BIS CERTIFICATION FOR BOXES AND ENCLOSURES FOR ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIES FOR HOUSEHOLD AND SIMILAR FIXED ELECTRICAL INSTALLATIONS IS 14772:2020
In compliance with IS 14772:2020, BIS certification becomes obligatory for Boxes and Enclosures utilized for Electrical Accessories within Household and Similar Fixed Electrical Installations. These specialized structures safeguard electrical components within residential environments, ensuring their organization and security. Whether crafted from plastic, metal, or alternative materials, these enclosures play a crucial role in maintaining safety, regulatory adherence, and optimal performance of home electrical systems. They greatly contribute to the organization, safety, and management of electrical installations, facilitating the protection and management of components like junctions, outlets, and switches.
The ISI mark, representing strict adherence to quality and safety standards, acts as a hallmark for these boxes and enclosures, signifying conformity with regulations and ensuring their reliability and performance. This standard pertains to electrical boxes, enclosures, and their components with a rated voltage of up to 440 V AC, intended for domestic or similar stationary electrical installations, whether indoors or outdoors. Integrated or built-in connecting devices typically feature rated voltages of 250 V and 400 V AC, with standard rated connecting capacities ranging from 0.5 mm² to 35 mm².
