BIS Standards – Implementations next Month – August 2025

We regularly publish advance information from the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) on new Quality Control Orders that will come into effect shortly. Affected products must have BIS certification in order to be approved for import and distribution in India. Within the next month, two new standards will come into effect for stainless steel seamless pipes and tubes for general service.

India’s Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) issues Quality Control Orders (QCOs) to legally require that certain products meet established national quality norms. Unlike standard BIS certifications, which are generally optional, QCOs are binding for both domestic manufacturers and foreign importers dealing in listed products. These mandates are introduced to protect consumer safety, environmental integrity, and animal health, while ensuring uniform product standards across the market. The scope of QCOs includes a wide range of goods such as electronics, metals, chemicals, and toys. Violating these orders can result in legal penalties, including fines or imprisonment.

Here is an overview of the new Quality Control Orders that will come into effect next month:

BIS Mark made Compulsory for Bearings in phased Rollout across India

The Ministry of Commerce and Industry of India has issued the Bearings (Quality Control) Order, 2025, making it mandatory for certain types of bearings to conform to Indian Standards and bear the BIS mark. This regulation will apply to both imported and domestically produced goods, except for those made specifically for export, components of finished products, or items used in R&D under limited conditions. The Order outlines phased implementation timelines depending on the size of the enterprise—general industry, small enterprises, and micro-enterprises will be required to comply within 12, 15, and 18 months respectively from the date of publication.

The Order specifies that the BIS will serve as the certifying and enforcing authority. Exemptions are provided for goods intended solely for export, imports used as sub-assemblies, and certain quantities used exclusively for testing and development. Manufacturers intending to import components for export-oriented production must submit a self-declaration and maintain detailed records subject to government audit. Violations of this Order will attract penalties under the Bureau of Indian Standards Act, 2016.

Here is a complete list of the affected bearing types and the corresponding Indian standards listed in the official announcement.

BIS Certification under Scheme X launched – New Information on Implementation and Open Questions

On July 11, 2025, the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) published binding requirements for the new certification procedure “Scheme X” for the first time. These requirements apply to a wide range of products, including various production machines and systems, as well as pumps, motors, filters, and other technical equipment. As of now, these products will require BIS certification under Scheme X starting in September 2026 to be imported into and sold in India.

Technical Basis

Two certification pathways have been confirmed:

The conformity assessment is based on standard IS 16819, which is fully harmonized with the EU Machinery Directive, including Type A, B, and C standards. Assessment is carried out through a factory inspection and evaluation of documents submitted during the application process.

Requirements for Technical Files and Product Compliance Report

The Product Compliance Report is a mandatory part of the technical documentation and must cover the following key safety aspects:

It must also document risk mitigation measures, including:

In addition, the requirements for the Technical Files match those previously communicated by the authority.

If additional documents are requested, the applicant has 15 days to respond, and BIS commits to replying within the same period.

Audit Requirements

The standard audit covers four man-days with two auditors. Additional man-days may be required for reviewing further technical documents. If final assembly does not take place at the manufacturing site, the final assembly location must also be audited.

During the audit, safety functions must be demonstrated, and the manufacturing process and quality assurance system must be presented in detail.

The certification is valid for three to six years, depending on the product category.

Open Questions

  1. Certificate of Conformity (CoC):
    • How exactly does the CoC process differ from Type Approval?
    • What are the requirements for applying for a CoC?
  2. Factory Audit in Case of Product Expansion:
    • Are new audits required when variants are added later? This is not currently expected but not officially defined.
    • When is a follow-up product considered an auditable extension? Likely when products of a different category are added to an already certified site.
  3. Product Compliance Report:
    • Is there a required format or minimum content?
    • Is a freely structured report acceptable as long as all content is included?
  4. Audit Duration:
    • Does “4 man-days with two auditors” mean two calendar days with two people, or four days with both auditors present?
  5. Final Assembly at the Customer Site in India:
    • Will an additional on-site audit be required at the customer’s location if the final assembly is done there?
  6. Certification Validity:
    • Can the maximum six-year validity be applied for directly, or is a step-by-step approach required?
  7. Role of the Authorized Indian Representative (AIR):
    • What specific responsibilities does the AIR have according to Annex 4 regarding test coordination, even though product testing is not generally required?

BIS Standards – Implementations next Month – July 2025

We regularly publish advance information from the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) on new Quality Control Orders that will come into effect shortly. Affected products must have BIS certification in order to be approved for import and distribution in India. Within the next month, several standards will come into force, including certain types of cable sheathing, as well as different types of hinges and flashlights.

The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) enforces Quality Control Orders (QCOs) to mandate that specific products comply with national quality benchmarks. Unlike regular BIS standards, which are typically voluntary, QCOs impose legal obligations on manufacturers and importers of designated goods. These regulations aim to safeguard public health, animal welfare, and the environment, while also upholding consistent product quality in India. QCOs cover a broad array of items, including chemicals, metals, toys, and electronic devices. Non-compliance can lead to significant legal consequences, including fines or imprisonment.

India tightens BIS Requirements for Imported Steel and Input Materials under QCO Compliance Framework

The Indian Ministry of Steel has mandated that all steel and steel products falling under chapters 72 and 73 of the ITC (HS) codes must comply with 151 specified Indian Standards. These standards have been integrated into the Steel and Steel Products (Quality Control) Order, 2024 (QCO), which was published via notification S.O. 3716(E) dated August 29, 2024. In addition to ensuring product compliance with QCO provisions, importers must now also verify that the input materials used in these products conform to the relevant Indian Standards. A detailed mapping between input materials and their applicable Indian Standards has been included for reference. This measure is intended to reinforce product quality oversight and regulatory alignment with domestic manufacturing criteria. Steel and steel products usually require BIS certification in order to be approved for import and sale in India.

As stipulated in the order dated June 13, 2025, these requirements will be enforced for imports with Bills of Lading dated on or after June 16, 2025. Furthermore, registration on the Steel Import Monitoring System (SIMS) portal remains compulsory for all such imports. The notification emphasizes the necessity for importers to ensure strict adherence to both QCO and the mapped Indian Standards of input materials. Compliance will be verified by the relevant regulatory authorities, with potential import restrictions applied to non-conforming shipments.
