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.

PREPARED BY‐ Gyan Prakash, Sc.‐B, DLBO‐MCM APPROVED BY
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 typesinner lid type and outer lid type. Pressure cooker may also be hard anodized.

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
1
2
3
Nominal Capacity (litres)
1 to 6.5
7 to 15.5
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.
