India — E-Waste Rules and BIS Certification

India's E-Waste (Management) Rules impose extended producer responsibility on those placing electrical and electronic equipment on the market, including registration, collection targets and reporting through a central portal, together with substance restrictions modelled on RoHS. Separately, the Bureau of Indian Standards operates a compulsory registration scheme for listed electronic products, requiring testing in an Indian laboratory. The two are administered by different bodies and neither satisfies the other.

What it obliges you to do

  • Register as a producer and meet annual EPR collection targets
  • Demonstrate reduction-of-hazardous-substances conformity for in-scope equipment
  • Obtain BIS registration for products on the compulsory registration list
  • File returns on the prescribed portal and cycle

Latest activity

No machine-readable feed reaches India E-Waste / BIS yet. We ingest the US Federal Register and legislation.gov.uk; neither carries instruments under this name, and the EU publishers that would — ECHA, EUR-Lex, the Commission — refuse automated requests. The primary sources above are the record to watch. This is a gap in available feeds, not an indication that nothing is changing.

Does India E-Waste / BIS actually apply to your products?

Scope is the part a summary cannot answer. Send us your product families and target markets and a steward will tell you which obligations attach, what evidence you would need, and what is already covered by declarations you hold.
