The key points covered in the meeting are listed below.

It was advised to STQC to provide visibility to the applicant in terms of the capacity of the lab for handling jobs so that the applicants can select a suitable lab based on its load.

Ministry clarified regarding the use of test reports for PPO and ER-01 that “only the applicants which had applied for testing under PPO before the 14 STQC labs were empanelled under BIS for CRO, only for those companies, the decision was taken that the same test reports can be utilised for registration under CRO on the BIS portal.

Furthermore, in response to the request of manufacturers and applicants, BIS will discuss and clarify the extension of the deadline for the PPO report to be used for the ER from November 25, 2024, to December 31, 2024.

New applicants are suggested to proceed for the ER-01 first and then can use the same test report for the PPO purpose.

If the manufacturers are willing to apply for PPO, they may submit the same test report to STQC separately for issuing a PPO certification after necessary validation by STQC within a week time.

BIS will also issue an SOP for uploading test reports multiple times to resolve the issue of different series guidelines for safety and security ERs for different models. ER guidelines are mainly based on the same SoC, firmware, and PCBA. However, the series of guidelines about IS 13252 (safety standard) are based on power supplies, housing, etc.
