BIS CERTIFICATION FOR INSULATING MATS FOR ELECTRICAL PURPOSES IS 15652:2006
BIS certification is compulsory for insulating mats used for electrical purposes, as per the requirements of IS 15652:2006. These specialized mats are crafted to offer electrical insulation, enhancing safety in environments where individuals are vulnerable to electrical shock. Usually composed of insulation materials like rubber or synthetic polymers, they possess high dielectric strength.
Mainly, these mats are employed to establish a protective shield on floors in zones susceptible to electrical shock, such as close to high-voltage panels or electrical substations. They offer electrical resistance, grounding workers, and shielding them from potential electrical dangers. Additionally, insulating mats possess anti-slip characteristics and frequently exhibit safety standards and voltage class markings.
Employing insulating mats in industries engaged in electrical maintenance, operations, or high-voltage equipment is crucial for worker safety. Adherence to BIS certification is obligatory to guarantee the mat's efficacy in delivering electrical insulation.

Insulating mats for electrical purposes are essential components of the compulsory ISI certification program under IS 15652:2006. This standard is applicable to mats composed of emulsions and designed as floor coverings to safeguard workers in AC and DC installations with system voltages of up to 66 kV AC and 240 V DC. It comprehensively outlines the standards for product performance, sampling techniques, testing protocols, and acceptance criteria.
When emphasizing human safety, it is important to note that the ultimate safety of workers depends on factors beyond the quality of the mats, such as work methods and personnel training. Elements such as mat spread significantly affect performance during use, maintenance and periodic checks, and users should pay attention to these aspects accordingly.
