Highlighting IS/IEC 60947: Part 2: 2016, a critical standard under BIS Scheme X that governs low-voltage switchgear and control gear, specifically focusing on circuit breakers.

This standard is essential for ensuring the safety and reliability of electrical systems, as it applies to a wide range of low-voltage circuit breakers designed to protect against faults and overloads.

The products covered under this standard include:

  • Single-Pole Circuit Breakers (≤ 1000 V a.c. or ≤ 1500 V d.c.)
  • Integrally Fused Circuit-Breakers
  • High-voltage a.c. Circuit Breakers (1000 V to 1500 V a.c.)
  • Earth Leakage Circuit-Breakers
  • Electronic Over-Current Protection Circuit-Breakers
  • IT System Circuit-Breakers
  • Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Circuit-Breakers
  • Non-Overcurrent Protection Circuit-Breakers
  • Breaker Auxiliaries with EMC Consideration
  • D.C. Circuit-Breakers for Photovoltaic (PV) Systems, etc.

This standard has been mandatory since 10th November 2024, so any product falling under this category must already be BIS-certified to continue
manufacturing, importing, or selling legally in India.
