Compliance steps

1
Source only from a Bureau of Indian Standards CM/L-licensed manufacturer holding a current licence against IS 302 (Part 2/Sec 7):2010 for domestic electric clothes washing machines. Verify the supplier's CM/L number, licensed product scope, capacity range, and manufacturing facility on the BIS online register before placing the purchase order.

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

3
Note the phased enforcement: the general obligation is effective 01-04-2025; small enterprises (as defined under the MSMED Act, 2006) are subject from 01-07-2025; micro enterprises from 01-10-2025. Machines with capacity greater than 11 kg have a one-year transitional window from the QCO commencement date for certified or certification-applied manufacturers.

4
Obtain Extended Producer Responsibility authorisation from the Central Pollution Control Board before import. MSMED-registered micro enterprises 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
5
Quote the supplier's BIS CM/L number and the CPCB EPR authorisation number on the bill of entry, and ensure compliance with the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (Appliance Labelling and Compliance) Regulations, 2026. Customs verifies each independently; any absent, expired, or scope-mismatched reference triggers consignment detention.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is importing against a CM/L licence that covers a different IS 302 part or section — for instance, a licence issued under a general household-appliance part rather than the washing-machine-specific IS 302 (Part 2/Sec 7):2010. The QCO is appliance-specific; a CM/L covering a parent or sibling IS 302 part does not satisfy the obligation and triggers detention at port regardless of the ISI mark being physically present on the machine. Confirm the exact Part and Section number on the supplier's CM/L against the QCO schedule before the purchase order.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 8450 12 00 require BIS certification?

Yes. Domestic electric clothes washing machines with built-in centrifugal driers must conform to IS 302 (Part 2/Sec 7):2010 under the ISI Mark Scheme, mandatory from 01 April 2025 by virtue of S.O. 4815(E).

Do phased enforcement dates apply to small and micro enterprises?

Yes. Small enterprises as defined under the MSMED Act, 2006 must comply from 01 July 2025; micro enterprises from 01 October 2025. Machines with capacity greater than 11 kg have an additional one-year transitional window for certified or certification-applied manufacturers.

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

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

Does a single CM/L licence cover all washing machine capacities and variants from the same manufacturer?

No. The CM/L is scope-specific by product variant, capacity range, and manufacturing facility; machines outside the licensed scope or from an unlicensed plant are not covered and customs will detain the consignment on a scope mismatch.
