A type of electrochemical cells known as multi-purpose dry batteries is made to supply dependable, portable electricity for a variety of gadgets and uses. Common uses for these batteries include emergency equipment, industrial machinery, and household gadgets. They are an indispensable and adaptable energy source because they come in a variety of sizes and work with a wide range of gadgets.
According to IS standard IS 8144: 2018, it is now required for all Multi-purpose Dry Batteries (Classifications: R03, R6, R14, and R20) to be included in the ISI Certification Scheme.
Without the ISI Mark, this product cannot be marketed, imported, or exported into the Indian consumer market.
The relevant BIS standard, IS 8144: 2018, relates to zinc batteries that are utilized in various applications. R6 dry batteries are frequently found in torches and hearing aids, whereas R14 and R20 are utilized in radio receivers and tape recorders. The standard contains a wealth of information about battery dimensions, testing protocols, and other prerequisites for being granted a BIS ISI certificate. It requires that the battery meet the strict specifications given in the IS standard in terms of structure, materials, and performance.
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.
