Introduction

Multipurpose dry batteries, often called dry cell batteries, are like little power packs we use in many things. They work by using chemicals inside to make electricity without any liquid. These batteries are in so many devices we use every day. Inside a multipurpose dry battery, there's a metal case, a part called the anode (usually made of zinc), another part called the cathode (usually made of manganese dioxide), and something called a separator.

All these pieces are put together to make a sealed battery that gives us power. One of the great things about these batteries is that we can use them in any direction, which makes them handy for lots of things like remote controls, flashlights, radios, and cameras. They're known for being reliable, lasting a long time, and keeping a steady amount of power.

Multipurpose dry batteries come in different sizes like AA, AAA, C, D, and 9-volt, and some have more power than others. This means we can use them in all kinds of devices, from small gadgets to big ones. So, these batteries are our go-to power source for many things because they're easy to use, portable, and work in so many devices we use at home and work.

For use in transistor radio receivers, flashlights, and cassette tape recorders. Multipurpose dry batteries are categorized into R03, R6, R14, and R20 based on designations and further classified as 'Standard (S)' or 'High Power (P)'.

This standard pertains to multipurpose dry batteries, specifically Zinc Carbon batteries in various sizes, such as R03, R6, R14, and R20, used for a range of applications. The standard defines tests, dimensions, and requirements for Leclanche type dry batteries with designations: For use in transistor radio receivers, flashlights, and hearing aids.

Benefits of BIS Certification

Getting BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards) registration for your products has some really good advantages:

1.  More Sales: When your products have BIS registration, it means they're likely to be better quality. Customers trust this, so you'll probably sell more.

2.  Saves Money on Quality: Once you get the certification, you don't need to worry about extra quality rules because your products are already known to be good.

3.  Builds Trust and Less Risk: BIS-certified items are real and reliable. They work well and last a long time, so there's less chance of problems or harming the environment.

4.  High-Quality Guaranteed: When a product has a BIS registration number, it's a sign that it's top-quality and trustworthy.

5.  Helps Your Business Grow: BIS certification makes your product's reputation better, which can lead to more growth and getting noticed in the market. It's good for expanding your business.

CONCLUSION

Multipurpose dry batteries have been included in the mandatory ISI Certification Scheme under the IS 8144:2018 standard. Manufacturers cannot import, export, or sell this product in the Indian consumer market without the ISI Mark.
