This mandate is a necessity because of the\nnature of the product, which is easy replaceability, may be prone to electric\nshocks, resistance to insulation, the capacity of the electric strength, the\ncapacity of mechanical strength, cap of the temperature rise, heat resistance,\nflammability, ignition resistance, faulty conditions, distance in creepage and\nclearances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is very common to use LED Lights on large scales, such as\nin garages, pavements, streetlights, etc., due to their High Energy Efficiency.\nWhen used on a larger scale, LED Drivers used for LED Lights can be harmful to\nthe consumers if there is even a slight error in manufacturing. For the\nprevention of such hazards, BIS has set several parameters which the\nmanufacturer, trader, or distributor needs to meet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Applicability_of_BIS_Standards_for_LED_Driver\"><\/span>Applicability of BIS Standards for LED Driver<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Bureau of Indian Standards or BIS is a National Standard\nBody registered under the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) Act, 2016.
