Today’s highlight is on proximity switches—a key category of control circuit devices and switching elements that are widely used in automation and industrial control systems.

These fall under the scope of IS/IEC 60947: Part 5: Section 2: 2007, a standard that outlines safety, construction, and performance requirements for proximity switches used in low-voltage switchgear and controlgear.

Whether inductive, capacitive, or photoelectric, proximity switches are essential in sensing and control operations where contactless switching is needed.

The compliance deadline is 10th November 2025, and while that may seem like there’s time, don’t underestimate the steps involved— testing, documentation, and BIS approvals can take longer than expected.

If your business manufactures or imports proximity switches in India, getting Scheme X certification is not just a requirement—it’s a step toward ensuring product credibility, market access, and regulatory alignment.
