Compliance steps

1
Source only from a Bureau of Indian Standards CM/L-licensed manufacturer holding a current licence against IS 374:2019 for electric ceiling-type fans. Verify the supplier's CM/L number, licensed product scope, and manufacturing facility address on the BIS online register before placing the purchase order.
Electric Ceiling Type Fans (Quality Control) Order, 2023 · S.O. 3641(E) dated 09-08-2023
2
Ensure every ceiling fan bears the ISI mark and the supplier's CM/L number, per Scheme-I of Schedule-II to the BIS (Conformity Assessment) Regulations, 2018. The marking must appear on the product itself; packaging-only marking does not satisfy the statutory requirement.
Scheme-I of Schedule-II to the BIS (Conformity Assessment) Regulations, 2018 · Electric Ceiling Type Fans (Quality Control) Order, 2023
3
Obtain Extended Producer Responsibility authorisation from the Central Pollution Control Board before import. Micro enterprises as defined in the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Development Act, 2006 are exempt. Quote the EPR authorisation number on the bill of entry.
Schedule-I of the E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2022 · G.S.R. 801(E) dated 02-11-2022
4
Ensure compliance with the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (Appliance Labelling and Compliance) Regulations, 2026 for ceiling fans within the labelling scope. The BEE labelling reference must accompany the consignment-level documentation at the time of customs filing.
BEE Notification 5506/BEE/S&L/AL/2025-26 dated 26-12-2025
5
Quote the supplier's BIS CM/L number, the CPCB EPR authorisation number, and the BEE labelling reference on the bill of entry. Verify that any Udyam-registered micro or small enterprise exemption claimed is supported by a Chartered Accountant certificate confirming investment and turnover thresholds.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is relying on an enterprise-size exemption without adequately documenting it at port. The Udyam-registered micro and small enterprise carve-outs under S.O. 777(E) carry specific investment and turnover caps that must be certified by a Chartered Accountant for the preceding financial year; an importer who claims the exemption but cannot produce that certificate on demand faces detention of the entire consignment as unmarked, unlicensed goods — regardless of actual enterprise size. Confirm the certificate is in hand before the shipment departs, not after the bill of entry is filed.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 8414 51 20 require BIS certification?

Yes. Ceiling fans under this tariff line must conform to IS 374:2019 and bear the ISI mark under a CM/L licence issued by the Bureau of Indian Standards, with effect from 15 February 2024 under the Electric Ceiling Type Fans (Quality Control) Order, 2023.

Are micro and small enterprises exempt from the BIS QCO obligation?

A qualified exemption exists for Udyam-registered enterprises whose plant and machinery investment does not exceed ₹1 crore and turnover does not exceed ₹5 crore in the preceding financial year, as certified by a Chartered Accountant; the effective BIS obligation date for small enterprises was 15 May 2024 and for micro enterprises was 15 August 2024.

Is Extended Producer Responsibility authorisation required separately from BIS QCO compliance?

Yes. EPR authorisation is administered by the Central Pollution Control Board under Schedule-I of the E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2022 and is independent of the BIS ISI Mark Scheme obligation. Micro enterprises as defined in the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Development Act, 2006 are exempt from EPR.

Does a single CM/L licence cover all ceiling fan models and manufacturing facilities?

No. A CM/L licence is scope-specific by product variant and manufacturing facility; models or plants outside the licensed scope are not covered, and a mismatch with the BIS register at customs triggers detention.
