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 CM/L number, licensed product scope, and manufacturing facility address 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, applied to the product itself under Scheme-I of Schedule-II to the BIS (Conformity Assessment) Regulations, 2018. Marking on packaging alone does not satisfy the statutory requirement.

3
Retain the supplier's test reports evidencing compliance with IS 9573 (Part 1):2017 (hose construction, pressure rating, burst strength) and IS 9573 (Part 2):2017 (hose assemblies with fittings). These records must be available for production at the port of import on customs request.

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 product-scope-mismatched licence triggers consignment detention, with demurrage and ground rent accruing until the deficiency is resolved or the consignment is re-exported.

A word of counsel

The single most common error on this tariff line is sourcing from a manufacturer whose CM/L licence covers IS 9573 (Part 1):2017 (hose specification) but does not separately extend to IS 9573 (Part 2):2017 (hose assemblies with fittings). HSN 4009 22 00 specifically covers hose supplied with fittings; a CM/L that is silent on Part 2, or that covers bare hose only, leaves the imported assembly outside the licensed scope and exposes the consignment to detention at port regardless of the ISI mark appearing on the hose body.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 4009 22 00 require BIS certification?

Yes. Rubber hose for LPG with fittings is covered by the Rubber Hose for Liquefied Petroleum Gas (Quality Control) Order, 2020, requiring ISI Mark Scheme certification against IS 9573 (Part 1):2017 and IS 9573 (Part 2):2017 with effect from 28 January 2020.

Are both parts of IS 9573 required, or is Part 1 alone sufficient?

Both parts are required for hose supplied with fittings. IS 9573 (Part 1):2017 governs the hose construction and IS 9573 (Part 2):2017 governs the hose assembly with fittings; HSN 4009 22 00 covers the assembled product, so the CM/L must extend to both parts.

Does the QCO apply to all rubber hose with fittings, or only to LPG service hose?

The Rubber Hose for Liquefied Petroleum Gas (Quality Control) Order, 2020 is specific to LPG service. Rubber hose with fittings intended for other fluid service may be classified under the same tariff line but falls outside the scope of S.O. 478(E) and its IS 9573 mandate.

Does a single CM/L licence cover all hose dimensions and pressure ratings from one manufacturer?

No. A CM/L licence is scope-specific by product variant, dimensional range, pressure class, and manufacturing facility; hose assemblies outside the licensed scope or from an unlicensed plant are not covered.
