BIS Certification for Multipurpose Dry Cell Batteries: A Complete Guide from A2Z BIS Solutions

BIS Certification for Multipurpose Dry Cell Batteries: A Complete Guide from A2Z BIS Solutions Pvt. Ltd.

Imagine this:
You press the power button on your TV remote, and it doesn’t work. You switch out the battery—and voilà! It works. That tiny battery inside is doing a huge job. But do you know that even this small battery must follow strict quality and safety rules in India?

Welcome to the world of BIS certification for dry cell batteries—a must-have for every manufacturer and importer who wants to sell batteries in India. At A2Z BIS Solutions Pvt. Ltd., we help companies get this certification without hassle, so their products can reach Indian markets with full confidence.

Why Certification is Needed: A Quick Legal Background

Back in May 1987, the Indian government released an important order—S.O. 516(E) under the BIS Act. This order made it mandatory for dry batteries sold in India to follow a specific Indian Standard – IS 8144.

So what does this mean?

• You can’t manufacture, store, or sell dry batteries in India without this certification.

• The batteries must carry the ISI mark (the famous Indian Standards logo).

• Exported batteries don’t need this if they meet similar or higher standards.

• Faulty or non-conforming batteries must be thrown away responsibly.

About IS 8144:2018 – The Standard for Dry Batteries

This standard is titled "Multipurpose Dry Batteries — Specification", and it’s the latest revision. It brings Indian rules in line with global standards like IEC 60086.

Here are the battery types it covers:

• R03 (AAA)

• R6 (AA)

• R14 (C)

• R20 (D)

Key Technical Requirements (Don’t worry, we’ll handle these for you!)

• Exact Size and Shape: Every battery must match specific dimensions and tolerances.

• Safe Terminals: They must connect securely when in use.

• Proper Marking: As per IS 6303:2018, with ISI mark, type, and voltage.

• Performance Tests:

  • Initial Life Test

  • Life Test After Storage

  • Leakage Test

  • Dry Heat Test

• Voltage: Standard 1.5V across all types.

• Discharge Performance: Should work well in devices like torches, toys, and remotes.
