Sector-wise Highlights
Homoeopathy Standards Updated
The homoeopathy sector gets three new standards. These focus on mother tincture production using the percolation method, specifications for Holarrhena antidysenterica extract, and quality norms for sugar of milk. These amendments aim to improve purity, consistency, and pharmaceutical reliability in homeopathic medicines.
Strong Push to Cybersecurity & Privacy
BIS has issued four standards linked to information security and privacy. The revised IS/ISO/IEC 27019 introduces upgraded cybersecurity controls for energy utilities.
Other standards cover network virtualization security, IoT security and privacy, and privacy engineering. These updates will help protect critical infrastructure, smart devices, and personal data in an increasingly digital environment.
Digital Audio Interface Standards Revised
Three new audio-related standards align India’s technical framework with global IEC guidelines. They focus on consumer digital audio interfaces, professional audio system parameters, and updated metadata and electrical specifications.
This confirms better device compatibility, stability, and performance across audio platforms.
Wind Energy Sector Strengthened
Two new standards support India’s push towards renewable energy. They cover the measurement of electrical characteristics in wind farms and guidelines for marking and lighting wind turbines. These updates enhance plant safety and support smooth grid integration.
Overall Impact of the Amendment
The new BIS standards bring broader benefits across industries. They support global harmonisation, enhance cybersecurity measures, boost consumer safety, and promote better renewable energy management.
The dual-validity timeline until April 2026 gives companies enough room to shift to the updated framework without disruption.
The notification ensures India stays aligned with fast-changing international technical practices.
The latest BIS notification marks a significant step in modernising India’s technical landscape. With clearer rules and global alignment, industries can upgrade systems, boost safety, and prepare for future-ready compliance.
