Compliance steps

1
Source only from a Bureau of Indian Standards CM/L-licensed manufacturer holding a current licence against IS 10613 for pedals, crank-gear, and parts thereof. Verify the supplier's CM/L number, licensed product scope, and manufacturing facility on the BIS online register before placing the purchase order.
Bicycles-Retro Reflective Devices (Quality Control) Order, 2023 · S.O. 882(E) dated 23-02-2023 · Scheme-I of Schedule-II of the BIS (Conformity Assessment) Regulations, 2018
2
For retro-reflective devices on bicycles falling within Table 2 of the QCO, confirm the supplier holds a Certificate of Conformity from BIS against Clause 4.14 of IS 10613:2014. This Scheme-IV certification is separate from and additional to the Scheme-I CM/L licence covering the structural components.
Bicycles-Retro Reflective Devices (Quality Control) Order, 2023 · S.O. 882(E) dated 23-02-2023 · Scheme-IV of Schedule-II of the BIS (Conformity Assessment) Regulations, 2018
3
Ensure every pedal, crank-gear unit, and part bears the ISI mark and the supplier's CM/L number in accordance with Scheme-I of Schedule-II to the BIS (Conformity Assessment) Regulations, 2018. Marking must appear on the product itself, not packaging alone.

4
Quote the supplier's BIS CM/L number and, where applicable, the Scheme-IV Certificate of Conformity reference on the bill of entry. Customs verifies both against the BIS register in real time; an absent, expired, or scope-mismatched CM/L triggers consignment detention.

A word of counsel

The single most common error on this tariff line is assuming the Bicycles-Retro Reflective Devices QCO governs only reflective devices and does not extend to structural components such as pedals and crank-gear. The QCO operates on two tracks simultaneously: Scheme-I (CM/L, ISI mark) for components listed in Table 1 — which includes pedals and crank-gear within the IS 10613 scope — and Scheme-IV (Certificate of Conformity against IS 10613:2014 Clause 4.14) for retro-reflective safety requirements. Importers who obtain only the Scheme-IV certificate while ignoring the Scheme-I CM/L obligation ship non-compliant goods into a detention event at port.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 8714 96 00 require BIS certification?

Yes. Pedals, crank-gear, and parts thereof must conform to IS 10613 under the ISI Mark Scheme with effect from 01 July 2023; import is permitted only from manufacturers holding a current BIS CM/L licence covering the relevant product scope and facility.

What is the difference between the Scheme-I and Scheme-IV obligations under this QCO?

Scheme-I (CM/L, ISI mark) covers conformity to the full IS 10613 standard for structural components in Table 1 of the QCO. Scheme-IV (Certificate of Conformity) applies to retro-reflective safety requirements in Table 2 against Clause 4.14 of IS 10613:2014 and is an additional, separate BIS authorisation.

Does IS/ISO 6742-2:2015 apply to pedals and crank-gear specifically?

IS/ISO 6742-2:2015 governs retro-reflective devices for cycles under the same QCO; IS 10613 covers the structural and functional components including pedals and crank-gear. Both standards are invoked by the Bicycles-Retro Reflective Devices (Quality Control) Order, 2023.

Does a single CM/L licence cover all pedal and crank-gear variants from the same manufacturer?

No. The CM/L is scope-specific by product variant, size, and manufacturing facility; variants outside the licensed scope or from an unlicensed plant are not covered, and customs detains the consignment on a scope mismatch.
