If your business manufactures or imports electric fence energizers, you must comply with the IS 302-2-76:1999 standard. Without this certification you cannot legally sell or distribute electric fence energizers in India
This blog explains the meaning of IS 302-2-76:1999, the BIS certification process for electric fence energizers, mandatory rules, required documents, testing stages, and how to stay compliant. If you are a manufacturer, importer or distributor. This article offers the full breakdown in a simple and structured way.
IS 302-2-76:1999 is a specific safety standard for electric fence energizers which are devices used to power fences with high-voltage pulses. These energizers are designed to control animals or enhance perimeter security. However they deal with electricity so their construction and performance must meet strict safety guidelines
This standard falls under Part 2 Section 76 of the broader IS 302 series which handles electrical safety requirements for various appliances. IS 302-2-76 ensures that these devices do not cause electric shock, fire or interference with other devices
To comply with Indian law all electric fence energizers must meet this standard and carry the ISI Mark
Yes As per the Quality Control Order (QCO) notified by the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) it is now compulsory for all electric fence energizers to be BIS-certified under IS 302-2-76:1999
This applies to both:
Indian manufacturers
Foreign manufacturers (selling through Indian importers)
Without the ISI mark on your product the product becomes illegal for sale in India and can be seized by authorities

Let’s look at the actual certification process required to obtain the ISI mark under IS 302-2-76:
If you're a manufacturer you must apply directly. The certification is granted only to manufacturers not to traders, wholesalers or dealers.
Electric fence energizers fall under the Scheme-I (ISI Mark Scheme) of BIS. That means you must apply for a Product Certification License
The applicant must gather and submit the following:
After application, the BIS will ask you to submit samples to a lab approved by BIS. The lab will conduct testing based on IS 302-2-76 requirements such as:
Only if the product passes all tests will BIS approve your application.
Before the license is granted a BIS officer will visit your manufacturing unit (or your foreign factory if you are outside India). The audit verifies:
If your unit passes the inspection and your product clears lab tests BIS grants you a Product Certification License. This allows you to:
The license is valid for one year.

Your product will be tested under several critical performance and safety parameters. These include:
| Parameter | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Output energy rating | Ensures no excess shock |
| Electric pulse timing | Keeps gaps between pulses safe |
| Battery input tests | Checks for stable energy flow |
| Thermal and spark protection | Avoids overheating or fire risk |
| Safety isolation from the fence | Prevents ground current leakage |
| Labeling and marking compliance | Ensures correct product info display |
The test items must match the IS 302-2-76 specifications.
If a manufacturer sells or supplies electric fence energizers without BIS certification, the following penalties can apply:
| Stage | Estimated Time | Estimated Cost (INR) |
|---|---|---|
| Documentation & Filing | 1 week | ₹10,000 – ₹25,000 |
| Lab Testing | 2–4 weeks | ₹30,000 – ₹80,000 |
| Factory Audit | 1 week | ₹15,000 – ₹50,000 |
| BIS License Fee | 1 year | ₹25,000 – ₹40,000 |
| Renewal (Yearly) | Ongoing | ₹20,000+ |
BIS certification is highly technical. It involves precise testing, inspections, documents and audits. Even a single small error can lead to delays or rejection
