BIS Scheme-X Certification - Overview
The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) has introduced Scheme X Certification, an exclusive regulatory framework ensuring the safety, quality, and conformity of machinery and electrical equipment in India. Launched on 16th March 2022, this scheme is part of the BIS Conformity Assessment Regulations, 2018, and is specifically designed for industries dealing with electrical motors, transformers, power generators, pumps, compressors, welding machines, elevators, escalators, cranes, conveyors, and more.
The Ministry of Heavy Industries mandated the certification through the Omnibus Technical Regulation Order, 2024, requiring all manufacturers—domestic and foreign—to comply with Indian standard requirements under Scheme X Certification by 28th August 2025. This initiative aims to enhance safety practices, improve industrial efficiency, and reduce risks across multiple sectors.
Types of BIS Scheme X Certification
BIS Scheme X offers two certification types, providing flexibility to manufacturers:
- License for Continuous Production: Applicable for manufacturers producing machinery or electrical equipment continuously. Allows the use of the Standard Mark on all certified products for uninterrupted manufacturing and sale in India.
- Certificate of Conformity (CoC) for Batch Production: Suitable for one-time or batch production. The CoC number must be displayed on the product or packaging, with a copy provided alongside the product.
Regardless of the type, all manufacturers must register with BIS before obtaining a license or CoC.
Scope of BIS Scheme-X Certification
The scheme targets products requiring compliance with technical expectations outlined in Indian Standards. The BIS Scheme-X Certification primarily covers Machinery and Electrical Equipments. Scheme X Certification ensures compliance with strict safety standards, categorized into:
- Type A Standards (General Safety Standards): These cover principles of safe machinery design, risk assessment, and hazard reduction (e.g., IS 16819:2018/ISO 12100:2010). Applies to products listed in Schedule 1 of the Omnibus Technical Regulation Order, 2024.
- Type B Standards (Specific Safety Requirements): Focuses on safety aspects such as machinery ergonomics and protective devices. Covers products under Schedule 2 of the Omnibus Technical Regulation Order, 2024.
- Type C Standards (Machine-Specific Standards): Provides detailed safety requirements for specific machines. If a Type C standard conflicts with Type A or B, the Type C standard prevails. Covers products in Schedule 3 of the Omnibus Technical Regulation Order, 2024.
