With this meter installed, the consumer can\nascertain the amount of energy used by a household in a given timeframe.\nElectric power distribution companies install watt-hour meters at households to\ndetermine electrical usage for billing purposes. When a given billing period nears\nits end, the staff member from the power company visits households to note down\nthe meter\u2019s reading in the Kilowatt-hour (kWh). Companies intending to produce\nsuch meters must apply for BIS registration beforehand. This is a mandatory\nrequirement.

No other meters are covered under this standard that falls outside what is mentioned. The standard also applies to meters\u2019 parts and accessories such as current transformers. Products like Maximum Demand Indicators (MDI) fall outside the scope of this standard. The Indian Standard &#8211; IS 8530 covers such products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This standard covers multi-rate meters but does not encompass other meter types used for testing purposes falling under the Indian Standard called IS 11426.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meters are categorized depending on their respective class indices like 0.5, 1, or 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The meter\u2019s construction, design, and workability should not pose any risk to the end users. The meter should adhere to sufficient mechanical strength and cope with temperature variances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All these guidelines serve as a base for the BIS certification for AC Watt-hour meters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tests_concerning_BIS_certification_for_AC_Watt-hour_meters\"><\/span>Tests concerning BIS certification for AC Watt-hour meters<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To qualify for BIS certification, the manufacturers must test their product(s) for performance and quality via a certified lab.

Before you upload these documents\nonline, make sure they are correct and free from inaccuracies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong><em>Step 3: Conduct Product Testing<\/em><\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Subjecting product(s) to\nmandatory tests is what happens in this step. For this purpose, the applicant\nneeds to visit the certified lab to get their product(s) certified for intended\nquality and performance. The timeline and cost of testing shall vary product-wise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong><em>Step 4: Submit the Application<\/em><\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>After getting the product\ncertified for quality, it\u2019s time to file an online application with the BIS. To\ndo so, visit the BIS web portal and fill out the e-form concerning the ISI\nmarking scheme. During filing, you will be prompted to include various details\nsuch as plant address, product detail, testing information, and so on. Make\nsure the information provided is authentic or else your request for certification\nmay be cancelled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Step 5: Application vetting and grant of certification<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As soon as your\napplication reaches the authority, the vetting process will be initiated under\nwhich officials will perform a thorough evaluation of paperwork and production\npremises. Any error or non-compliance detected in the document shall be shared\nwith the applicant for timely correction. Likewise, if the authority fails to\ndetect any loophole from the compliance standpoint, the certification will be\naccorded to the applicant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To sum up, obtaining <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/corpbiz.io\/bis-registration\">BIS certification<\/a><\/strong> for AC Watt-hour meters is not only mandatory but also important for fostering consumer trust.
