BIS Standards – Implementations next Month – May 2026
30. April 2026We regularly receive advance information from the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) regarding new Quality Control Orders that will come into force shortly. Affected products must obtain BIS certification in order to be approved for import and distribution in India. Within the next month, the standard IS/IEC 62368: Part 1: 2023 will come into effect, covering safety requirements for audio/video equipment as well as IT and communication devices.
Quality Control Orders (QCOs) issued by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) are mandatory regulations designed to ensure that certain products comply with national quality standards. While BIS standards are generally voluntary, QCOs make compliance compulsory and serve to protect humans, animals, and the environment, as well as to ensure product quality in India.
