Extension for IS 3224: 2021 – Valve Fittings for Compressed Gas Cylinders, excluding Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG)
The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) has revised the Indian standard IS 3224: 2002 Valve fittings for compressed gas cylinders, excluding LPG to a new version IS 3224: 2021. The guidelines for the implementation of the above-mentioned revision have already been published on January 21, 2022. In many cases, compressed gas cylinders and related products and components require BIS certification or PESO certification.
The original deadline for the implementation of the revised standard was December 22, 2022, which has been extended to December 22, 2023.
As a result of applications submitted by affected manufacturers, the deadline for the implementation of IS 3224: 2021 has now been postponed until December 22, 2024. It is recommended that all licensees and applicants be aware of this change and ensure that the implementation of the updated standard is done by this date.
The further instructions for the introduction explained in letter Nr. CMD-III/16: IS 3224 of 21 January 2022 remain unaffected by this and continue to apply.

New IS Standards for Aluminium Products under IS 16011, IS 21 and IS 617
Since August 2023, a series of new, updated Indian Standards (IS) have been published that affect various aluminum product groups, thereby further defining the obligation for BIS-ISI certification and explaining requirements.
The following product groups are affected by the new standards:
IS 16011
This standard applies to aluminium foils with a thickness between 0.020 mm (20 microns) and 0.040 mm (40 microns). More specifically, it specifies the specifications for bare, coated or laminated aluminum and aluminum alloy foils used for pharmaceutical packaging. The Indian standard covers the various technical requirements.
IS 21
This standard includes wrought aluminium and aluminium alloys used in the manufacture of commodities. The assignment under to this standard depends on the intended use, the type of device and the manufacturing method.
IS 617
This specification defines the criteria for aluminium castings and their alloys, manufactured as ingots and castings intended for general technical applications.
To export products to India, manufacturers must obtain either BIS Certification (ISI) under the Foreign Manufacturers Certification Scheme (FMCS) or BIS Registration (CRS), depending on the type of product. These steps are necessary in order to be allowed to introduce and distribute the products on the Indian market.

Louis Gogger is new Managing Director of MPR International GmbH
Frankfurt am Main – Louis Gogger took over the position of Managing Director of MPR International GmbH on March 1, 2024. Louis Gogger was previously Country Manager India and was largely responsible for the company’s market entry in the fast-growing and promising Indian market.
“Louis Gogger has demonstrated outstanding leadership skills and a deep understanding of the dynamics of international markets. He has a clear vision for MPR International and will be able to significantly strengthen the momentum of our development,” says Julian Busch, who has been the sole managing director to date, commenting on this strategically important decision.
Louis Gogger joins the company with the aim of opening up new sales markets and further developing the company’s service portfolio. “The demand for certifications has increased significantly among German and European manufacturers over the past two years, especially for India and South Korea. We are also noticing a dynamization of the approval regulations and test requirements on the part of the authorities, which also requires the professionalization of certification projects. For OEMs and suppliers, as well as exporters, the need for professional advice is becoming increasingly clear,” he says, referring to the significant increase in sales that the company has recorded.
The increasing consideration of sustainability and environmental aspects is also accelerating the increase in approval requirements in the Asian markets. MPR International will therefore adapt its personnel and region to these requirements in order to secure its market leadership for Asian certifications in the long term.
