Compliance steps

1
Verify the supplier's BIS Compulsory Registration Scheme R-number on the BIS portal against the applicable IS: IS 16102 Part 1:2012 for self-ballasted LED lamps, and the relevant section of IS 10322 Part 5 for the specific luminaire type (fixed general-purpose, recessed, road, flood, hand lamp, lighting chain, or emergency). The R-number must be model-specific and current on the shipping bill date.

2
Confirm which IS 10322 Part 5 section governs the consignment: Section 1 (fixed general-purpose), Section 2 (recessed), Section 3 (road and street), Section 5 (flood lights), Section 6 (hand lamps), Section 7 (lighting chains), or Section 8 (emergency lighting). The R-number must cover that specific section; a registration against a different section does not carry over.

3
Ensure every unit bears the BIS Standard Mark under the supplier's current R-number licence, applied per Scheme II of Schedule II of the BIS (Conformity Assessment) Regulations, 2018. The marking must appear on the product itself; marking on packaging alone does not satisfy the statutory requirement.

4
Quote the BIS R-number on the bill of entry and ensure compliance with General Note 2(C) of the Import Policy and DGFT Notification 13/24-25 dated 20-05-2024 with respect to paragraph 2.31(1)(b) of the Foreign Trade Policy 2023. Customs verifies the R-number in real time; an absent, expired, or scope-mismatched registration triggers consignment detention.

5
Ensure compliance with CBIC Instruction 27/2025-Cus dated 26-08-2025 at the time of filing the bill of entry. Verify the current requirements under paragraphs 1 to 4 of that instruction and incorporate any documentary obligations it specifies into the import file.

A word of counsel

The most common failure on this tariff line is treating BIS registration as a single R-number obligation when IS 10322 Part 5 is segmented into eight product-specific sections. An R-number registered against Section 1 (fixed general-purpose luminaires) does not cover a recessed fitting under Section 2 or a road luminaire under Section 3; customs detects the mismatch against the BIS register and detains the consignment. Verify the supplier holds a current, model-specific R-number against the exact IS 10322 Part 5 section that matches the physical product in the consignment before the purchase order is placed.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 9405 61 00 require BIS certification?

Yes. LED luminaires and lighting fittings under this tariff line require Bureau of Indian Standards Compulsory Registration Scheme R-number registration against IS 16102 or the applicable section of IS 10322 Part 5, with effect from 18 March 2021 under S.O. 1248(E).

Does one R-number cover all LED luminaire types from the same manufacturer?

No. The R-number is model-specific and IS-section-specific; a registration under IS 10322 Part 5 Section 1 does not cover recessed, road, flood, hand lamp, lighting chain, or emergency luminaires, each of which requires a separate registration under the corresponding section.

Which IS standard applies to self-ballasted LED lamps versus LED luminaire fittings?

Self-ballasted LED lamps for general lighting services must conform to IS 16102 Part 1:2012. LED luminaire fittings — fixed, recessed, road, flood, hand lamp, lighting chain, and emergency — must conform to the relevant section of IS 10322 Part 5.

Is the BIS R-number facility-specific as well as model-specific?

Yes. A CRS R-number is issued for a specific model produced at a specific manufacturing facility; units of the same model from a different plant are not covered by the same registration.
