The order was originally scheduled to take effect on March 17, 2025, but a revised timeline for its enforcement has now been announced. 

  • Revised Implementation Date: March 19, 2026  

All the manufacturers for household/commercial and similar electrical appliances (up to 250 V/480 V, AC/DC or battery-operated) ensure BIS certification under IS 302 (Part 1): 2024 to leverage the extension.
