Detailed Summary

The Bureau of Indian Standards (Department of Consumer Affairs) issued the Bureau of Indian Standards (Conformity Assessment) Amendment Regulations, 2026, on February 25, 2026, under F. No. BS/XI/11/01/2025-26. These regulations, effective upon publication in the Official Gazette, amend the principal Bureau of Indian Standards (Conformity Assessment) Regulations, 2018, which were originally published on June 4, 2018 (F.No. BS/11/11/2018) and last amended on August 23, 2024 (F.No. BS XI/11/01/2024). The amendments, made under sections 12, 13, and 39 of the Bureau of Indian Standards Act, 2016 (11 of 2016), primarily introduce new provisions for the payment of annual fees in advance for both the grant and continuation/renewal of licenses and certificates of conformity (Regulations 5, 6, 8, 13, 14, 16). Key changes include the suspension of licenses/certificates for 90 days if annual fees with production statements are not received by the due date, with revocation possible within this period upon payment of dues plus a late fee of rupees five thousand, failing which cancellation occurs (Regulations 8, 16). A 21-day notice is generally required for suspension or cancellation, but this is waived for non-payment of annual fees. Schedule-II is significantly amended, introducing ten conformity assessment schemes categorized by site assessment. Scheme-II, specifically, is entirely substituted to detail a 'Self-Declaration of Conformity' scheme for products, outlining processes for application, testing by third-party laboratories, surveillance, complaint handling, and a revised fee structure. This includes an application/annual/renewal fee of rupees one thousand, an annual processing fee of rupees twenty five thousand, and specific concessions for micro, small, and medium enterprises (80%/50%/20% until May 31, 2029, then 20% from June 1, 2029). It also specifies labelling requirements, validity periods (initial grant and renewal up to five years), and various forms for application, undertakings, and changes in licence scope or details. Scheme-IV and Scheme-VII also see amendments to fee concessions and validity periods, with Scheme-VII stipulating an annual fee of rupees fifty thousand for large industries and a 20% concession for MSMEs, and an automatic cancellation clause if requirements are amended.
