Compliance steps

1
Verify the foreign manufacturer's BIS Compulsory Registration Scheme R-number on the BIS portal against IS 18112:2022 for television sets. The R-number must be model-specific, covering the exact screen-size range, and current on the date of the shipping bill.

2
Confirm which standard the supplier's R-number is registered against. During the concurrent running window, R-numbers issued against IS 13252 (Part 1):2010 or IS 616:2017 remain valid until 01 November 2028; after that date both standards are withdrawn and IS 18112:2022 (or IS/IEC 62368 Part 1:2023) becomes the sole basis.

3
Obtain a valid DGFT import licence for any wireless-embedded television, or an Equipment Type Approval certificate generated through the Saralsanchar portal for licence-exempt wireless equipment. Apply to the Wireless Planning and Coordination wing at least 30 days before the shipment's arrival.

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 alongside the BIS R-number.
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 licence or ETA certificate reference, CPCB EPR authorisation number, and BEE labelling compliance reference on the bill of entry. Ensure compliance with CBIC Instruction 27/2025-Cus dated 26-08-2025 and DGFT Notification 13/2024-25 dated 20-05-2024. Customs verifies each against the issuing portal; any one absent, expired, or scope-mismatched triggers consignment detention.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is treating the concurrent-running window as permanent licence-portability. Importers registering new models now against IS 13252 (Part 1):2010 or IS 616:2017 — rather than IS 18112:2022 — face a forced re-registration cycle before 01 November 2028, triggering fresh testing costs and potential consignment detention during the gap. New purchase orders placed today should mandate R-numbers registered against IS 18112:2022 or IS/IEC 62368 Part 1:2023 to avoid that cliff.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 8528 72 14 require BIS certification?

Yes. Television sets of this screen size require Bureau of Indian Standards registration under the Compulsory Registration Scheme against IS 18112:2022 with effect from 26 July 2026, pursuant to S.O. 1248(E) as amended by S.O. 352(E) and S.O. 4997(E).

Are IS 13252 and IS 616 R-numbers still accepted at customs for this screen size?

Yes, during the concurrent running window. R-numbers against IS 13252 (Part 1):2010 and IS 616:2017 remain valid alongside IS/IEC 62368 Part 1:2023 until 01 November 2028, after which both older standards are withdrawn.

Is a separate WPC approval required for television sets with built-in wireless capability?

Yes. Wireless-embedded televisions require either a DGFT import licence from the Wireless Planning and Coordination wing or an Equipment Type Approval certificate generated through the Saralsanchar portal for licence-exempt devices, independent of the BIS Compulsory Registration Scheme obligation.

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

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