Compliance steps

1
Source only from a Bureau of Indian Standards CM/L-licensed manufacturer holding a current licence against IS 9573 (Part 1):2017 and IS 9573 (Part 2):2017 for LPG rubber hose assemblies. Verify the supplier's CM/L number, licensed product scope, and licensed manufacturing facility on the BIS online register before placing the purchase order.

2
Ensure every hose assembly bears the ISI mark and the supplier's CM/L number under Scheme-I of Schedule-II to the BIS (Conformity Assessment) Regulations, 2018. The standard mark must appear on the product itself, not on packaging alone.

3
Confirm with the supplier that the CM/L licence explicitly covers the hose assembly configuration being imported — including fittings, pressure rating, and dimensional range — under both Part 1 and Part 2 of IS 9573. A licence covering Part 1 alone does not authorise the complete assembly.

4
Quote the supplier's BIS CM/L number on the bill of entry. Customs verifies the CM/L in real time against the BIS register; an absent, expired, or scope-mismatched CM/L triggers consignment detention, demurrage, and potential re-export or confiscation.

A word of counsel

The single most common error on this tariff line is treating a CM/L licence covering only IS 9573 (Part 1):2017 (hose without fittings) as sufficient for importing complete assemblies with fittings under HSN 4009 12 00. The QCO mandates conformity to both Part 1 and Part 2; a consignment where the supplier's CM/L covers only one part arrives at port in violation of S.O. 478(E), triggering detention regardless of the ISI mark's presence on the hose body itself. Confirm part-specific licence coverage in writing before the purchase order is placed.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 4009 12 00 require BIS certification?

Yes. LPG rubber hose assemblies with fittings require Bureau of Indian Standards certification under the ISI Mark Scheme against IS 9573 (Part 1):2017 and IS 9573 (Part 2):2017, mandatory from 28 January 2020 under the Rubber Hose for Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) (Quality Control) Order, 2020.

Does the BIS QCO apply to rubber hoses without fittings as well?

Rubber hoses without fittings fall under a separate HSN (4009 11 00); the IS 9573 QCO obligation applies to that tariff line independently. HSN 4009 12 00 specifically covers hoses supplied with fittings.

Is a single CM/L licence sufficient if it covers only Part 1 of IS 9573?

No. The QCO requires conformity to both IS 9573 (Part 1):2017 and IS 9573 (Part 2):2017 for complete assemblies with fittings; a CM/L covering Part 1 alone does not satisfy the S.O. 478(E) obligation for the assembled product.

Is the CM/L licence facility-specific and model-specific?

Yes. A CM/L licence is specific to the licensed manufacturing facility, product specification, and pressure rating; hose assemblies produced at an unlicensed plant or outside the licensed dimensional range are not covered.
