    • Dear Reader,

    We hope this email finds you well. We are writing to you with an important update regarding mandatory registration requirements applicable to the manufacture and import of Flux Cored Solder Wire into India.

    Background The Government of India has on 18th September 2023, issued the date of enforcement of the new Quality Control Order for Flux Cored Solder Wire. Producers of this product will now have to obtain BIS certification for their products. The relevant order for Flux Cored Solder Wire is available here.
    Products concerned The date of entry into force of the new Quality Control Order for the following products has been notified:

     

    Product Standard title Date of Enforcement
    Flux Cored Solder Wire 1921:2005 Flux Cored Solder Wire Micro Enterprises Sept 17, 2024.

    Small Enterprises June 17, 2024.

    For all others March 17, 2024.

    Next Steps As per the notifications, producers of these products will now have to secure BIS certification before these orders come into force. Once these orders come into force, both domestic and foreign manufacturers of these products will only be able to export/sell in India with a valid BIS license in place.

    To obtain such a license, both foreign producers and domestic manufacturers of these products would need to submit an application to the BIS seeking certification. Furthermore, the process of certification will also require physical testing and inspection of the relevant products at the factory premises as well as parallel testing by a BIS-authorized laboratory in India to verify the same. BIS certification is a time-consuming process and therefore it is recommended that interested producers make applications for certification at the earliest in cases wherein Quality Control Orders have been issued and are pending enforcement.
