Notably, companies are no longer required to maintain in-house testing laboratories. Instead, manufacturers can now utilize flexible testing alternatives such as shared facilities, cluster-based testing centers, or subcontracted testing through either BIS-recognized laboratories or any ISO\/IEC 17025-accredited labs. Additionally, the Scheme of Inspection and Testing (SIT), once mandatory, is now only recommended. Manufacturers are allowed to implement their own Quality Assurance Plan (QAP) as long as it aligns with relevant Indian Standards.

These include items regulated by the DPIIT and PESO, such as products requiring pre-dispatch or lot inspections, as well as cement products overseen by the DPIIT\/Cement Desk. Food products, protective helmets for two-wheeler riders, and any products for which BIS certification is based on factory testing are also exempt. This regulatory update aims to ease compliance and enhance flexibility, particularly for MSMEs and those using shared infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are interested in understanding what requirements are needed for your product to be imported into India, please do not hesitate to contact us by <a href=\"mailto:info@certification-india.com\"><strong>email<\/strong><\/a> or phone (Europe: <strong>+49-69-271 37 69 261, <\/strong>US: <strong>+1 773 654-2673<\/strong><strong>)<\/strong>.
