Government Rescinds 2023 BIS Order for Copper Products
18. December 2025The Indian Ministry of Mines has officially withdrawn the Copper (Quality Control) Order, 2023, through notification S.O. 5174(E) dated November 13, 2025. This move comes under the authority granted by Sections 16, 17, and 25(3) of the Bureau of Indian Standards Act, 2016. Following consultation with the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS), the government deemed the rescission necessary in the public interest. As a result, the earlier notification S.O. 3847(E), issued on August 31, 2023, has been rescinded, with the exception of actions already undertaken under its provisions. Copper metals and alloys usually required BIS certification in order to be approved for import and sale in India.
