Extended Deadlines for BIS-ISI Certification of Indian Chemicals: Key Updates for Exporters

The Indian Chemicals and Petrochemicals Department (DCPC) has amended multiple Quality Control Orders (QCOs) to enhance chemical product standardization, extending compliance deadlines for critical substances. Affected products now include Anhydrous Sodium Tripolyphosphate, Polyurethanes, and Polycarbonate, with revised timelines for mandatory BIS-ISI Certification implementation. Export enterprises should note these updated deadlines to maintain market access.  

Revised Implementation Timeline

The updated QCO compliance schedule appears below:

Important Notes:

1. QCOs apply exclusively to chemicals sold domestically in India

2. Export-focused production remains exempt

3. Foreign manufacturers must complete BIS-ISI Certification prior to Indian market entry

4. Each substance requires separate compliance with relevant Indian standards
