HSN 8529 90 90 (parts suitable for use solely or principally with television, audio, video and surveillance apparatus) is covered by a Bureau of Indian Standards Quality Control Order. Conformity to IS 302 (Part 1), IS/IEC 62368 (Part 1), IS 13252 (Part 1), or IS 616, depending on product type, is mandatory under the Compulsory Registration Scheme with effect from 09 October 2024.

Compliance steps

1
Identify the applicable Indian Standard before sourcing: IS 302 (Part 1):2008 for power adaptors for household appliances and CCTV cameras/recorders; IS/IEC 62368 (Part 1):2023 for power adaptors for audio, video and similar electronic apparatus. Verify the foreign supplier's BIS R-number on the BIS online register against the correct IS and product model before placing the purchase order.

2
For CCTV cameras added to the compulsory registration schedule, confirm the supplier's R-number against IS/IEC 62368 (Part 1):2023 with effect from 09 October 2024. Test reports from BIS-recognised laboratories are a prerequisite for obtaining the licence; verify that the R-number was issued on the basis of such reports.

Account for the concurrent-running window: for serial no. 65 goods, IS 13252 (Part 1):2010 and IS 616:2017 run concurrently with IS/IEC 62368 (Part 1):2023 until 01 May 2026; for all other goods in the schedule the concurrent window extends until 01 November 2028, after which IS 13252 and IS 616 stand withdrawn. Confirm which window applies to each product model.

A word of counsel

The single most common error on this tariff line is obtaining a BIS R-number against one Indian Standard and then shipping product variants whose specification — or whose updated standard obligation — maps to a different IS entirely. With four applicable standards (IS 302, IS/IEC 62368, IS 13252 and IS 616) in partial concurrent-running, an R-number that was valid for IS 13252 (Part 1):2010 may not cover the same model once it is re-tested under IS/IEC 62368 (Part 1):2023; customs verifies the R-number against the current registered standard, and a standard-mismatch on the BIS portal triggers detention irrespective of the physical mark on the product.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 8529 90 90 require BIS certification?

Yes. Parts within the scope of the Electronics and Information Technology Goods (Requirements for Compulsory Registration) Order, 2021 require an R-number under the Compulsory Registration Scheme against the applicable Indian Standard, with effect from 09 October 2024 for CCTV-related additions under S.O. 1652(E).

Which Indian Standard applies — IS 302, IS/IEC 62368, IS 13252, or IS 616?

The standard is product-specific: IS 302 (Part 1):2008 for power adaptors for household appliances and CCTV cameras/recorders; IS/IEC 62368 (Part 1):2023 for audio and video apparatus adaptors; IS 13252 (Part 1):2010 and IS 616:2017 remain valid during their respective concurrent-running windows before withdrawal.

When do IS 13252 and IS 616 stand withdrawn in favour of IS/IEC 62368?

For serial no. 65 goods, the concurrent window closes 01 May 2026; for all other scheduled goods it closes 01 November 2028, after which IS 13252 (Part 1):2010 and IS 616:2017 are withdrawn per S.O. 4997(E).

Does a single R-number cover all product models supplied by the same manufacturer?

No. The R-number is model-specific and standard-specific; models outside the registered scope, or tested against a different IS, are not covered, and customs will detain any consignment where the declared model does not match the BIS register entry.
