Re: [PSES] Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) power supplies have their own BIS accreditation

Hi Chuck,

The answer could be found in Circular no. 2 from September and December 2016, 
explaining power supplies used for servers or storage and all are covered

http://meity.gov.in/writereaddata/files/Circular%201of2016_Power%20Supplies.pdf
http://meity.gov.in/writereaddata/files/Circular%20No.2%20of%202016.pdf

I hope this helps. If you need more support you can also contact me.

Best regards

Greetings from Berkeley,

My company is being asked to add BIS accreditation to “component” power 
supplies.
I am unable to find a reference to this inclusion in the India Gazette, but did 
find the opposite at the FAQ here; http://meity.gov.in/esdm/standards

“The Compulsory Registration Order applies to finished goods and not the spare 
parts, CKD or SKD units.”

Is the requirement for “component” power supplies to have their own BIS 
accreditation in the standards IS 13252 ; IS 616?
Other than the testing lab saying this in a letter I cannot find this 
requirement.

Thank you for the help on this requiring question,

We did see that power supplies need to have their own BIS accreditation, in 
addition to the whole unit as well.

It appears not many power supplies have this BIS accreditation, which seems odd 
as surely quite a lot of products get shipped to India?

You may be right on the frustration point!

Thanks,
Rob.

Be prepared for lots of frustration.

Assuming your product is not HSE (Highly Specialized Equipment) you will have 
to get BIS registration for your product.  This involves (re)testing in India.  
Some familiar NRTLs can do the testing, but it must be in-country (even though 
you may already have CB certification).  The certification process also 
involves providing a lot more information about your production facilities than 
you're used to providing.
Power supplies (AC-DC and DC-DC) now also require separate certifications.

Not very clear on what is actually required.
