BIS Certification for Refrigerator: In this competitive scenario, it isn't easy to survive in the market without a standard quality and certified product. The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) is the country's national certification organisation, and it grants manufacturers licences to use the Standard Mark on their goods for sale in India.  

To get BIS certification and produce a standard quality product, the manufacturer must ensure that their product must follow the specified Indian standard. It is mandatory to get BIS Certification for Refrigerators (commonly known as fridge) to use Standard Mark i.e, ISI Mark on them.  

Refrigerators with or without low temperature are covered under IS 17550 (Part 1) : 2021. This standard (Part 1) specifies the essential characteristics of fully factory assembled household refrigerators with or without crisper, ice-making, or frozen food storage compartments, as well as the test methods for determining those characteristics.

The tests described in the Indian Standard are type tests that apply to the Tropical Class (T) appliances. This standard applies to household refrigerating appliances classified as Tropical Class (T) and is intended for use in ambient temperatures from +18°C to +43°C.

Household refrigerators must be built so that they provide adequate performance and durability in use. A series of relevant tests are used to evaluate their performance in use.
