Dichloride, Polycarbonate, and Vinyl Chloride Monomer under the Bureau of
Indian Standards Act, 2016.
The amendments, notified on 16 September 2025, extended the enforcement date of these QCOs to 12 September 2026.

- Vinyl Chloride Monomer (Quality Control) Amendment Order, 2025S.O. 4175(E)
Impact on Industry
These QCOs mandate that the notified chemicals must conform
to Indian Standards and bear the BIS Standard Mark, ensuring quality,
safety, and compliance for domestic use as well as imports.
By extending the deadlines, the government provides additional time for industries and
stakeholders to align with the mandatory certification requirements, facilitating a smoother transition into full compliance.
