The thermoplastic sheath provides an additional layer of protection, ensuring the durability and longevity of the cables. BIS certification under this standard assures that these cables meet the highest performance criteria, offering safe and reliable power transmission for industrial, commercial, and utility-scale electrical installations. 

Introduction

BIS certification for Crosslinked Polyethylene Insulated Thermoplastic Sheathed Cables under IS 7098 (Part 2) : 2011 is essential for cables used in medium to high voltage electrical systems. This standard defines the specifications required for cables with working voltages from 3.3 kV to 33 kV, ensuring that they meet safety, quality, and performance standards necessary for use in power distribution and transmission applications. The certification process confirms that the cables are manufactured in compliance with Indian regulatory requirements, ensuring their reliability and safety in demanding electrical installations.

Why is BIS Certification Necessary for Crosslinked Polyethylene Insulated Thermoplastic Sheathed Cables?

BIS certification for Crosslinked Polyethylene Insulated Thermoplastic Sheathed Cables is critical to ensure that the cables meet stringent safety, quality, and performance standards. These cables are used for power transmission and distribution, requiring high-quality insulation and mechanical strength to prevent electrical faults and to provide long-term reliability. The IS 7098 (Part 2) : 2011 standard ensures that the cables are capable of handling the challenges posed by medium and high voltage electrical systems, including exposure to environmental conditions and mechanical stress. Certification guarantees that the cables will perform safely and reliably, offering peace of mind to manufacturers, installers, and end-users.

Overview of Indian Standard IS 7098 (Part 2): 2011

Indian Standard IS 7098 (Part 2) : 2011 specifies the requirements for Crosslinked Polyethylene Insulated Thermoplastic Sheathed Cables for voltages from 3.3 kV to 33 kV. The standard covers material specifications, including high-strength XLPE insulation for dielectric strength and resistance to heat, moisture, and chemicals. It defines electrical characteristics to ensure safe handling of medium to high-voltage applications. The cables must withstand environmental stresses such as bending and abrasion without performance degradation. Safety standards focus on fire resistance and temperature tolerance, while testing ensures insulation integrity and mechanical durability. Compliance with IS 7098 (Part 2) ensures reliable, safe power transmission in electrical systems.

Process for BIS Certification

The BIS certification process for Crosslinked Polyethylene Insulated Thermoplastic Sheathed Cables under IS 7098 (Part 2) : 2011 involves several key steps:

1. Application Submission: Manufacturers must submit a detailed application along with required documentation to BIS.
2. Documentation Review: BIS reviews the application, ensuring that all necessary information is provided and accurate.
3. Factory Inspection: BIS conducts an on-site inspection of the manufacturing facility to assess the production processes and ensure adherence to quality control standards.
4. Sample Testing: Product samples are taken and tested in BIS-approved laboratories to verify compliance with IS 7098 (Part 2) : 2011.
5. Certification Grant: Once the tests are successfully completed and the inspection is passed, BIS grants certification, allowing the manufacturer to use the ISI mark on the cables.
