BIS product certification chemical authorisation

In April 2021, the Ministry of Chemicals and Fertilizers, Department of Chemicals and Petrochemicals, India, published several orders regarding BIS certification of 13 chemicals (see Table below).

These chemicals are added to the BIS Mandatory Certification list, indicating that manufacturers or importers who place these chemicals in the Indian market would need to comply with BIS and receive a BIS registration certificate before the activity. This requirement applies to both Indian and foreign manufacturers. The order comes into force after 180 days of its publication in the Official Gazette. To take 100 percent Polyester Spun Grey and White Yarn (PSY) as an example, manufacturers or importers would need to comply with BIS after October 13, 2021 (including this date), if they intend to continue using PSY in India.
