BIS ISI Mark Certification for Electric Iron – IS 366:1991

Comply with Indian Safety Standards. Certify with Confidence. Trust Standphill India.

Electric irons are a household essential — and a potential fire or shock hazard if not built to standard. To ensure public safety and product quality, the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) mandates that all electric irons sold in India must be certified under IS 366:1991.

If you're a manufacturer or importer of electric irons, obtaining a BIS ISI license is mandatory to sell legally in the Indian market. With expert support from Standphill India, you can complete the certification process efficiently, avoid delays, and build trust in your product.

What Is IS 366:1991?

IS 366:1991 is the Indian Standard that specifies safety and performance requirements for electric irons. It applies to:

Dry irons

Steam irons

Corded and cordless designs

Automatic temperature-controlled models

The standard ensures:

Electrical safety: Protection from shock, fire, and overcurrent

Thermal stability: Safe surface temperatures and insulation resistance

Performance checks: Power consumption, heating time, and auto shutoff

Construction quality: Secure wiring, terminals, and earthing

Marking and labeling: Voltage rating, ISI mark, safety instructions

Complying with IS 366:1991 ensures that electric irons are safe for consumer use and meet the performance expectations of Indian households.

Why BIS Certification for Electric Irons Is Mandatory

The Government of India has made BIS certification compulsory for electric irons under the Compulsory Registration Scheme (CRS) and Quality Control Orders (QCOs) issued by the Ministry of Consumer Affairs.

Legal requirements:

No electric iron can be sold, imported, or distributed in India without ISI mark certification under IS 366:1991.

All certified products must carry the ISI logo and license number.

Non-compliance can result in penalties, product recalls, or legal action under the BIS Act, 2016.

This applies to domestic manufacturers, importers, and private label brands.
