Today, we’re focusing on IS/IEC 60947: Part 4: Section 2: 2020, which brings semiconductor motor controllers, starters, and soft starters under the scope of mandatory BIS Scheme X certification.

These components are essential in modern motor control systems, offering smoother operation, energy efficiency, and reduced mechanical stress, especially in high-performance industrial and commercial applications.

This standard covers:

  • Semiconductor motor controllers and starters
  • Soft starters
  • For all product ratings across AC and DC systems

The compliance deadline is 10th November 2025, and while that may seem a while away, the certification process—documentation, product testing, and BIS approvals—takes time. Starting early ensures you avoid supply chain or market entry delays.

If your business deals with these products in the Indian market, Scheme X certification is not just recommended—it’s mandatory for regulatory compliance and continued trust in your product’s performance and safety.
