Compliance steps

1
Verify the foreign supplier's BIS Compulsory Registration Scheme R-number against the appliance-specific IS 302 part applicable to the product: Part 2/Sec 9 for general kitchen electrical appliances, Part 2/Sec 25 for microwave ovens, Part 2/Sec 6 for induction stoves, Part 2/Sec 15 for rice cookers, and Part 2/Sec 202 for electric stoves. The R-number must be model-specific and current on the shipping bill date.
Electrical Appliances for Kitchen (Quality Control) Order, 2023 · S.O. 1128(E) dated 05-03-2024; Electronics and Information Technology Goods (Requirement of Compulsory Registration) Order, 2021 · S.O. 1248(E) dated 18-03-2021
2
Confirm the correct IS 302 section and scheme for each appliance type. Kitchen electrical appliances fall under Scheme-I of Schedule-II of the BIS (Conformity Assessment) Regulations, 2018; microwave ovens, induction stoves, and rice cookers fall under Scheme-II of Schedule-II. Mismatching scheme to product type invalidates the R-number for customs purposes.

3
For induction hobs rated at voltages not exceeding 250 V AC, 50 Hz single phase, additionally verify compliance with IS 19014 and Bureau of Energy Efficiency labelling requirements. The label particulars must be displayed as specified under BEE regulations and referenced on consignment documentation.
S.O. 6044(E) dated 08-12-2025 · BEE Notification 5506/BEE/S&L/AL/2025-26 dated 26-12-2025
4
Obtain Extended Producer Responsibility authorisation from the Central Pollution Control Board before import of electric cookers, hot plates, and electric stoves. Micro enterprises registered under 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
5
Quote the BIS R-number, CPCB EPR authorisation number, and BEE labelling reference on the bill of entry, and ensure compliance with CBIC Instruction 27/2025-Cus and DGFT Notification 13/24-25 as applicable. Customs verifies each reference independently; any absent, expired, or scope-mismatched reference triggers consignment detention.

A word of counsel

The single most common error on this tariff line is registering the supplier under one IS 302 part-section and then importing a product variant covered by a different part-section — for example, obtaining an R-number under IS 302 (Part 2/Sec 9) for kitchen appliances and then importing induction stoves, which require IS 302 (Part 2/Sec 6) under a different scheme. Customs port verification is model-code and IS-section specific; a scope mismatch between the declared R-number and the physical appliance triggers detention of the entire consignment regardless of overall BIS registration status.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 8516 60 00 require BIS certification?

Yes. Electric ovens, cookers, cooking plates, boiling rings, grillers, and roasters require Bureau of Indian Standards registration under the Compulsory Registration Scheme against the applicable part of IS 302, with effect from 07 September 2024 under the Electrical Appliances for Kitchen (Quality Control) Order, 2023.

Do small and micro enterprises face the same enforcement date?

No. Under S.O. 1128(E), the enforcement date for small enterprises is 07 December 2024 and for micro enterprises it is 07 March 2025, both later than the primary date of 07 September 2024 applicable to other importers.

Which IS 302 part-section applies to which appliance type under this HSN?

Part 2/Sec 9 applies to general kitchen electrical appliances; Part 2/Sec 25 to microwave ovens; Part 2/Sec 6 to induction stoves; Part 2/Sec 15 to rice cookers; Part 2/Sec 202 to electric stoves. Induction hobs rated up to 250 V AC single phase additionally require IS 19014 compliance under S.O. 6044(E).

Does a single Compulsory Registration Scheme R-number cover all cooking appliance models from the same manufacturer?

No. The R-number is model-specific and IS-section specific; appliance models outside the registered scope, or covered by a different IS 302 part-section, are not covered and will be detained at customs on a scope mismatch.
