Clinical thermometers, especially the solid stem type, are
essential medical instruments used for precise body temperature measurement.
The IS 3055 (Part 1) standard sets quality and safety guidelines for these
thermometers, ensuring they are accurate, durable, and suitable for healthcare
settings. BIS certification under this standard confirms that clinical
thermometers meet rigorous quality benchmarks for medical use.
Introduction
Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) certification under IS
3055 (Part 1) is mandatory for manufacturers of clinical thermometers to ensure
compliance with national standards. The ISI mark on these thermometers
signifies adherence to essential safety and quality requirements, ensuring
reliable performance for users.
Why is BIS Certification Necessary for Clinical
Thermometers?
Given the critical nature of medical diagnosis, clinical
thermometers must meet strict safety and accuracy standards to ensure
reliability. BIS certification confirms that thermometers comply with IS 3055
(Part 1) standards, offering users peace of mind regarding the thermometer’s
quality and performance.
