FOREWORD
This Indian Standard was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft finalized by
the Electrical Appliances Sectional Committee had been approved by the Electrotechnical Division
Council.
This Indian Standard covers the general and safety requirements of low speed food grinding
machine. This standard does not cover the performance requirements, which are covered under a
separate standard IS 7603 : 1975.
This standard is to be read in conjunction with IS 302-1 ( 1979 ) ‘Safety of household and similar
electrical appliances: Part 1 General requirements’. For the sake of convenience, the clauses of this
standard correspond to those of IS 302-1 ( 1979 ). Instead of reproducing full text of each clause,
clauses of IS 302-1 ( 1979 ) which are applicable (which means that relevant provisions of the
clause apply) or not applicable and the sub-clauses or portions 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 302-1 ( 1979 ) is applicable/not applicable’.
b) In case of a sub-clause or part thereof ‘Not applicable’.
Wherever a sub-clause of IS 302-1 ( 1979 ) is to be replaced by a new text, it has been indicated as
under:
Replacement — followed by the next text.
Any addition to the existing provisions of a sub-clause of IS 302-1 ( 1979 ) has been indicated as
under:
‘Addition — followed by the text of the additional matter’.
Clauses/tables which are additional to those of IS 302-1 ( 1979 ) are numbered starting from 101
and additional sub-clauses are numbered with the main clause number followed by 101, 102, etc,
for example, 7.101.
Should, however, any deviation exist between IS 302-1 ( 1979 ) and this standard, the provisions of
the latter shall apply.
While preparing this standard, assistance has been derived from the following publication issued
by the International Electrotechnical Commission:
IEC Pub 335-1 ( 1976 ) Safety of household and similar electrical appliances: Part 1 General
requirements
The Indian Standards which are necessary adjuncts to this standard are given in Annex AA.
This edition 1.1 incorporates Amendment No. 1 (July 2000). Side bar indicates modification of the
text as the result of incorporation of the amendment.
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.
