Advanced electrical safety devices known as Residual Current Operated Circuit Breakers with Integral Overcurrent Protection (RCVOs) offer complete protection against overcurrents and ground faults in electrical circuits. These gadgets integrate, into a single unit, the functions of overcurrent protection devices (OCPDs) and residual current operated circuit breakers (RCCBs). Their combination of components reduces the possibility of electrical mishaps and equipment damage, improving the safety and dependability of electrical systems.
By connecting these components to an appropriate grounding point, these devices are intended to accomplish two main functions. Firstly, they protect people from unintentional contact with exposed conductive elements in the electrical system. Second, by limiting excessive currents, they safeguard the electrical wiring systems in buildings and other structures. Additionally, they are able to stop the possibility of a fire resulting from an ongoing ground fault current without setting off the overcurrent safety device.
Residual current driven circuit breakers for residential and comparable applications: ISI / BIS Certification - Part 2 Under IS standard IS 12640 (Part 2):2016, circuit breakers with inbuilt over current protection (RCVOs) are now required to be part of the ISI Certification Scheme.
These goods must have the ISI Mark on them in order to be sold, 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.

There are two approaches for Indian manufacturers to become certified with the ISI Mark:
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
Step 2: Submission of the Application Form

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
Step 2: Sample Testing
