I S S U E N O 1

Foreword

The Indian Standard on Domestic Pressure Cookers, IS 2347 was adopted by the

Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft finalized by the Utensils, Cutlery and Domestic

Hardware Sectional Committee had been approved by the Mechanical Engineering Division

Council.

The standard was first published in 1963 and subsequently revised in 1966, 1974,

1987, 1995 and 2006.

This manual has been prepared in order to lay down general guidelines to harmonize

and streamline the different approaches adopted by the Branch Offices (BO) for Certification

against this Indian Standard. This manual envisages drawing a clear outline for the different

stages of Grant of Licence like the details to be included in the Scope of the licence, the

recommended manufacturing process, sample size for Independent Testing, disposal of

remnants of sample, etc.

Section I: Product Description

1. Description of Product

1.1 Pressure Cooker is a closed domestic pressure cooking vessel for use with external heat

source and capable of maintaining nominal cooking pressure upto 1.0 Kgf/cm2 gauge

nominal.

Pressure cooker, which does not permit air or liquids to escape below a pre-set pressure.

Pressure cookers are used for cooking food quicker than conventional cooking methods,

which also saves energy.

Pressure cookers heat food quickly because the internal steam pressure from the boiling

liquid causes saturated steam (or "wet steam") to bombard and permeate the food. Thus,

higher temperature water vapour (i.e., increased energy), which transfers heat more

rapidly compared to dry air, cooks food very quickly. Pressure Cooker is of two types-

inner lid type and outer lid type. Pressure cooker may also be hard anodized.

ACCORDING TO IS 2347:2006

(Including Amendment No.01) 1. LABORATORY – A laboratory shall be maintained which shall be suitably equipped and

staffed, where different tests given in the specification shall be carried out in accordance with the

methods given in the specification. 1.1 All testing apparatus/measuring instruments shall be periodically checked and calibrated and

records of such checks/calibration shall be maintained.

pump apparatus shall be calibrated at least once in every six months from an approved independent

agency or by manufacturer of such gauges 2. TEST RECORDS - All records of tests and inspection shall be kept in suitable forms approved

by the Bureau. 2.1 Copies of any records and other connected papers that may be required by the Bureau shall be

made available at any time on request. 3. QUALITY CONTROL – It is recommended that, as far as possible, Statistical Quality Control

(SQC) methods may be used for controlling the quality of the product during production as

BUREAU OF INDIAN STANDARDS

CENTRAL MARKS DEPARTMENT-III

Our Ref; CMD-III/16: 2347 11 August 2006

Subject: Grouping of sizes for Domestic Pressure Cookers as per IS 2347 : 2006

IS 2347: 2006 covers Domestic Pressure Cookers of nominal capacities 1 to 22 litres.

For the purpose of grant of licence as well as inclusion of additional varieties in the

existing licence, the following grouping shall be considered and one sample from each

group (preferably the highest nominal capacity) of the same type (inner lid or outer lid

and body material) shall be tested for all the requirements of the IS specification to cover

all the capacities in the group:

Group Nominal Capacity (litres)

1 1 to 6.5

2 7 to 15.5

3 16 to 22

However, while considering grant of licence/inclusion of additional

sizes/varieties, it will be ensured that the applicant/licensee has got the complete

manufacturing and testing facilities for all the nominal capacities and the varieties

intended to be covered.

During operation of the licence, BO will ensure that all the sizes and varieties

covered in the licence are tested in rotation in a period of two years.

This supersedes the guidelines circulated vide note of even no. dated 04 07 2001.
