This is based on a recent decision by the Ministry of Heavy Industries dated 14 January 2026, which officially repeals the \u201cMachinery and Electrical Equipment Safety (Omnibus Technical Regulation) Order, 2024\u201d. The decision was made pursuant to Section 16 of the Bureau of Indian Standards Act, 2016, and is justified on the grounds of public interest. Machinery and plant equipment in particular would have been subject to the announced <a href=\"https:\/\/www.certification-india.com\/en\/bis\/what-is-bis\/\"><strong>BIS Scheme X certification<\/strong><\/a> requirement. Despite the suspension for complete machinery and plant equipment, the requirements of BIS Schemes I and II remain fully in force for affected components and spare parts. Manufacturers should therefore carefully review all shipments to India for any potential certification obligations for individual parts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.certification-india.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/india-bis-logo-2-1024x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-28768\" style=\"width:300px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.certification-india.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/india-bis-logo-2-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.certification-india.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/india-bis-logo-2-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.certification-india.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/india-bis-logo-2-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.certification-india.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/india-bis-logo-2-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/www.certification-india.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/india-bis-logo-2.png 1335w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This unexpected change has an immediate impact on ongoing certification projects and leads to temporary legal uncertainty. In recent months, there have already been several short-notice changes to the timeline and requirements relating to machinery safety. Whether and when the topic will be taken up again is currently unclear. A reassessment of the regulatory situation and alignment on the next steps is required.<\/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>.
