BIS Certification Consultancy for Safety of Electric Toys | IS 15644:2006 | BIS & ISI Mark Certification

Introduction

Electric toys are toys in which at least one function depends on electricity. They may operate using batteries, rechargeable batteries or other electrical power arrangements, and can include a wide variety of products such as electrically operated toy vehicles, constructional sets, experimental sets, functional toys, video toys and toys containing electrical functions.

Because children may directly interact with these products, electrical safety is especially important. Risks can include electric shock, overheating, fire, mechanical hazards, moisture-related problems, damaged cords, excessive temperatures and other safety concerns.

In India, IS 15644:2006 – Safety of Electric Toys specifies safety requirements for toys having at least one function dependent on electricity. The standard is based on IEC 62115:2003. BIS's official material explains that electric toys must also meet the applicable requirements of IS 9873, because IS 9873 addresses hazards other than those arising from the use of electricity.

Electric Toys are covered under the Toys (Quality Control) Order, 2020, with subsequent amendments. BIS's current Scheme-I listing continues to identify IS 15644:2006 – Safety of Electric Toys under the compulsory certification framework.

Qualitance India provides end-to-end BIS Certification Consultancy for Electric Toys as per IS 15644:2006, including product classification, grouping guidance, documentation, laboratory testing coordination, BIS application support and factory inspection preparation.

What is IS 15644:2006?

IS 15644:2006 is titled:

“Safety of Electric Toys”

The standard deals with the safety of toys that have at least one function dependent on electricity. The BIS preview states that the scope includes constructional sets, experimental sets, functional toys and video toys, as well as toys using electricity for secondary functions.

The standard covers important electrical and related safety requirements including:

Power input
Heating and abnormal operation
Electrical strength at operating temperature
Moisture resistance
Resistance to humidity
Electric strength at room temperature
Mechanical strength
Construction
Protection of cords and wires
Components
Screws and connections
Clearance and creepage distances
Resistance to heat and fire
Radiation, toxicity and similar hazards
Marking and instructions

The current BIS LIMS database lists these test areas for IS 15644:2006.

What are Electric Toys?

Electric toys are toys that contain an electrical function. Electricity may be supplied through:

Non-rechargeable batteries
Rechargeable batteries
A transformer connected to the mains
Other permitted electrical arrangements

The official BIS scope specifically notes that examples include constructional sets, experimental sets, functional toys and video toys. Toys using electricity only for a secondary function can also fall within the standard.

Examples can include:

Battery-operated toy cars
Electric ride-on toys
Electronic educational toys
Toy construction sets
Electronic game toys
Toy instruments
Toys with lights or sound
Toys with electrically operated movement
Interactive electronic toys
Certain video toys

The applicability of IS 15644:2006 depends on the actual design and electrical function of the toy.

Scope of IS 15644:2006

The scope of the standard is broad because it applies to toys having at least one function dependent on electricity.

The standard also covers toys where electricity is only a secondary function. An official BIS example is a doll's house containing an interior lamp.

The BIS scope document also states that:

Transformers for toys are not themselves considered toys.
Battery chargers are not considered toys merely because they are supplied with a toy.
Certain products specifically excluded from the standard include toy steam engines, scale models for adult collectors, sports equipment, certain aquatic equipment, collectively used playground equipment, amusement machines, professional toys installed in public places, certain teaching-context heating products, portable child-appealing luminaires and Christmas decorations.

Manufacturers should therefore determine applicability from the actual product design rather than relying only on the product's marketing name.

Important Electrical Safety Requirement

The BIS product information for IS 15644:2006 states that the working voltage between any two accessible parts of the toy shall not exceed 24 V when the toy is supplied at its rated voltage.

This is an important design consideration for manufacturers because accessible conductive parts and electrical architecture need to be evaluated accordingly.

Is BIS Certification Mandatory for Electric Toys?

Yes. BIS certification is mandatory for Electric Toys covered under the applicable Toys Quality Control framework.

BIS's current compulsory-certification page lists:

IS 15644:2006 – Safety of Electric Toys

under Electric Toys, with the Toys (Quality Control) Order, 2020 and subsequent amendments. The current BIS listing also records the Toys (Quality Control) Amendment Order, 2024 and the Transition Facilitation (Quality Control) Order, 2026.

For manufacturers, compliance therefore involves the BIS certification process and the applicable requirements of IS 15644:2006 together with relevant secondary toy-safety standards.

Toys Quality Control Order

The Toys QCO provides the regulatory framework for compulsory certification of toys.

BIS categorises toys for certification into two primary types:

Toy Category	Primary Standard
Non-Electric Toys	IS 9873 (Part 1):2019
Electric Toys	IS 15644:2006

BIS's official FAQ explains that a manufacturer may apply under one of these primary standards depending on the type of toy. Where both electric and non-electric toy licences are required, separate applications are required.

The official FAQ also explains that samples are tested against the primary standard and applicable secondary standards such as relevant parts of IS 9873.

BIS Certification for Electric Toys

BIS Certification confirms that the electric toy has been assessed against the applicable BIS safety requirements.

The certification process for electric toys is more than simply checking electrical components. Depending on the toy, the applicable conformity assessment can also involve relevant requirements under the IS 9873 series, because toy safety includes mechanical, physical, chemical and other hazards. BIS explicitly states that electric toys must also comply with IS 9873-1 and other applicable secondary standards.

After the BIS licence is granted, the manufacturer can use the BIS Standard Mark / ISI Mark according to the applicable licence and regulatory requirements.

Who Needs BIS Certification for Electric Toys?

BIS certification is relevant to manufacturers producing electric toys covered by IS 15644:2006.

This can include:

Electric Toy Manufacturers

For an electric toy, IS 15644:2006 is the primary standard.

Applicable secondary toy standards under the IS 9873 series also need to be identified according to the toy's characteristics. BIS's official FAQ confirms that samples are assessed against the primary and applicable secondary standards.

Step 3 – Product Grouping

Toy manufacturers commonly produce many models and SKUs. BIS has grouping provisions so that representative models can be tested instead of testing every individual model.

The BIS FAQ explains that toys of similar design, made from the same materials and falling under a single sub-category can be treated as a series, with a representative model tested for that series.

Step 4 – Documentation Preparation

Technical, manufacturing and quality-control documents are prepared.

Step 5 – Sample Preparation

The current BIS toy Product Manual specifies a sample quantity of approximately 3–10 pieces, depending on the product and the quantity needed to complete testing.

The exact sample requirement should be confirmed for the particular toy series and applicable test programme before submission.

Step 6 – Laboratory Testing

Representative samples are tested against IS 15644:2006 and applicable secondary toy standards.

Step 7 – BIS Application

The manufacturer submits the BIS application with the required technical and factory information.

Step 8 – Factory Assessment

BIS assesses the manufacturing facility, testing arrangements, quality-control system and documentation.

Step 9 – Observation Closure

Any observations or non-conformities are addressed through corrective action.

Step 10 – BIS Licence Grant

After successful conformity assessment, BIS grants the licence for the approved toy scope.

Step 11 – ISI Marking

The manufacturer can mark products covered by the licence according to applicable BIS requirements.

Testing Requirements for Electric Toys

Testing is one of the most important stages of electric-toy certification.

The current BIS LIMS database identifies testing for IS 15644:2006 across several safety areas.

Conclusion

IS 15644:2006 – Safety of Electric Toys is the primary Indian Standard for toys having at least one function dependent on electricity. The standard addresses important safety areas including power input, heating and abnormal operation, electrical strength, moisture resistance, mechanical strength, construction, protection of cords and wires, components, clearance and creepage distances, resistance to heat and fire, radiation, toxicity and similar hazards.

For BIS certification, electric toys are treated separately from non-electric toys, with IS 15644:2006 serving as the primary standard. BIS also makes clear that applicable secondary standards from the IS 9873 series may need to be considered because toy safety involves hazards beyond electrical safety.

Manufacturers should therefore carefully assess the toy's electrical function, age category, design, materials, product series, applicable IS 9873 requirements, testing facilities and documentation before filing a BIS application.

BIS's grouping system is particularly useful for toy manufacturers producing multiple models and SKUs because qualifying models of similar design, material and sub-category can be organised into series and tested through representative samples.

The current BIS laboratory database also confirms that testing facilities and charges are available for IS 15644:2006 across multiple laboratories, with charges varying according to the laboratory and testing scope.

Qualitance India provides end-to-end BIS Certification Consultancy for Safety of Electric Toys as per IS 15644:2006, including product assessment, primary and secondary standard identification, toy-series grouping, documentation, laboratory testing coordination, BIS application support and factory inspection preparation.
