Introduction

Kitchen appliances are one of the most commonly used products in a home. Hence, their safety, quality and performance must be impeccable. To ensure this, the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) has issued a set of standards that kitchen appliance manufacturers must adhere to. As per Annex II of BIS, BIS certification is mandatory for certain kitchen appliances like kettles, ovens, grills, toasters etc. These products are given BIS/ISI certification to ensure their quality and safety for home use.
