Compliance steps

1
Verify the foreign supplier holds a current BIS Compulsory Registration Scheme R-number against IS/IEC 62368 (Part 1):2023 — or, during the concurrent-running window, IS 13252 (Part 1):2010 or IS 616:2017 — on the BIS portal. The R-number must be model-specific and valid on the bill of lading date.

2
Confirm that optical disc players with built-in amplifiers of input power 200 W and above meet IS/IEC 62368 (Part 1):2023 specifically. Ensure each unit bears the BIS standard mark under the R-number as required by Scheme-II of Schedule-II to the BIS (Conformity Assessment) Regulations, 2018.

3
Determine the applicable concurrent-running window for the consignment. For goods at serial no. 65 of the schedule, concurrent running of IS 13252 (Part 1):2010 and IS 616:2017 with IS/IEC 62368 (Part 1):2023 is permitted until 01-05-2026; for all other notified goods, until 01-11-2028, after which IS 13252 and IS 616 stand withdrawn.

4
Quote the supplier's BIS R-number and the applicable IS standard on the bill of entry. Ensure compliance with DGFT Notification 13/24-25 in respect of paragraph 2.31(1)(b) of the FTP-2023, paragraph 2(c) of the general notes to the import policy, and policy condition 5 of Chapter 85.

5
Review and comply with paragraphs 1 to 4 of CBIC Instruction 27/2025-Cus dated 26-08-2025 before filing the bill of entry. An R-number that is expired, model-scope-mismatched, or registered against an already-withdrawn standard after the concurrent-running deadline triggers consignment detention.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is assuming that a legacy R-number registered against IS 13252 (Part 1):2010 or IS 616:2017 remains valid indefinitely. The concurrent-running windows under S.O. 4997(E) are deadline-specific and product-position-specific: serial no. 65 goods lose IS 13252 and IS 616 coverage on 01-05-2026, while other positions retain it only until 01-11-2028. Importing against an R-number tied to a withdrawn standard after its deadline exposes the consignment to detention and re-export regardless of the model's prior compliance history.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 8519 89 20 require BIS certification?

Yes. Compact disc changers, mini disc players, and laser disc players under this tariff line require BIS 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).

Can the supplier still hold an R-number under IS 13252 or IS 616 instead of IS 62368?

Yes, during the concurrent-running window only. IS 13252 (Part 1):2010 and IS 616:2017 run concurrently with IS/IEC 62368 (Part 1):2023 until 01-05-2026 for serial no. 65 goods and until 01-11-2028 for all other notified goods; both legacy standards are withdrawn at those dates respectively.

Does the 200 W input-power threshold affect the applicable standard?

Yes. Optical disc players with built-in amplifiers of 200 W input power or above must conform specifically to IS/IEC 62368 (Part 1):2023; the CCR makes this a mandatory conformance threshold, not a general guidance figure.

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

No. A Compulsory Registration Scheme R-number is model-specific; variants outside the registered model code, or models registered against a standard whose concurrent-running window has closed, are not covered and will be detained at customs.
