Mandatory BIS Certification Announced for Refined Zinc in India
19. June 2025The Ministry of Mines has issued a new directive titled the Refined Zinc (Quality Control) Order, 2025, under the Bureau of Indian Standards Act, 2016. Scheduled to take effect six months from its publication date of April 17, 2025, the Order mandates that refined zinc products conform to the Indian Standard IS 209:2024. Only items intended for domestic use fall under the Order’s scope, while goods meant for export are exempt. According to the directive, products must display the BIS Standard Mark and be certified under Scheme-1 of Schedule-II of the BIS (Conformity Assessment) Regulations, 2018. The Bureau of Indian Standards will serve as the designated authority for certification and enforcement. Products such as refined zinc, as well as refined nickel and others, typically require BIS ISI certification in order to be approved for import and sale in India.
