BIS (Bureau of Indian requirements) certification assures that cables fulfill India’s safety and quality requirements. To get a BIS license, producers must determine the appropriate Indian Standard (IS code), such as IS 694 for PVC-insulated cables. The procedure consists of applying online at manakonline.in, submitting documentation, undergoing factory inspection, and testing samples at a BIS-approved lab. BIS certifies the ISI mark once compliance is met. Regular inspections and renewals guarantee that quality remains consistent. This accreditation is required for selling cables in India and ensures safety, dependability, and regulatory compliance.

17048 : 2018Yes, IS 694 is the Indian Standard for PVC-insulated cables used in low-voltage applications like domestic wiring, industrial installations, and power distribution.
304 cable typically refers to 304 stainless steel wire rope, widely used in marine, construction, and industrial applications due to its high corrosion resistance and strength.
The ISI mark is a certification by BIS ensuring electrical products meet Indian safety and quality standards, mandatory for cables, switches, and electrical appliances.
The IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) standard for cables includes IEC 60227 (PVC-insulated cables) and IEC 60502 (power cables up to 30 kV).
The Indian Standard for fiber optic cables is IS 16205, while internationally, IEC 60794 defines fiber optic cable construction and performance standards.
