For home water heating, the BIS certification license for electrical appliances guarantees adherence to Indian Standards (IS) to preserve safety and quality. Important guidelines call for IS 368:2014 for electric immersion water heaters, IS 302-2-21:2011 for storage-type water heaters, and IS 302-2-35:2017 for instantaneous water heaters. Manufacturers have to apply to BIS, have products tested, and pass a plant inspection. Approval brings an ISI mark. For these goods, the Quality Control Order (QCO) 2024 calls BIS certification. Compliance guarantees consumers in India safe, premium appliances and helps to avoid fines.
