In pursuance of Sub rule (1) of Rule (15) of the Bureau of Indian Standards Rules, 2018, the Bureau of Indian Standards hereby notifies that Indian standards
**Executive Summary**
The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) has notified the establishment of thirteen new and revised Indian Standards effective from 17 March 2026. Issued under Rule 15 of the BIS Rules, 2018, this notification mandates that for revised standards, the previous versions will remain in force concurrently until their scheduled withdrawal on 17 September 2026.
**Key Points / Main Content**
**Construction and Civil Engineering (Measurement Methods)**
* **IS 1200 (Part 1) : 2026 (Fifth Revision):** Establishes updated methods of measurement for earthwork in building and civil engineering, replacing the 1992 version.
* **IS 1200 (Part 3) : 2026 (Fourth Revision):** Sets new measurement standards for brickwork, replacing the 1976 edition.
* **IS 1200 (Part 4) : 2026 (Fourth Revision):** Updates measurements for stone masonry, replacing the 1976 edition.
* **IS 1200 (Part 9) : 2026 (Third Revision):** Revises measurement methods for roof covering, including cladding, replacing the 1973 version.
**Safety and Fire Detection Systems**
* **IS 2189 : 2026 (Fifth Revision):** Provides an updated code of practice for the selection, installation, and maintenance of automatic fire detection and alarm systems, replacing the 2008 edition.
**Chemical Materials and Components**
* **IS 4456 (Parts 1 & 2) : 2026 (First Revision):** Establishes revised testing methods for chemical-resistant mortars, specifically Silicate/Resin types and Sulphur types, replacing the 1967 versions.
* **IS 5749 : 2026 (First Revision):** Updates specifications for forged ramshorn hooks, replacing the 1970 standard.
**New Metallurgical and Industrial Standards**
* **IS 19559 : 2026:** New specification for hot rolled alloy steel bars.
* **IS 19600 : 2026:** New specification for flexible graphite material used in gaskets and packing.
* **Steel Wire Rope Standards (IS 19745, 19746, 19747):** New standards established for determining transverse rigidity, rotational properties, and the actual modulus of elasticity of steel wire ropes (aligned with ISO standards 16839, 21669, and 12076).
**Impact Analysis**
**Construction and Engineering Firms**
**Impact**
These entities must transition to updated measurement methods for earthwork, masonry, and roofing to ensure compliance with the fifth, fourth, and third revisions of IS 1200.
**Action Required**
Review internal measurement protocols and update project documentation to align with the 2026 standards before the 17 September 2026 withdrawal of older versions.
**Manufacturers of Industrial Components and Steel Products**
**Impact**
Manufacturers of alloy steel bars, forged ramshorn hooks, and steel wire ropes are subject to new or revised specifications (IS 19559, IS 19745-47).
**Action Required**
Ensure manufacturing processes and product specifications meet the criteria defined in the 2026 versions.
**Fire Safety System Providers**
**Impact**
The code of practice for automatic fire detection and alarm systems (IS 2189) has been updated to its fifth revision.
**Action Required**
Update selection, installation, and maintenance procedures to comply with the revised 2026 code of practice.
**Testing and Certification Bodies**
**Impact**
Laboratories and certification agencies must update their testing methodologies for chemical-resistant mortars and mechanical components.
**Action Required**
Adopt the revised testing methods stipulated in IS 4456 and IS 5749 to provide valid certifications post-September 2026.
