017 ensures that lighting chains meet specified quality and performance standards. Meeting these standards helps manufacturers produce high-quality and reliable lighting products. Adherence to these standards minimizes the risk of electrical accidents and ensures the safety of consumers. Compliance with IS 10322 (Part 5/Sec 9): 2017 helps manufacturers meet these regulatory requirements, making their products legally compliant and safe for consumers.
Note: Manufacturers of lighting chains (rope lights) are required to obtain the mandatory BIS/CRS Registration to launch their products in the Indian market.
BIS/CRS Registration ensures that lighting chains entering the Indian market are subjected to a thorough evaluation, confirming their compliance with stringent quality and safety standards set by the Bureau of Indian Standards. This registration offers assurance to consumers, manufacturers, and regulatory authorities that these lighting chains are not only safe and free from defects but also contribute to the availability of reliable and aesthetically pleasing lighting options in the Indian market, enhancing decor and functionality while upholding necessary safety and quality standards.
Bureau of Indian Standards is a statutory body in India responsible for the formulation and implementation of standards to ensure the quality and safety of various products. Under the BIS framework, there exists a scheme called CRS (Compulsory Registration Scheme), which mandates that certain categories of products must undergo mandatory registration and comply with specified quality and safety standards before they can be sold in the Indian market. This scheme was established in 2012 and has since played a crucial role in enhancing product quality and safety in India by ensuring that items such as electronics, appliances and automotive components meet the necessary standards before they reach consumers. BIS/CRS Registration is vital for market access, as it is a legal requirement for selling the product in India. Failure to obtain this registration can result in confiscation of goods and legal consequences. Therefore, manufacturers and importers need to be diligent in ensuring their products meet the necessary criteria.
