The Ministry of Heavy Industries released the Machinery and Electrical Equipment Safety (Omnibus Technical Regulation) Second Amendment Order, 2025. This amendment comes under the BIS Act, 2016. It changes the starting date for mandatory BIS compliance for machinery and electrical equipment. The earlier date of 1st September 2026 has now been replaced.
The new date for enforcement will come through a future notification in the Official Gazette. The amendment supports public safety and standard compliance in India. The Central Government will decide the final date after consultation with BIS. This step ensures better planning for industries and smooth implementation of product safety rules under the Machinery and Electrical Equipment Safety Order.
