Essential equipment present in homes and other settings are household refrigerators. They are intended to give perishable food products, drinks, and other temperature-sensitive goods a regulated, cold storage environment.
Their features and designs have changed throughout time to accommodate consumers' shifting demands and tastes while also taking energy efficiency and the environment's effect into account.
The required ISI Certification Scheme under IS standard - IS 17550 (Part-1):2021 includes all general criteria for characteristics and test procedures of household refrigerating equipment.
The first portion of the standard describes the basic characteristics of residential refrigerators, regardless of whether they are completely built in the factory or have extra functions like freezers, ice makers, or sections for storing frozen food. It also describes the testing procedures used to evaluate these characteristics.
It is important for household refrigerators to be built with durability and functionality in mind, even after years of usage. A battery of relevant tests is employed to measure their effectiveness in practical applications. Manufacturers must adhere to this standard in order to satisfy quality and safety requirements and offer dependable, effective appliances to consumers.
Without the ISI Mark, this product cannot be marketed, imported, or exported into the Indian consumer market.
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.
