(Ref no.

The amendment focuses on correcting a specific date within a schedule related to that notification. **4. Background and Rationale:** * **Rationale for Amendment:** The amendment suggests that the original date of "12 May 2025" specified in Sl No. 11, column 5 of the schedule was incorrect. This correction ensures the accuracy and validity of the notification. The change from 2025 to 2026 indicates a postponement or a delayed implementation of the original provision. **5.

HQPUB01312020PUBBIS 1088 dated 14 November 2024, Published on 22 November 2024. * **New Rule/Provision:** The date "12 May 2025" is replaced with "12 May 2026." * **Effect of the Change:** This amendment effectively delays the application or enforcement of the provision linked to Sl No. 11, column 5 in the original notification by one year. Any actions, compliance, or deadlines associated with that specific part of the schedule are now shifted to 12 May 2026. **6. Target Audience and Stakeholders:** Based on the provided text, the target audience and stakeholders primarily include: * Businesses and organizations subject to the regulations and standards defined under the Bureau of Indian Standards Rules, 2018, specifically those impacted by Sl No. 11, column 5, within Ref no. HQPUB01312020PUBBIS 1088 dated 14 November 2024, Published on 22 November 2024. * Individuals or entities responsible for ensuring compliance with these standards. **7. Implementation Aspects (Inferred):** * **Responsible Agency:** Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS), Department of Consumer Affairs, Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution. * **Timelines:** The amendment establishes a new date, "12 May 2026," which serves as a revised deadline or implementation date for the provision it affects. **8. Expected Outcomes / Impact of Changes:** * The intended outcome of this amendment is to ensure that the provision in question becomes effective, or requires compliance, on 12 May 2026, instead of the originally stated 12 May 2025. * This change allows stakeholders additional time to prepare for, or comply with, the requirements stipulated in the original notification's Sl No. 11, column 5. * Businesses and organizations impacted will need to adjust their planning and compliance strategies to align with the revised timeline. **9. Conclusion:** The corrigendum issued by the Bureau of Indian Standards modifies a date within a prior notification related to the Bureau of Indian Standards Rules, 2018. This change delays a provision's effective date to 12 May 2026. The amendment is a relatively minor correction with implications for businesses and organizations impacted by that particular provision. Stakeholders must note this date change to ensure compliance and avoid potential penalties.
