Compliance steps

1
Verify the foreign supplier's BIS Compulsory Registration Scheme R-number on the BIS portal against IS 13252 Part 1:2010 or IS/IEC 62368 Part 1:2023 under Scheme-II of Schedule-II of the BIS (Conformity Assessment) Regulations, 2018. The R-number must be model-specific and current on the shipping bill date.
Electronics and Information Technology Goods (Requirements for Compulsory Registration) Order, 2021 · S.O. 1248(E) dated 18-03-2021 · S.O. 4997(E) dated 29-10-2025
2
Confirm which IS standard the supplier's R-number is registered against. IS 13252 Part 1:2010 and IS 616:2017 may be used concurrently with IS/IEC 62368 Part 1:2023 until 1 November 2028 for this product category; after that date IS 13252 and IS 616 stand withdrawn.

3
Obtain Wireless Planning and Coordination Equipment Type Approval if the product contains wireless functionality. For licence-exempt bands with low transmission power, apply via saralsanchar.gov.in; the system-generated ETA certificate is downloadable 48 hours after application and accepted by customs.

4
Obtain Extended Producer Responsibility authorisation from the Central Pollution Control Board for electronic displays, monitors, and electronic display panels 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 BIS R-number, WPC ETA certificate reference (if applicable), and EPR authorisation number on the bill of entry. Ensure compliance with DGFT Notification 13/24-25 and CBIC Instruction 27/2025-CUS. 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 an R-number registered under IS 13252 Part 1:2010 without confirming the model-code scope, then assuming the concurrent-running window provides a blanket grace period — it does not. The concurrent-running allowance governs which standard the supplier's R-number may be tested against; it does not extend validity of an expired or scope-mismatched R-number. A consignment bearing a model variant outside the registered scope faces detention and potential confiscation regardless of which IS version is cited.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 8528 69 00 require BIS certification?

Yes. Conformity to IS 13252 Part 1:2010 or IS/IEC 62368 Part 1:2023 is mandatory under the Compulsory Registration Scheme from 18 March 2021; import is permitted only from manufacturers holding a current, model-specific BIS R-number under the Electronics and Information Technology Goods (Requirements for Compulsory Registration) Order, 2021.

Is WPC Equipment Type Approval required separately from BIS QCO compliance?

Yes, for products incorporating wireless functionality. WPC type approval is administered by the Wireless Planning and Coordination wing of DoT and is independent of the BIS Compulsory Registration obligation; products in licence-exempt bands may use the self-declaration route via saralsanchar.gov.in.

Until when may IS 13252 Part 1:2010 be used instead of IS/IEC 62368 Part 1:2023?

For this product category, IS 13252 Part 1:2010 and IS 616:2017 may run concurrently with IS/IEC 62368 Part 1:2023 until 1 November 2028, per S.O. 4997(E) dated 29-10-2025; after that date both earlier standards stand withdrawn.

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

No. The R-number is model-specific; monitor variants outside the registered model code are not covered, and customs detains the consignment on a model-code mismatch with the BIS register.
