What Is BIS Scheme X Certification?

BIS Scheme X is a regulatory compliance framework introduced under the Machinery & Electrical Equipment Safety (Omnibus Technical Regulation) Order, 2024, by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS).
It mandates certification for machinery and electrical products to ensure safety, performance, and quality conformity.
From 1 September 2026, any equipment or machinery covered under this order must have a valid BIS License or Certificate of Conformity (CoC) before being manufactured, imported, or sold in India.
