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**
This notification issued by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) on March 17, 2026, announces the establishment of 13 new or revised Indian Standards across various industrial sectors. While the new standards came into effect on March 17, 2026, older versions of specific standards will remain valid concurrently until their final withdrawal date of September 17, 2026.
**Key Points / Main Content**
**Mechanical Tools and Abrasives**
* **Bonded Abrasive Products:** Establishment of IS/ISO 603-16:2022 for cutting-off wheels used on hand-held power tools, replacing the 1999 version.
* **Pipe Wrenches:** Revision of IS 4003 (Part 2):2026 regarding heavy-duty pipe wrench specifications.
**Industrial Bearings and Materials**
* **Roller Bearings:** Updated specifications for single-row cylindrical roller bearings (IS 6457:2026).
* **Plain Bearings:** New standards for thin-walled (IS 10203:2026) and thick-walled bushes (IS 14478:2026), as well as classification for thermoplastic polymers used in plain bearings (IS 15624:2026).
* **Advanced Bearing Standards:** Introduction of standards for the reuse, recycling, and disposal of bearing materials (IS 19730:2026) and fundamental methods for measuring vibration in rolling bearings (IS 19732 Part 1:2026).
**Geosynthetics and Geotextiles**
* **Testing Methods:** Revised standards for determining characteristic opening size (IS 16237:2026) and wide-width tensile testing (IS 16635:2026).
* **New Provisions:** Establishment of test methods for water discharge capacity in prefabricated vertical drains (IS 19663:2026) and guidelines for durability assessment (IS 19664:2026).
**Petroleum and Marine Measurement**
* **Storage Tank Measurement:** Revised procedures for measuring level and temperature in marine vessel storage tanks using automatic methods (IS 17141 Part 5:2026).
**Standard Implementation Rules**
* **Concurrent Validity:** For standards being replaced, the previous versions will remain in force alongside the new versions until September 17, 2026.
* **New Establishments:** Several standards (Items 10, 11, 12, and 13) are entirely new establishments with no previous versions to be withdrawn.
**Impact Analysis**
**Manufacturers and Industrial Suppliers**
**Impact**
Businesses producing pipe wrenches, bearings, abrasive wheels, and geosynthetics must align their manufacturing processes with the updated technical specifications. They have a six-month transition period where both old and new standards are valid.
**Action Required**
Manufacturers must update their quality control systems and production lines to comply with the 2026 revisions before the September 17, 2026, withdrawal deadline for older standards.
**Testing Laboratories and Certification Bodies**
**Impact**
Laboratories must update their testing protocols and equipment to accommodate the new measurement methods, particularly for bearing vibrations and geosynthetic durability.
**Action Required**
Technical staff must be trained on the revised methodologies (e.g., ISO-aligned tests for Geotextiles and Petroleum products) to provide valid certifications under the new standards.
**Petroleum and Marine Shipping Industries**
**Impact**
Operators of marine vessels using automatic storage tank measurement systems are now subject to updated standards for level and temperature measurement.
**Action Required**
Compliance officers must ensure that measurement equipment and reporting on marine vessels meet the requirements of IS 17141 (Part 5):2026.
