The BIS Certification Licence guarantees electrical accessories follow Indian safety and quality criteria. Products like switches, sockets, cables, and plugs call for BIS certification under either Compulsory Registration Scheme (CRS) or ISI Mark (Scheme-I). Important Indian Standards (IS Codes) consist in IS 1293 (plugs & sockets), IS 694 (PVC cables), IS 3854 (switches), and IS 7098 (power cables). Applications are submitted, products tested in a BIS-approved lab, factories are inspected, and compliance is verified. Manufacturers are free to use the BIS Standard Mark once certified. Regular audits and renewals guarantee ongoing BIS rule compliance for electrical accessories used in India.
