This standard covers the general and safety requirements for Electric Water Boilers to ensure personal safety against electric shock, effect of excessive temperature and fire, etc. For the sake of convenience of reference the format of the standard has been followed with the pattern followed in IS 302-I ( 1979 ) ‘Safety of household and similar electrical appliances : Part 1 General requirements (fifth revision )‘. The performance requirements and the detail list of performance characteristics along with the methods for evaluation of these characteristics are covered in a separate standard IS 3412 : I993 ‘Specification for electric water boilers ( second revision )‘. This standard is to be read in conjunction with IS 302-l ( 1979 ). For the sake of convenience, where the clause of this standard corresponds to that of IS 302-I ( 1979 ), instead of reproducing full text of each clause of IS 302-I ( 1979 ) which are applicable ( which means that relevant provision of the clause applies ) or not applicable and the sub-clauses or portion thereof which are not applicable are indicated as under: a) In case of a clause where it is applicable or not applicable, the wording used is ‘This clause of IS 302-l ( 1979 ) is applicable/not applicable’. b) In case of a sub-clause or part thereof ‘Not applicable’.- Wherever a sub-clause of IS 302-I ( 1979 ) is to be replaced by a new text, it has been indicated as under: Replacement - Followed by the new text.

Clauses/Tables which are additional to those of IS 302-l ( 1979 ) are numbered starting from 101 and additional sub-clauses are numbered with the main clause number followed by 101, 102, 103, etc, for example 2.101 should however any deviations exist between IS 302-l ( 1979 ) and this standard, the provision of latter shall apply. For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with, the final value, observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test, shall be rounded off in accordance with IS 2 : 1960 ‘Rules for rounding off numerical values ( revised )‘. The number of significant places retained in the rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard.
