BIS Certification for Live Working Gloves of Insulating Material IS 13774:2021

In the field of electrical work, safety cannot be compromised. Recognizing this, the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) has introduced a new standard, IS 13774:2021, specifically for Live Working Gloves of Insulating Material. The purpose of this standard is to maintain high safety standards for persons working with electricity, ensuring their safety.

As per BIS regulations, it is mandatory to obtain BIS certification for Live Working Gloves of Insulating Material under ISI mark IS 13774:2021. This certification serves as a symbol of assurance that these gloves meet stringent safety criteria, ensuring that they are suitable for use in live working environments. Without ISI Mark, live working gloves of insulating material cannot be exported, imported or sold in the Indian consumer market.

IS 13774:2021 covers a wide range of tests to assess the safety and quality of live working gloves. These tests include dimensions, thickness, workmanship, marking, durability of marking, tensile strength, elongation at break, resistance to puncture, stress set, dielectric type test, dielectric routine test, aging test and more. Each test is carefully designed to evaluate the performance of the gloves in a variety of conditions and ensure that they provide adequate protection to the wearer.

The standard also addresses special properties such as leakage current resistance, abrasion resistance, cut resistance, tear resistance, low temperature resistance, flame retardancy, acid resistance, oil resistance, ozone resistance and extremely low temperature resistance. These properties are important to ensure that live working gloves can withstand the challenges posed by different work environments.
