SCHEME OF TESTING AND INSPECTION FOR OUTDOOR TYPE OIL IMMERSED
DISTRIBUTION TRANSFORMERS UP TO AND INCLUDING 2500 KVA, 33kV
AS PER IS 1180 (Part 1):2014
1.0 LABORATORY/TESTING STATION: A laboratory/testing station shall be maintained, which
shall be suitably equipped and staffed, to carry out different tests and inspections according to the
Standard.
1.1 Environmental conditions wherever applicable shall be maintained.
2.0 TEST RECORDS: All records of tests and analysis shall be kept in suitable formats
2.1 Copies of any records or connected papers that may be required by BIS shall be made available at
any time on request.
2.2 For all stages of manufacture, the factory shall maintain appropriate controls and checks to ensure
that their product conforms to the various requirements of the Standard
3.0 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 envisaged
in this Scheme. See IS 397(Part 1), IS397(Part 2), IS 397(Part 3) and IS 397(Part 4)].
3.1 In addition, efforts should be made to gradually introduce Quality Management System in
accordance with IS/ISO 9001.
4.0 CALIBRATION: Testing instruments/equipments shall be carried out periodically from NABL
accredited calibration laboratories wherever they are available in the same city. In case where such
laboratories are not available, traceability to a National Measurement System (NPL) to be ensured.
All records of such calibrations to be kept.
5.0 STANDARD MARK: The standard mark as given in column 1 of the First Schedule of the
license shall be applied clearly and indelibly by stencilling/screen or ink jet
printing/embossing/etching/engraving on the rating plate, provided that the distribution transformers
conform to specified requirements of the Indian Standard.
5.1 RATING PLATE : The rating plate shall be according to Clause 13 of IS 1180(Part 1):2014 and
shall be fitted in a visible position.
5.2 MARKING: In addition, the BIS Certification Mark Licence No. (CM/L XXXXXXX) shall be
clearly and indelibly marked on the rating plate:
5.3 TERMINAL MARKING PLATE: Each transformer to be provided with a terminal marking
plate as per Clause 13.2 of IS 1180 (Part 1):2014
6.0 LEVELS OF CONTROL: The tests, as indicated in Table 1 and at the levels of control specified
therein, shall be carried out on the whole production of the factory which is covered by this Scheme
and appropriate records and charts maintained in accordance with paragraph 2.0 above.
6.1 The criterion of acceptance/rejection of production will be as given below.:

6.1.1 Each transformer when tested shall pass the routine tests. If a transformer fails in any one or
more of the requirements it shall be unfit for the purpose of marking.
6.1.1.1 The transformer rejected in 6.1.1 may however, be suitably repaired and the defects rectified.
Such repaired transformers when tested again shall conform to all the routine tests.
6.2 For the purpose of type tests (Table 1), 50 transformers (of identical design/construction and of
same nominal system voltage and rating) or part there of shall constitute one lot.
6.3 In respect of all other clauses of the Indian Standard, appropriate control and checks to be
maintained in order to ensure that the product conforms to the various requirements of the Indian
Standard.
6.4 All the production which conforms to the Indian Standard and covered by this License shall be
marked with the Standard Mark.
7.0 REJECTION: A separate record shall be maintained giving information relating to the rejection
of products which do not conform to the Indian Standard and the method of their disposal. Such
products shall in no case be stored together with those conforming to the Indian Standard.
8.0 SAMPLES: The licensee shall supply free of charge, the sample or samples required in
accordance with Bureau of Indian Standards (Certification ) Regulation, from his factory or godown.
BIS shall pay for the samples taken by it from the open market.
9.0 REPLACEMENT: Whenever a complaint is received soon after the product with Standard Mark
have been purchased and used, and if there is adequate evidence that the product has not been
misused, defective product shall be replaced or repaired free of cost by the licensee in case the
complaint is proved to be genuine and the warranty period (where applicable) has not expired. The
final authority to judge conformity of the product to the Indian Standard shall be with BIS. The firm
shall have own complaint investigation system as per IS/ISO 10002
9.1 In the event of any damages caused by the product bearing the Standard Mark, or claim being
filed by the consumers against BIS Standard Mark and not conforming to the relevant Indian
Standard, entire liability arising out of such non conforming product shall be of the licensee and BIS
shall not in any way be responsible in such cases
10.0 STOP MARKING: The marking of the product shall be stopped under intimation to BIS, if at
any time, there is some difficulty in maintaining the conformity of the product to the Standard, or the
testing equipment goes out of order. The marking may be resumed as soon as the defects are removed
under intimation to BIS.
The marking of the product shall be stopped immediately if directed by BIS for any reason.
The markingmay then be resumed only after permission by BIS. The information regarding
resumption of marking shallalso be sent to BIS.
11.0 PRODUCTION DATA: The licensee shall send to BIS as per the enclosed Proforma-1
authenticated by a Chartered Accountant, a statement of quantity produced, marked and exported by
them and the trade value thereof at the end of each operative year of the license.
