BIS QCO FOR THE SOLAR DC CABLE (ELECTRIC CABLE FOR PHOTOVOLTAIC SYSTEMS FOR RATED VOLTAGE 1500 V DC)

OVERVIEW

24^th AUGUST 2023

The Ministry of Commerce and Industry, specifically the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade, issued an order on the 24th of August 2023, using the powers granted by the Bureau of Indian Standards Act, 2016. This order, titled the Solar DC Cable and Fire Survival Cable (Quality Control) Order, 2023, becomes effective six months from its publication in the Official Gazette.

BIS QCO for the solar dc cable (electric cable for photovoltaic systems for rated voltage 1500 v dc) mandates that goods listed in the Table must adhere to the corresponding Indian Standard mentioned, displaying the Standard Mark under a license from the Bureau of Indian Standards, as outlined in Scheme-1 of Schedule-II to the Bureau of Indian Standards (Conformity Assessment) Regulations, 2018. It's important to note that this order does not apply to goods produced domestically for export.

The certifying and enforcing authority for the specified goods lies with the Bureau of Indian Standards. According to the BIS QCO for the solar dc cable (electric cable for photovoltaic systems for rated voltage 1500 v dc) anyone violating the provisions of this order is subject to penalties as per the Bureau of Indian Standards Act, 2016. BIS QCO for the solar dc cable (electric cable for photovoltaic systems for rated voltage 1500 v dc) reflects the government's commitment to public interest by ensuring the quality and standards of Solar DC Cable and Fire Survival Cable through a systematic and regulated approach.

(The solar DC cable is an electric cable designed for photovoltaic systems, with a rated voltage of 1500 V DC, facilitating the transmission of direct current in solar power installations.)
