Government tenders for fogging machines increasingly specify IS 14855 (Part 1) as a mandatory requirement. This guide explains what IS 14855 means, why it matters for tender compliance, and what documentation you need.
What Is IS 14855?
IS 14855 (Part 1) is the Bureau of Indian Standards specification for portable power-operated thermal fogging machines. It defines construction, safety, and performance requirements — and has become the default quality benchmark in government fogging machine tenders.
Why IS 14855 Appears in Government Tenders
- GeM product category is titled "Fogging Machine (V2) as per IS 14855 (Part 1)" — machines must conform.
- IS 14855 is an Indian standard that gives procurement preference to Indian manufacturers.
- IS 14855 includes operator safety requirements important to municipal bodies.
IS 14855 vs ISI Mark

- ISO 9001:2015 certificate
- Technical specification sheet
- OEM authorization letter (if bidding as a dealer)
