BIS Certification for Flashlights – IS 2083:2024 (Made Easy)

BIS Certification for Flashlights – IS 2083:2024 (Made Simple)

What is BIS Certification?

BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards) is a government body that checks whether a product is safe, durable, and reliable for Indian consumers. Once a product passes all required tests, it receives the ISI mark, a symbol of quality and safety.

Why is BIS Certification Now Mandatory for Flashlights?

Flashlights are used in:

• Homes

• Industries

• Emergency and disaster kits

• Hospitals and defense

To ensure that all flashlights in the Indian market are safe and meet minimum performance standards, the Government of India has made BIS certification mandatory under a new standard – IS 2083:2024.

What is IS 2083:2024?

IS 2083:2024 is the Indian Standard for Flashlights. It ensures:

• Battery safety – no overheating or leakage

• Light performance – brightness, beam distance, and run time

• Strong body – shock and water resistance

• Durable switch mechanism

• Proper marking and labeling

This helps consumers get high-quality and reliable flashlights.

When Will It Be Mandatory?

As per the Flashlight Quality Control Order (QCO), 2025:

After these dates, flashlights without ISI mark cannot be sold, imported, or distributed in India.

Who Needs to Get Certified?

• Indian manufacturers

• Importers bringing flashlights to India

• Brands or sellers who want to sell flashlights in the Indian market

If any person or business sells non-certified flashlights, they may face legal action, product seizure, or penalties under the BIS Act, 2016.

Government Fee Concessions for Certification

The Government has introduced helpful fee concessions under Scheme-X for businesses. These are valid till 31 May 2026:

Note: The 10% extra concession for women entrepreneurs is applicable in addition to the main concession based on their business size (micro, small, or medium).

This move helps MSMEs, start-ups, and women entrepreneurs lower their cost of compliance.
