Last updated:

BIS certification is Mandatory for insulating mats for electrical purposes, as mandated by IS 15652:2006. These special mats are designed to provide electrical insulation and ensure safety in environments where individuals may be at risk of electrical shock. Typically made from insulation materials such as rubber or synthetic polymers, they boast high dielectric strength.

Primarily, these mats are used to create a protective barrier on floors in areas prone to electrical shock, such as near high-voltage panels or electrical substations. They provide electrical resistance, grounding workers and protecting them from potential electrical hazards. In addition, insulating mats have anti-slip properties and often display safety standards and voltage class markings.

The use of insulating mats in industries involving electrical maintenance, operations, or high voltage equipment is important for worker safety. Compliance with BIS certification is mandatory to ensure the effectiveness of the mat in providing electrical insulation.

Tests

The following are the major tests for Insulating Mats for Electrical Purposes:

  • Composition
  • Shape
  • Dimensions – Length & Width
  • Thickness
  • Colour
  • Workmanship and finish
  • Tensile Strength and Elongation at Break
  • Insulation Resistance with water
  • Leakage current
  • Ac Di-electric Strength
  • Ac proof voltage
  • Ac proof voltage (routine)
  • Ageing Properties
  • Flame Retardance
  • Low Temperature Resistance

All insulating mats for electrical purposes are part of the mandatory ISI certification scheme under IS 15652:2006. This standard applies to mats made of emulsions, intended for use as floor coverings for the protection of workers in both AC and DC installations with system voltages up to 66 kV AC and 240 V DC. It details product performance, sampling methods, testing procedures 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.

Scope as per Standard The standard is applicable to insulating mats made of Elastomer (a generic term that includes rubbers, latex and elastomeric compounds that may be natural or synthetic or a mixture or a combination of both) for use as floor covering for the protection of workers on ac and dc installations with the system voltages up to 66 kV ac and 240 V dc. It prescribes the requirements for the performance of the product, method of samplings, testing and acceptance. While the human safety is the prime concern while developing this standard, it is clear that final safety of the worker is only obtained by considering also work methods, training of personnel and their safety issues which are not in the scope of this Committee. The spread of the mat to be used for a certain work, the working methods, the care to be taken of the mat during use, periodic checks are some of the elements which will have influence on the final performance of the mat for the intended objective and shall be taken care of by the users.
