Implementation Dates for BIS Certification on PVC and PP Materials Extended in India
21. August 2025The Ministry of Chemicals and Fertilizers has issued amendments to the Quality Control Orders concerning two key polymer materials. Under the revised notifications, the implementation deadline for compliance with the Poly Vinyl Chloride (PVC) Homopolymers (Quality Control) Order has been extended from June 24, 2025, to December 24, 2025. This change was formally notified through the Gazette of India on June 20, 2025. PVC and similar materials usually require BIS certification in order to be approved for import and sale in India.
In a separate notification dated June 23, 2025, the Ministry also amended the Quality Control Order for Polypropylene (PP) Materials used in moulding and extrusion applications. The new enforcement date has been shifted from June 24, 2025, to October 24, 2025. These extensions aim to give manufacturers and importers additional time to align their products with the applicable Indian Standards.
