Will it fall off the ceiling?

-

The ‘suspension system’ test checks if the ceiling fan will break and drop to the ground when subjected to a tensile load of 1,000 kg and a torsion load of 500 kg-cm. All brands withstood the loads, so you know you are safe when standing directly under these fans. The Indian Standard requires that the design and general constructi­on of a fan be such that the blades are securely fixed, the material used in fan and regulator are heatand corrosion-resistant, and there is protection against direct contact with live parts, among other things.
