BIS Certification for DC Supplied/Battery-Operated Foot Warmers & Heating Mats

A Warm Story of Comfort, Safety, and Compliance

On a chilly winter morning, imagine slipping your feet into a cozy battery-operated foot warmer or resting on a soft heating mat. Within minutes, the biting cold is replaced by gentle warmth, making you feel at ease and ready for the day ahead.

These small appliances might seem simple, but behind their comforting heat lies a crucial story of safety, performance, and trust. With the growing popularity of DC supplied and battery-operated appliances, the Government of India has now brought foot warmers and heating mats under the scope of mandatory BIS certification under the Safety of Household, Commercial and Similar Electrical Appliances (Quality Control) Order, 2025.

From 19th March 2026, no such product can be sold in India without BIS approval

Why Certification Matters for Foot Warmers & Heating Mats

These appliances deal directly with electric heating and are often in contact with the human body. Risks of short circuits, overheating, fire hazards, or battery malfunctions can’t be ignored.

That’s why the Government mandates compliance with IS 302 (Part 1): 2024 / IEC 60335-1:2020, which sets the general safety requirements for household and similar electrical appliances.

Certification ensures:

1. ) Safe operation with no overheating risks

2. ) Battery safety checks to avoid leaks or explosions

3. ) Durability & performance under Indian climatic conditions

4. ) Consumer trust in certified, BIS-marked products

Who Needs to Comply?

All manufacturers, importers, and sellers of DC supplied/battery-operated foot warmers and heating mats must obtain BIS certification.

1. ) General manufacturers: By 19th March 2026

2. ) Small enterprises: By 19th June 2026

3. ) Micro enterprises: By 19th September 2026

Failure to comply may lead to penalties under the BIS Act, 2016.
