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 and IS 18112:2022 before placing the purchase order. The R-number must be model-specific, facility-specific, and current on the date of the shipping bill.

2
Confirm that the concurrent-running window applies to the consignment: IS 13252 (Part 1):2010 and IS 616:2017 run concurrently with IS/IEC 62368 (Part 1):2023 until 01-11-2028 for television sets in this category. After 01-11-2028 IS 13252 (Part 1):2010 and IS 616:2017 are withdrawn; ensure R-numbers are migrated to IS/IEC 62368 (Part 1):2023 before that date.

3
Obtain a valid DGFT import licence before shipment: import of colour television sets in this screen-size band is restricted under DGFT Notification 22/2015-20. Separately, if the set incorporates wireless functionality, obtain Equipment Type Approval or an ETA certificate via the Saralsanchar portal; apply at least 30 days before the expected arrival date.

4
Obtain Extended Producer Responsibility authorisation from the Central Pollution Control Board before import, unless the importer is a micro enterprise as defined under the MSMED Act, 2006. Quote the EPR authorisation number on the bill of entry.

5
Quote the BIS R-number, the DGFT import licence number, the WPC ETA certificate reference (if applicable), and the CPCB EPR authorisation number on the bill of entry. Ensure compliance with BEE (Appliance Labelling and Compliance) Regulations, 2026 and CBIC Instruction 27/2025-Cus dated 26-08-2025.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is assuming that a supplier's existing BIS R-number against IS 13252 (Part 1):2010 or IS 616:2017 fully covers shipments after the IS/IEC 62368 (Part 1):2023 enforcement date of 26 July 2026. The concurrent-running window ending 01-11-2028 permits both standards only while both R-numbers remain valid; a supplier who has not yet obtained the IS/IEC 62368 (Part 1):2023 R-number but whose legacy-standard R-number has lapsed leaves the consignment unregistered and subject to detention at port — the window is not a grace period for unlicensed product.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 8528 72 15 require BIS certification?

Yes. Colour television sets in this screen-size band must conform to IS/IEC 62368 (Part 1):2023 and IS 18112:2022 under the Compulsory Registration Scheme with effect from 26 July 2026; only manufacturers holding current, model-specific BIS R-numbers may supply product for import into India.

Is a DGFT import licence required separately from the BIS R-number?

Yes. Import of colour television sets in this screen-size range is restricted under DGFT Notification 22/2015-20; a DGFT import licence must be obtained before shipment, independently of BIS Compulsory Registration Scheme compliance.

Do concurrent-running standards IS 13252 (Part 1):2010 and IS 616:2017 remain valid after 26 July 2026?

Yes, until 01 November 2028 for television sets in this category, provided the supplier holds a valid and current R-number against those standards. Both standards are withdrawn on 01-11-2028; after that date only IS/IEC 62368 (Part 1):2023 and IS 18112:2022 remain operative.

Does a single BIS R-number cover all screen sizes and model variants from the same manufacturer?

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