The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) has issued a notification ( under Rule 15(1) of the BIS Rules, 2018, announcing the establishment of 10 revised Indian Standards across key sectors including chemicals, manufacturing, workplace safety, information technology, and digital communications.
All revised standards come into effect from 9 June 2025, while the corresponding older standards will be withdrawn on 9 December 2025, providing stakeholders a six-month transition window.
🔍 Key Highlights:
- First-time or second revisions to improve technical accuracy and international alignment.
- Updates impact sectors like explosives, pyrotechnics, telecom cabling, digital communications, air quality, GIS, and IT services.
- Conformance with international standards (ISO, IEC) enables improved global interoperability and export potential.
