BIS QCO APPLICABLE · ISI MARK SCHEME · IS 739

HSN 7605 19 10 (aluminium wire with maximum cross-sectional dimension exceeding 6 mm but not exceeding 7 mm) is covered by a Bureau of Indian Standards Quality Control Order. Conformity to IS 739:1992 (general engineering purposes) or IS 2067:1975 (electrical purposes) is mandatory under the ISI Mark Scheme with effect from 01 October 2025, pursuant to the Aluminium and Aluminium Alloy Products (Quality Control) Order, 2025. No separate customs-clearance overlay applies beyond the BIS obligation.

Compliance steps

1
Source only from a Bureau of Indian Standards CM/L-licensed manufacturer holding a current licence against IS 739:1992 (wrought aluminium and aluminium alloy wire for general engineering purposes) or IS 2067:1975 (wrought aluminium wire for electrical purposes), as applicable to end-use. Verify the CM/L number, licensed product scope, and manufacturing facility on the BIS online register before placing the purchase order.

2
Ensure every consignment lot 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 or product packaging in the manner required by the licensed scheme.
Scheme-I of Schedule-II to the BIS (Conformity Assessment) Regulations, 2018 · S.O. 2021(E) dated 05-05-2025
3
Determine the correct applicable IS before import: wire imported for general engineering purposes must conform to IS 739:1992; wire imported for electrical purposes must conform to IS 2067:1975. The CM/L licence must match the declared end-use standard.

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

5
If the importer is a micro or small enterprise, confirm the applicable effective date: micro enterprises are subject to the QCO from 01 April 2026 and small enterprises from 01 January 2026. Retain documentary evidence of MSMED Act enterprise classification to support any exemption claim during the transitional window.

A word of counsel

The single most common error on this tariff line is treating IS 739:1992 and IS 2067:1975 as interchangeable, when they govern distinct end-uses — general engineering and electrical purposes respectively — each requiring a separate CM/L licence with matching product scope. Importing electrical-purpose wire under a CM/L licensed only against IS 739:1992, or vice versa, constitutes a scope mismatch that customs detects on real-time BIS register verification, triggering detention of the entire consignment regardless of whether the physical wire is otherwise conformant.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 7605 19 10 require BIS certification?

Yes. Wrought aluminium wire of this cross-sectional range requires Bureau of Indian Standards certification under the ISI Mark Scheme against IS 739:1992 or IS 2067:1975, with effect from 01 October 2025 under the Aluminium and Aluminium Alloy Products (Quality Control) Order, 2025.

Which Indian Standard applies — IS 739:1992 or IS 2067:1975?

IS 739:1992 applies to wrought aluminium and aluminium alloy wire for general engineering purposes; IS 2067:1975 applies to wrought aluminium wire for electrical purposes. The applicable standard is determined by the declared end-use of the imported wire.

Do micro and small enterprises have a different enforcement date?

Yes. The effective date for micro enterprises is 01 April 2026 and for small enterprises is 01 January 2026, as defined under the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Development Act, 2006. The general effective date of 01 October 2025 applies to all other importers.

Does a single CM/L licence cover both engineering and electrical-purpose aluminium wire?

No. A CM/L licence is scope-specific to the Indian Standard and product variant for which it is granted; a licence against IS 739:1992 does not cover electrical-purpose wire governed by IS 2067:1975, and each end-use requires a separately licensed supplier.
