This notification, S.O. 3597(E), issued by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy on August 5, 2025, amends the Solar Systems, Devices and Components Goods Order, 2025, originally issued under S.O. 492(E) dated January 27, 2025, which mandated compulsory registration for solar photovoltaic (SPV) products. This notification extends the implementation timeline for SPV inverters with a capacity exceeding 200 kW (item 45 in the original order) until June 30, 2026, or until further orders are issued, whichever is earlier. This extension is granted based on self-certification, provided that manufacturers possess valid IEC certificates corresponding to Indian standards IS 16221 Part 2: 2015 (IEC 621092: 2011) and ISIEC 61683: 1999 for item No. 4 and IS 16221 Part 2: 2015 (IEC 621092: 2011), IS 16169: 2019 (IEC 62116: 2014), and IS 17980: 2022(IEC 62891:2020) for item No. 5, as specified in the original order, and can provide test reports from accredited test labs. The purpose of this extension is to address the limited availability of testing facilities and to provide manufacturers with additional time to achieve compliance. The notification is issued under the authority of the Bureau of Indian Standards Act, 2016 (11 of 2016). Contact information for further inquiries is F. No. 2231402017R and D COORD.
