BIS Certification for Slicing Machines | IS 302 (Part 1):2024 | IEC 60335-1:2020

Introduction

BIS Certification for Slicing Machines in India

Slicing Machines are electrically operated appliances or machines used for slicing or cutting materials according to their intended application. These machines may be used in commercial establishments, food processing environments, professional kitchens, industrial applications or other similar purposes, depending on their design and construction.

As electrical safety and product conformity requirements in India continue to evolve, manufacturers, importers, foreign manufacturers, OEMs, ODMs and brand owners dealing with applicable Slicing Machines should understand the relevant BIS certification requirements before manufacturing, importing or marketing their products in India.

The Safety of Household, Commercial and Similar Electrical Appliances (Quality Control) Order, 2026 includes Slicing Machines in its illustrative list associated with IS 302 (Part 1):2024 | IEC 60335-1:2020. The QCO provides different implementation dates depending on the category of enterprise.

Qualitance India provides professional BIS Certification Consultancy for Slicing Machines, helping businesses understand applicable requirements, identify the relevant standards, coordinate product testing, prepare documentation, support BIS application procedures and prepare for applicable factory assessment.

11. About the Product

What are Slicing Machines?

Slicing Machines are machines or appliances designed to cut materials into slices of specific thickness or dimensions.

Depending on their application, Slicing Machines may include:

Food Slicing Machines
Meat Slicing Machines
Vegetable Slicing Machines
Commercial Slicing Machines
Electric Slicing Machines
Motor-operated Slicing Machines
Electrically operated cutting and slicing appliances
Other similar electrically powered slicing equipment

The exact classification of a product depends on its construction, electrical characteristics, intended use and applicable regulatory requirements.

12. What is BIS Certification?

BIS Certification is a conformity assessment mechanism administered by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS).

It provides a framework for demonstrating that applicable products conform to the relevant Indian Standard and applicable BIS certification requirements.

For applicable electrical appliances, the certification process may involve:

Product applicability assessment
Identification of applicable Indian Standard
Product testing
Technical documentation
BIS application
Factory inspection or assessment, where applicable
BIS scrutiny
Compliance with applicable requirements
Grant of BIS Licence
Authorization to use the ISI Mark, where applicable

BIS certification requirements are product-specific. Therefore, businesses should confirm the exact certification route before beginning the process.

13. Scope of IS 302 (Part 1):2024

IS 302 (Part 1):2024 | IEC 60335-1:2020

IS 302 (Part 1):2024 covers general safety requirements for household and similar electrical appliances and is identified by BIS with IEC 60335-1:2020 under the relevant framework.

The general safety requirements may address areas including:

Electrical insulation
Leakage current
Electric strength
Temperature rise
Mechanical hazards
Abnormal operation
Moisture resistance
Mechanical strength
Construction
Internal wiring
Components
Supply connections
Marking
Instructions
Protection against fire
Protection against overheating

For specific products, applicable product-specific requirements under the relevant Part 2 standard may also need to be evaluated along with Part 1.

Therefore, the exact standard applicability should always be confirmed according to the product's technical characteristics and the latest BIS regulatory requirements.

14. Products Covered / Applicability Assessment

The applicability assessment may cover products such as:

Electric Slicing Machines
Commercial Electric Slicing Machines
Food Slicing Machines
