Notification
Electric Centrifugal Juicers are regulated under the Safety of Household, Commercial and Similar Electrical Appliances (Quality Control) Order, 2026, notified vide S.O. 1739(E) dated 6 April 2026 by the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT), Ministry of Commerce and Industry. This regulatory framework replaces the earlier 2025 order and mandates compliance with IS 302 (Part 1): 2024 for a wide range of electrical appliances, including centrifugal juicers. The order ensures that all such appliances placed in the Indian market meet prescribed safety standards before sale or distribution.
Enforcement Timeline
As per the notified implementation schedule, compliance becomes mandatory from 1 October 2026 for general enterprises, 1 January 2027 for small enterprises, and 1 April 2027 for micro enterprises. This phased enforcement structure provides transitional time for smaller entities to align their manufacturing processes, testing protocols, and certification requirements with BIS standards while ensuring gradual industry-wide compliance.
Overview
Electric centrifugal juicers are high-speed kitchen appliances designed to extract juice using centrifugal force, involving rotating blades and motor-driven mechanisms. Due to their electrical and mechanical nature, they present risks such as electric shock, overheating, blade hazards, and fire. IS 302 (Part 1): 2024 establishes essential safety parameters including insulation, temperature rise limits, mechanical strength, protection against access to moving parts, and safe operation under normal and abnormal conditions. The regulation aims to eliminate unsafe products and standardize safety benchmarks across the industry.
Objective & Scope
The primary objective is to safeguard consumers by ensuring that electric centrifugal juicers meet stringent electrical and mechanical safety requirements. The scope includes manufacture, import, sale, and distribution of such appliances intended for household, commercial, or similar applications within specified voltage limits. The regulation also extends to battery-operated and DC-powered variants, ensuring comprehensive safety coverage across product types.
Products Covered
The scope includes all electric centrifugal juicers used for extracting juice from fruits and vegetables using centrifugal mechanisms. This includes standalone juicers, multifunction kitchen appliances with juicing capability, and both corded and cordless models falling within the voltage parameters defined in the standard.
Exemptions Provided
Limited exemptions are available for products manufactured exclusively for export, R&D imports up to 200 units per year (non-commercial use), and declared pre-implementation stock which may be sold within six months from the enforcement date subject to conditions. Products already covered under other applicable QCOs are excluded from this framework.
Industries Impacted
The regulation impacts manufacturers of kitchen appliances, small appliance brands, OEM and contract manufacturers, importers, distributors, retailers, and e-commerce platforms involved in the sale of electric centrifugal juicers in India. It also affects testing laboratories and certification bodies involved in conformity assessment.
Mandatory Compliance Requirements
Manufacturers and importers must obtain BIS certification under Scheme-I, ensure product testing through BIS-recognised laboratories, comply with factory inspection requirements, and affix the ISI Mark on each certified product. Only compliant products are permitted for sale or distribution in the Indian market after the enforcement dates.+-
Next Steps for Stakeholders
Stakeholders should identify all applicable product models, initiate BIS certification processes, conduct necessary testing, upgrade manufacturing and quality control systems, and align documentation to meet regulatory requirements. Early action is essential to avoid disruption in supply chains and ensure readiness before enforcement deadlines.
Legal Provisions, Enforcement & Penalties
Certification and enforcement are administered by BIS under Sections 16, 17, and 25(3) of the BIS Act, 2016. Non-compliance may result in imprisonment up to two years, monetary penalties starting from ₹2 lakh and extending up to ten times the value of goods, along with additional penalties for continuing violations and possible product recalls.
Conclusion
Compliance with IS 302 (Part 1): 2024 and BIS certification is mandatory for electric centrifugal juicers from the applicable enforcement dates. Businesses that proactively align with the regulatory framework will ensure uninterrupted market access, enhanced consumer trust, and avoidance of legal and financial risks.
