FAQ — Electric ceiling fans (IS 374)
1. Does every fan SKU need a separate licence?
Not always — series guidelines may allow grouping, but electrical ratings and construction differences matter. Map SKUs before booking.
2. Is BEE star rating the same as BIS?
No. BEE is energy labelling; BIS is safety/product conformity. Many appliances eventually need both conversations.
3. Can traders apply without a factory?
ISI licences are factory-centric. Traders usually rely on a licensed manufacturer or the correct import/FMCS structure.
4. What fails most often?
Incomplete variety lists, inconsistent nameplates, and plants not ready for in-house checks during inspection.
Disclaimer: Scheme rules, Quality Control Orders, SABER lists and destination regulations change. Confirm the current notification and lab scope for your exact model before booking irreversible tests.
