Important update regarding Indian Standard applicable to all existing Licence holders/ New applicants/ manufacturers/ importers/ product sellers for Lighters- Safety Specifications
To ensure product safety and compliance with international standards, the Ministry of Commerce and Industry (DPIIT) issued the Flame-Producing Lighters (Quality Control) Amendment Order, 2024 on 20th September 2024. This amendment mandates that lighters must conform to Indian Standard IS/ISO 9994:2018 and bear the ISI Mark under a license from the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). This move reinforces the government’s commitment to public safety, product quality, and standardization across industries.

personal and household purposes)
