ISI / BIS Certification for Domestic Electric Food Mixer (Liquidizers and Grinders) and Centrifugal Juicer

A household electric food mixer is a multipurpose kitchen tool made to make a variety of food preparation chores easier and more efficient. It is a vital tool for both home and professional cooks as it combines the features of a conventional food mixer with the adaptability of blending and grinding. 

A centrifuge, a metal blade that spins quickly, is used in centrifugal juicers to extract juice from fruits and vegetables while separating the juice from the pulp. Making fresh, nutrient-rich juices at home is made quick and easy with this kind of juicer.

Centrifugal juicers and household electric food mixers are useful kitchen tools with different functions. Food mixers encourage homemade cooking by making mixing and kneading operations easier and providing time-saving flexibility. Conversely, centrifugal juicers make it possible to prepare fresh juice, which via tailored nutrition promotes health and wellness. Both equipment provide a variety of culinary requirements and nutritional preferences, adding to a well-rounded and effective kitchen. 

Under IS standard IS 4250:1980, all residential electric food mixers (liquidizers, grinders, and juicers) and centrifugal juicers are now required to be part of the ISI Certification Scheme.

The manufacturing, chemical, and physical requirements as well as the testing protocols for centrifugal juicers and home electric food mixers (such as liquidizers and grinders) are described in this standard.

Without the ISI Mark, this product cannot be marketed, imported, or exported into the Indian consumer market.

About ISI / BIS Certification

Indian Standards Institute, or ISI was renamed the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) in 1987. The official mark that the Bureau of Indian Standards provides for manufacturers of various goods is the ISI Mark. It is used to indicate compliance with Indian standards (IS) set by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) and has been used as a conformity marking for industrial products. Manufacturers received permission from BIS to use the ISI Mark on items that comply with relevant Indian requirements through the product certification program. 

Only manufacturers (domestic or foreign) who produce the finished product will be awarded ISI Certification. This will not be given to any product importers, traders, dealers, or distributors.

Process of ISI / BIS Certification

There are two approaches for Indian manufacturers to become certified with the ISI Mark:

• Regular Procedure
• Simplified Procedure 

Regular Procedure

With the possible exception of cases deemed "All India first," which might take up to 180 days, the licensing procedure is expected to be finished in 120 days. This timeline starts on the day the application is received, assuming that at different points in time the documentation, unit assessment, and product conformance are all deemed acceptable.

Step 1: Manufacturing Unit Customization in Compliance with Applicable Indian Standards

• Identifying the applicable Indian Standard
• Establishing in-house testing facilities as per the Standard's requirements

Step 2: Submission of the Application Form

• Preparing an Internal Test Report for the product by the relevant Indian Standard
• Compiling all necessary documents
• Completing the Online Application Form
• Online payment of application fees directly to BIS
• Submitting hard copies of the Application Form with all enclosures to the relevant Branch Office (BO) of BIS

Simplified Procedure

This is a much faster process than the standard procedure. After a factory inspection is deemed satisfactory and the initial evaluation establishes that the sample complies with the applicable Indian Standard(s), the license application process is expected to be finished in 30 days.

Step 1: Adapting the Manufacturing Unit to Comply with the Relevant Indian Standard

• Identifying the applicable Indian Standard
• Establishing in-house testing facilities to meet the Standard's requirements

Step 2: Sample Testing

• Obtaining the necessary certificate for raw materials (Material Test Certificate - MTC)
