ISI / BIS Certification for Electric Ceiling Type Fans

Popular and effective equipment for cooling and air circulation in homes, offices, and factories are electric ceiling fans. Usually installed on the ceiling, these fans' purpose is to move air downward and produce a refreshing breeze in warm weather. The potential of electric ceiling fans to increase interior comfort and energy efficiency is one of its main advantages. They aid in the more uniform distribution of conditioned air by encouraging air circulation, which can result in a more even and pleasant temperature across a space.

The technical details and quality standards for electric ceiling fans are outlined in IS 374:2019. By following these guidelines, manufacturers may reliably create fans of superior quality, which will increase their lifetime and performance. Manufacturers can limit their liability in the event of product failure, accidents, or damage resulting from non-compliant items by adhering to set standards. Adherence to this guideline also assists producers in evading legal troubles and fines.

This standard describes the performance requirements that apply to ceiling fans that use brushless direct current (DC), squirrel cage induction, and capacitor-type motors while running on single-phase, 50 Hz alternating current. It is suitable for fans with voltage ratings up to and including 250 V that are made for domestic usage and other similar applications. Along with the fans being tested, the manufacturer must also supply the appropriate fan/speed regulator that is compatible with the fan being tested in order to ease testing by the inspecting or testing authority or the customer.

Note: In order to sell electric ceiling fans, manufacturers must get the mandatory ISI Mark Certification.

In order to protect customers and advance product reliability, electric ceiling type fans must be ISI certified. This certification serves as an obligatory step to verify that these fans comply with strict technical requirements and safety rules established by the BIS. In addition to guaranteeing adherence to accepted technical standards, this certification for electric ceiling-type fans helps customers rest easy knowing that the fans they install in their homes or places of business are dependable, effective, and safe.

About ISI / BIS Certification

Indian Standards Institute, or ISI was renamed the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) in 1987. The official mark that the Bureau of Indian Standards provides for manufacturers of various goods is the ISI Mark. It is used to indicate compliance with Indian standards (IS) set by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) and has been used as a conformity marking for industrial products. Manufacturers received permission from BIS to use the ISI Mark on items that comply with relevant Indian requirements through the product certification program. 

Only manufacturers (domestic or foreign) who produce the finished product will be awarded ISI Certification. This will not be given to any product importers, traders, dealers, or distributors.
