BIS Certification Consultancy for Domestic Gas Stoves for Use with PNG | IS 17153:2019

Introduction

Domestic gas stoves designed for use with Piped Natural Gas (PNG) are commonly used in residential kitchens and are required to meet important requirements relating to safety, gas consumption, combustion, thermal efficiency, flame stability and other performance characteristics.

IS 17153:2019 specifies requirements for Domestic Gas Stoves for Use with Piped Natural Gas (PNG). BIS has a product-specific manual for this standard, and certification is operated under Scheme-I of the BIS Conformity Assessment Regulations, 2018.

The Domestic Gas Stoves for Use with PNG (Quality Control) Order, 2023 requires the covered products to conform to the relevant Indian Standard and bear the BIS Standard Mark under a BIS licence. The QCO was notified on 9 August 2023.

Important current update: IS 17153:2019 has since been revised and published as IS 17153:2025 – Domestic Gas Stove and Built-in Hob for Use with PNG. BIS issued implementation guidelines stating 10 May 2026 as the last date for implementation of the revised standard. Therefore, manufacturers starting a new application now should verify the applicable current standard and transition requirements with BIS rather than relying only on the 2019 version.
