3 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 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. 2 P a g e I S S U E N O 1

6 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/cm 2 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. 2.
