A domestic pressure cooker is a kitchen appliance designed for home use, operating on the principle of cooking food quickly under high pressure. It consists of a pot with a tightly sealed lid that locks in place, creating a closed environment where steam builds up as the liquid inside reaches its boiling point. This trapped steam raises the pressure and temperature, significantly reducing cooking time compared to conventional methods. Domestic pressure cookers are versatile and suitable for preparing a wide range of dishes, from soups and stews to rice and meats, offering convenience and efficiency in the kitchen. Modern models often include safety features like pressure release valves and locking mechanisms to ensure safe usage in home kitchens.
All domestic pressure cookers have been included in the mandatory ISI Certification Scheme under IS standard - IS 2347:2017.
IS 2347:2017 is an Indian Standard that specifies the requirements for domestic pressure cookers. This standard outlines the design, construction, materials, safety features and performance criteria for pressure cookers intended for household use. It sets benchmarks for factors such as capacity, durability, pressure resistance, safety valves and handles, ensuring that domestic pressure cookers manufactured and used in India meet specified quality and safety standards. Adhering to IS 2347:2017 is essential as it ensures that pressure cookers are designed and produced to meet stringent safety and performance parameters, reducing the risks of accidents or malfunctions during cooking. This standard thus helps ensure the safety, durability and quality of domestic pressure cookers available in the Indian market, safeguarding consumers and promoting reliable and safe cooking practices in households.
Note: Foreign manufacturers of domestic pressure cookers must obtain the mandatory BIS Certification to export their products to the Indian market.
The ISI mark certification is significant for foreign manufacturers producing domestic pressure cookers targeted for the Indian market. This certification, issued by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS), signifies compliance with stringent Indian quality and safety standards, notably including IS 2347:2017 for domestic pressure cookers. Acquiring the ISI mark demonstrates compliance with stringent Indian benchmarks, ensuring that the pressure cookers meet prescribed criteria for quality, safety and performance. It instils consumer confidence by indicating adherence to rigorous safety protocols, guaranteeing reliability and durability in household cooking applications. This certification is instrumental for market entry and acceptance in India, serving as a testament to the manufacturer's commitment to delivering pressure cookers that align with the essential safety and quality requisites in the Indian market, ultimately building trust among consumers.
The BIS/ISI Certification is a hallmark of product quality and safety in India, administered by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). Established in 1987, BIS is a statutory body under the Bureau of Indian Standards Act 1986, responsible for setting, maintaining, and ensuring compliance with standards across various sectors. It upholds the legacy of the Indian Standards Institution (ISI), founded in 1947 and introduced the ISI mark as an emblem of quality. BIS continues this legacy by formulating standards and granting BIS/ISI Certification to products that meet the stringent quality and safety criteria defined by the organization. The Bureau of Indian Standards has been operating the Foreign Manufacturers Certification Scheme (FMCS) since 2000, as per Scheme-I of Schedule-II, BIS Act, 2016, and (Conformity Assessment) Regulations, 2018, specifically designed for foreign manufacturers. This scheme empowers international applicants and manufacturers to utilize the ISI Mark for exporting their products in India. The exclusive authority responsible for awarding the BIS Certificate for imports to foreign manufacturers is the Foreign Manufacturers Certification Department (FMCD). The primary objective behind BIS providing Manufacturing Certificates to foreign manufacturers is to ensure that the public in India has access to high-quality, safe, reliable, and risk-free products.
