In today's competitive landscape, maintaining market presence without a certified, high-quality product can be challenging.

To achieve BIS certification and ensure product quality, manufacturers must adhere to the specified Indian standards.

Let's delve deeper into IS 302 (Part 2/Sec 3):2007 for electric iron.

IS 302 (Part 2/Sec 3) covers electric iron. The Bureau of Indian Standards adopted this Indian Standard (Part 2/Sec 3) (First Revision) after the Electrotechnical Division Council approved the draft finalized by the Electrical Appliances Sectional Committee. This standard specifies the electric iron's safety requirements.

This standard outlines safety requirements for electric dry irons and steam irons intended for domestic and similar use, including models with a separate water reservoir or boiler capacity of up to 5 liters and rated voltages not exceeding 250 V.

This standard is relevant to appliances designed for uses beyond typical household settings but still carry potential risks to the general public, including those utilized by laymen in shops, light industries, and agricultural environments.

IS 302-2-3:2007 addresses the safety aspects of the following primary categories of electric irons:

Dry Iron - Cordless
Dry Iron - With Cord
Vented Steam Iron - Cordless
Vented Steam Iron - With Cord
Pressurized Steam Iron - Cordless
