IS 3854:2023 is India’s national standard (by BIS) for domestic and similar-purpose switches. It applies to manual AC switches (up to 250V, 20A) used in homes, commercial or light industrial settings to control lighting/appliances. Its main goal is to set uniform safety and performance benchmarks, mitigating risks like electric shock or fire, and ensuring reliable operation in Indian usage environments.
The standard specifies critical mandates: mechanical durability (minimum operational cycles), electrical safety (insulation resistance, dielectric strength, anti-shock protection), thermal limits (temperature rise control), flame-retardant housing materials, and clear marking (ratings, BIS certification). Compliance is mandatory for market access in India, guaranteeing manufacturers meet national quality norms and end-users use safe, certified products.
