Compliance steps

1
Verify the foreign manufacturer's BIS Compulsory Registration Scheme R-number on the BIS portal against IS/IEC 62368 (Part 1):2023. The R-number must be model-specific, current on the shipping bill date, and cover the exact model being imported.

2
Confirm which concurrent standard applies to the specific product: optical disc players with built-in amplifiers of input power 200 W and above are covered by IS/IEC 62368 (Part 1):2023. IS 13252 (Part 1):2010 and IS 616:2017 run concurrently until their respective withdrawal dates — 01-05-2026 for Serial No. 65 goods and 01-11-2028 for all other notified goods.

3
Determine whether the product contains wireless functionality operating in a licence-exempt band. If so, obtain Equipment Type Approval through the SaralSanchar portal via self-declaration; the system-generated certificate is downloadable 48 hours after application and must accompany the consignment.

4
If the product requires a Wireless Planning and Coordination import licence (i.e., it is not licence-exempt), apply to DoT at least 30 days prior to the shipment's arrival via SaralSanchar. Telecom Service Provider importers may use the modified self-declaration procedure per the eased processing circular.

5
Quote the BIS R-number and, where applicable, the WPC Equipment Type Approval certificate number on the bill of entry. Ensure compliance with DGFT Notification 13/24-25 dated 20-05-2024 regarding paragraph 2.31(1)(b) of the Foreign Trade Policy 2023 and policy condition 5 of Chapter 85, and with CBIC Instruction 27/2025-CUS dated 26-08-2025.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is treating IS 13252 (Part 1):2010 or IS 616:2017 as permanently valid alternatives to IS/IEC 62368 (Part 1):2023 without tracking the concurrent-running withdrawal calendar. The two legacy standards have different sunset dates — 01 May 2026 for goods at Serial No. 65 and 01 November 2028 for all other notified goods — and a consignment shipped against the wrong standard after the relevant cut-off date arrives non-compliant even if the R-number was valid at the time of issue.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 8519 89 10 require BIS certification?

Yes. Audio compact disc players and optical disc players under this tariff line require Bureau of Indian Standards registration under the Compulsory Registration Scheme against IS/IEC 62368 (Part 1):2023, with effect from 18 March 2021, under S.O. 1248(E) as amended by S.O. 4997(E).

Is a Wireless Planning and Coordination Wing approval required separately from BIS QCO compliance?

Yes, where the product incorporates wireless functionality. Licence-exempt wireless equipment requires Equipment Type Approval via self-declaration on SaralSanchar; non-exempt wireless equipment requires a WPC import licence applied for at least 30 days before arrival.

Can IS 13252 (Part 1):2010 or IS 616:2017 still be used for compliance instead of IS/IEC 62368 (Part 1):2023?

Yes, during the concurrent-running window only. For Serial No. 65 goods the legacy standards are valid until 01 May 2026; for all other notified goods the window runs until 01 November 2028, after which IS 13252 (Part 1):2010 and IS 616:2017 stand withdrawn.

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

No. The R-number is model-specific under the Compulsory Registration Scheme; models outside the registered model code are not covered, and a model-code mismatch against the BIS register triggers consignment detention.
