The Central Government has issued an amendment to the Tin Ingot (Quality Control) Order, 2025 under the Bureau of Indian Standards Act, 2016. This step has been taken after due discussion with the Bureau of Indian Standards to serve public interest and ensure better regulatory clarity.
The amendment has amended the commencement clause of the earlier order. Originally, the order was to come into force from the date of publication in the Official Gazette. However, the updated provision now states that the Tin Ingot (Quality Control) Order, 2025, will formally come into force from April 17, 2026.
This change provides a clear timeline for industry stakeholders, including manufacturers, suppliers, and importers, to comply with the mandatory standards. By permitting additional time before implementation, the government aims to facilitate implementation and ensure compliance without disruption to trade and the supply chain.
The amendment shows the government’s approach of balancing regulatory enforcement with practical considerations for industry readiness.
