ISI / BIS Certification for Insulated Flask for Domestic Use

Domestic insulated flasks, which provide a practical and environmentally responsible way to maintain beverage temperature, have become indispensable tools in our everyday lives. Usually built with two walls, these flasks are composed of glass or stainless steel and have an insulating layer between them to control the temperature of their contents. They excel at keeping hot beverages hot and cold ones cold for lengthy periods of time because to their creative structure. Domestic insulated flasks are adaptable and good for many different uses. They're ideal for keeping tea or coffee hot all day long, especially in the morning. In a similar vein, they maintain the coolness of cold drinks like juice, water, and iced tea even during hot weather. They are perfect for use on outdoor activities, at the workplace, or at home because of their adaptability.

The Indian Standard IS 17790:2022 lays forth specifications for insulated flasks used for home usage. The production of insulated flasks that satisfy certain quality and safety requirements is aided by compliance with IS 17790:2022, guaranteeing the safety of the beverages kept in these flasks. Following these guidelines guarantees that the insulated flasks are made to efficiently maintain the intended temperature, protecting the beverages' freshness and quality. Manufacturers who follow these guidelines lower their risk of legal problems and liabilities by ensuring that their goods meet food safety rules.

Note: The necessary ISI Mark Certification must be obtained by domestic manufacturers of insulated flasks.

The ISI certification is essential for guaranteeing the performance, quality, and safety of these commonplace home devices, which are used extensively to maintain the temperature of beverages and enhance daily comfort and convenience. It means that these items have passed extensive testing and meet the strict standards established by the BIS, which are meant to assess their functionality, robustness, and safety. With this certification, you can be confident that the materials used to make these flasks are safe and devoid of any dangerous compounds that can jeopardize the safety of the beverages being kept.

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.
