BIS CERTIFICATION CONSULTANTS FOR ELECTRIC TOYS

Introduction

Electric toys are toys that use batteries or plugs to make things happen. They can move, make noise, light up, or do other cool things that make playing more fun. These toys run on electricity and are designed to make playtime more exciting for kids.

In accordance with the Toy Quality Control Order issued in 2020, the safety of toys falls under the jurisdiction of the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS).Consequently, toy manufacturers in India are required to obtain BIS certification for their toys before launching them into the market.

This mandatory certification was introduced due to concerns about the materials used in toys potentially becoming toxic. The responsibility for ensuring the safety of toys was transferred to BIS by the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT), Ministry of Commerce. Therefore, if you are a toy manufacturer, it is essential to obtain a BIS certificate for your toys.

The BIS certification for Electronic Toys in India comes under the applicable standard IS 15644:2006. Therefore, the toys that come under this BIS registration for electric toys are electricity dependent and can only perform one function.
