On August 16, 2017, the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology of India issued a notice to add 13 types of electronic products to the BIS compulsory certification system. The products involved LED lamps, home appliances, smart watches and other products. This notice is scheduled to be enforced six months after the announcement, that is, February 16, 2018.
The so-called BIS certification is the ISIS certification and certification agency The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS), specifically responsible for product certification. Since the Indian Standards Association, the predecessor of BIS, began product certification in 1955, Indian product certification has been 50 years old. At present, BIS has issued more than 30,000 product certification certificates covering almost every industrial field such as agricultural products, textiles and electronics.
It is understood that the Indian import product certification project was originally a voluntary certification, but on January 28, 2004, the General Administration of Foreign Trade of the Ministry of Commerce and Industry of India issued Circular No. 29, which stipulates that all products imported within the scope of 109 mandatory import certification products of the Indian Bureau of Standards, foreign countries. The manufacturer or importer of India must first apply to the Indian Bureau of Standards (BIS) for an import product certification, and the customs will release the imported goods based on the certificate.
As of August 16, the BIS certification scope has undergone two rounds of updates. Among them, the products related to lighting include: tungsten filament lamps, self-ballasted bulbs, DC or AC LED modules, self-ballasted LED lamps, LED lamps, etc.
India has always been an important overseas market for the export of LED lighting products in China. The data shows that the growth rate of China's total exports of LED lighting products to India has been growing at a high speed in 2011-2015. In 2015, China's exports of LED lighting products in India totaled 200 million US dollars, an increase of 42.1% over the same period of 2014.
Although the LED lighting market in India is promising, the threshold is not low. Chinese lighting products need to complete BIS certification, and the certification costs a lot, up to 20,000 yuan to 30,000 yuan.
This time, 13 categories of electronic products such as LED lamps will continue to be included in compulsory certification, which will have a greater impact on China's export of Indian lighting products.
