The\nindoor unit cools the air, while the outdoor unit is equipped with a compressor\nand other components. The demand for split air conditioners in India is on the\nrise due to rising temperatures, soaring disposable income, and a growing\nmiddle class. A report by Research andMarkets shows that the AC market will\ngrow at a CAGR of 13.7% between 2020-2025, with split air conditioners topping\nthe sales chart. This growth is attributed to increasing urbanization, rising\ntemperatures, and the availability of energy-efficient models. The makers of\nSplit Air conditioners must have BIS certification to legally Air Conditioners.\nRead on to find out how to secure BIS certification for Split Air Conditioners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_82_2 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title ez-toc-toggle\" style=\"cursor:pointer\">Page Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 eztoc-toggle-hide-by-default' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/corpbiz.io\/learning\/bis-certification-for-split-air-conditioners-an-detailed-overview\/#An_Outlook_of_IS_1391Part_2_2018_%E2%80%93_An_Indian_Standard_for_Split_AC\" >An Outlook of IS 1391(Part 2):2018 &#8211;\nAn Indian Standard for Split AC<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/corpbiz.io\/learning\/bis-certification-for-split-air-conditioners-an-detailed-overview\/#Mandatory_Tests_Concerning_BIS_Certification_for_split_air_conditioners\" >Mandatory\nTests Concerning BIS Certification for split air conditioners<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/corpbiz.io\/learning\/bis-certification-for-split-air-conditioners-an-detailed-overview\/#What_are_the_labelling_norms_under_BIS_certification_for_Split_Air_Conditioners\" >What are the labelling norms under\nBIS certification for Split Air Conditioners?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/corpbiz.io\/learning\/bis-certification-for-split-air-conditioners-an-detailed-overview\/#Documents_concerning_BIS_certification_for_Split_Air_Conditioners\" >Documents concerning BIS\ncertification for Split Air Conditioners<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/corpbiz.io\/learning\/bis-certification-for-split-air-conditioners-an-detailed-overview\/#How_to_apply_for_BIS_certification_for_Split_Air_Conditioners\" >How to apply for BIS certification\nfor Split Air Conditioners?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/corpbiz.io\/learning\/bis-certification-for-split-air-conditioners-an-detailed-overview\/#Conclusion\" >Conclusion<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"An_Outlook_of_IS_1391Part_2_2018_%E2%80%93_An_Indian_Standard_for_Split_AC\"><\/span>An Outlook of IS 1391(Part 2):2018 &#8211;\nAn Indian Standard for Split AC<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>IS 1391(Part 2):2018 covers split air conditioners.
