The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS), under the Department of Consumer Affairs, has notified the establishment of eight new Indian Standards across various sectors, effective from October 15, 2025. This move aligns with the continuous effort to update and modernize quality and safety benchmarks across the nation.
The standards were established in pursuance of Sub-rule (1) of Rule (15) of the Bureau of Indian Standards Rules, 2018. Several existing standards will remain concurrently in force for a six-month transition period before their withdrawal.

Transition Details
The notification specifies that older standards, including IS 629 : 2013 for bicycle hub assembly and several textile-related standards, will be withdrawn on April 15, 2026. Until this date, both the established 2025 standards and the older versions will remain in force concurrently, providing industries with time to adapt to the updated specifications.
The newly established standards also include two crucial benchmarks for digital security: IS 19278 (Part 1) : 2025, which details the procedures for the creation and validation of AdES Digital Signatures, and IS 19332 : 2025, which provides the framework for standardizing signatures, along with definitions and abbreviations.
