Revised Deadline Announced for BIS Standard Implementation for Uninterrupted Power Supplies in India
6. November 2025The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) has extended the deadline for the mandatory implementation of the revised standard IS 16242 (Part 1): 2025 / IEC 62040-1:2017, including amendments 1:2021 and 2:2022 (CSV format), applicable to Uninterrupted Power Supplies (UPS) and similar products. Originally scheduled for enforcement by 19 November 2025, the implementation deadline has now been pushed to 19 November 2026. This extension was formally communicated through circulars issued on 21 August and 10 October 2025, with all other terms remaining unchanged.
Uninterrupted Power Supplies and similar products usually require BIS certification in order to be approved for import and sale in India.
Manufacturers—both existing and new—as well as those altering their scope of registration, must ensure compliance with the updated standards by the revised deadline to maintain their BIS licenses.
