BIS Certification for Toys in India | IS 9873 Requirements
Overview of BIS Certification for toys
As per the Toys (Quality Control) order, 2020 issued by the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, DPIIT, toy manufacturing units, including foreign manufacturing units exporting toys to India, are mandatory to obtain BIS certification for toys as per Schedule I and Schedule II of the BIS (Conformity Assessment) Regulations, 2018. The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) has made electric and non-electric toys mandatory to bear the ISI mark. They cannot be manufactured, sold, imported, or distributed in the Indian market without bearing the ISI mark.
Failure to comply with these regulations may result in serious consequences, including criminal liability, possible imprisonment, and heavy fines. The directive, issued by the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, DPIIT, aims to prevent the proliferation of inferior toys in the market. The ISI mark on toys ensures child safety requirements, including physical and mechanical properties, chemical properties, and flammability. Toys must not contain dangerous chemicals such as lead, phthalates, or other toxic substances that can harm children.
