BIS Issues Corrigendum Extending Compliance Deadline to August 2026

The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS), which operates under the Department of Consumer Affairs, issued a corrigendum on 15 May 2026, amending earlier notifications that were published in the Gazette of India under the Bureau of Indian Standards, BIS Rules, 2018.

The amendment also revises the withdrawal date mentioned in earlier BIS notifications bearing reference numbers HQ-PUB013/1/2020-PUB-BIS (1088) dated 14 November 2024 and HQ-PUB-BIS (1312) dated 14 August 2025. As per the corrigendum, the date specified in Serial Number 06, Column (5) of the schedule has been changed from 12 February 2026 to 12 August 2026. 

The extension also provides industries and stakeholders additional time to transition and comply with the updated Indian Standards before the earlier standards are formally withdrawn. The move is also expected to ease compliance challenges and ensure smoother implementation of revised quality and regulatory requirements.

BIS issued the corrigendum in exercise of its powers under Rule 15(1) of the BIS Rules, 2018.
