Compiled from the official BIS “Upcoming QCOs — notified and due for implementation” list. Enforcement dates are extended from time to time — always verify against the latest gazette notification before making compliance decisions.
QCO FAQs
What is a Quality Control Order (QCO)?
A QCO is a government order that makes BIS certification mandatory for a product. Once a QCO's enforcement date passes, the product cannot be manufactured, imported, stored or sold in India without the ISI mark or CRS registration.
When should I start the certification process for an upcoming QCO?
Start 3-6 months before the enforcement date. ISI licences involve documentation, lab testing and a factory inspection, and labs get congested as deadlines approach. Starting early avoids stock-outs and import blockages.
Do enforcement dates ever change?
Yes — enforcement dates are extended from time to time, often with separate timelines for small and micro enterprises. We track the official BIS list, but always verify against the latest gazette notification before making final decisions.
What happens if I keep selling after the enforcement date without certification?
Selling a QCO-notified product without BIS certification violates the BIS Act, 2016 — penalties include stock seizure, fines and marketplace delisting. Imports can be held at customs.
