The list has been brought into public discussions last month and the official announcement on phase 4 came sooner than expected. The BIS certification scheme has been implemented in several phases since 2012. The last update of phase 3 was in 2017.
BIS certification is required for many industrial and consumer electronic products. Factory inspections are also required for some products.
