Stationary storage type electric water heaters are essential appliances for providing hot water in residential and commercial settings. These heaters consist of an insulated tank, typically made of steel or glass-lined steel, which stores and heats water to a desired temperature for later use. Inside the tank, one or more heating elements, powered by electricity, raise the temperature of the water to the desired level, controlled by a thermostat. Stationary storage type electric water heaters are available in various capacities to suit different hot water demands, ranging from small units for individual households to large units for commercial or industrial applications. They offer convenience, reliability, and efficiency in providing a steady supply of hot water for bathing, washing, cooking, and other daily activities. Their safety features such as pressure relief valves and temperature limiting devices are incorporated to ensure safe operation and prevent overheating. These water heaters are typically installed in utility rooms, basements, or other designated spaces, providing a constant and readily available source of hot water for users.
IS 2082:2018 is an essential standard in regulating the quality, safety, and efficiency of stationary storage-type electric water heaters, crucial appliances used for providing hot water in residential and commercial settings. This standard serves as a vital guideline for manufacturers, outlining specific requirements for design, construction, performance, and testing of these water heaters. Adhering to IS 2082:2018 ensures that manufacturers produce appliances meeting rigorous quality standards, ensuring their reliability, durability, and energy efficiency. Compliance with this standard not only guarantees the safe operation of stationary storage-type electric water heaters but also promotes energy conservation and environmental sustainability by regulating factors such as insulation efficiency and heat retention.
Note: Obtaining the ISI/BIS Certification is a mandatory requirement for manufacturers of stationary storage type electric water heaters to sell their products in the Indian market.
Manufacturers must obtain ISI/BIS certification for their Stationary Storage Type Electric Water Heaters to legally sell these products in the Indian market. This certification, mandated by Indian regulations, ensures compliance with specific quality and safety standards established by the BIS for the production and distribution of electric water heaters designed for stationary storage. Without this certification, manufacturers face legal consequences and obstacles in accessing the Indian market. Obtaining ISI/BIS certification is not only a regulatory requirement but also a crucial step for manufacturers to demonstrate the reliability, efficiency, and safety of their stationary storage type electric water heaters. This certification process underscores the importance of ensuring the integrity and performance of appliances, instilling confidence among consumers and stakeholders in the electrical appliance industry regarding its compliance with Indian standards for usage and distribution.
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
