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 nine Indian Standards effective from March 20, 2026, in accordance with the BIS Rules, 2018. This notification includes revisions to existing safety and industrial standards as well as the introduction of new environmental and footwear testing protocols. Existing standards being replaced will remain in concurrent force until their final withdrawal deadline on September 20, 2026.
**Key Points / Main Content**
**Establishment and Revisions**
* **Revised Standards:** Four existing standards regarding Chlorine safety, Air Pollution (Ammonia) measurement, PVC outsoles, and Ceramic Fibre testing have been revised (First Revision).
* **New Standards:** Five new standards have been established covering water quality sampling, environmental radioactivity (Radon-222), and chemical testing for footwear.
* **Effective Date:** All listed standards were established on March 20, 2026.
* **Concurrent Period:** For revised standards, the previous versions will remain valid alongside the new versions until the designated withdrawal date.
**Safety and Industrial Standards**
* **IS 4263:2026:** Updated Code of Safety for Chlorine, replacing the 1967 version.
* **IS 6719:2026:** Updated specifications for Moulded PVC Unit Outsoles, replacing the 1972 version.
* **IS 14656:2026:** Updated methods of test for Ceramic Fibre Products, replacing the 1999 version.
**Environmental and Measurement Standards**
* **Air Pollution (IS 5182 Part 25):** Revised methods for measurement of Ammonia in air pollution.
* **Water Quality (IS 17614 Part 27):** New guidance on sampling for oceanic carbon dioxide system parameters.
* **Radioactivity (IS 18066):** New standards for measuring Radon-222 in the environment using both integrated (Part 4) and spot (Part 6) measurement methods.
**Footwear Material Testing**
* **Hazardous Substances:** New standards established to quantitatively determine Dimethylformamide (IS 19627) and Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (IS 19628) in footwear materials.
**Impact Analysis**
**Industrial Manufacturers (Chlorine, PVC, Ceramics)**
* **Impact:** These stakeholders are affected by the first revision of safety codes and product specifications.
* **Action Required:** They must transition their safety protocols and manufacturing specifications to align with the 2026 standards before the September 20, 2026, withdrawal of previous versions.
**Environmental Monitoring and Testing Agencies**
* **Impact:** New protocols are introduced for air pollution (ammonia), water quality (oceanic CO2), and environmental radioactivity (Radon-222).
* **Action Required:** Labs and monitoring agencies must adopt the new sampling and measurement methodologies outlined in IS 17614 and IS 18066.
**Footwear Industry and Testing Laboratories**
* **Impact:** Introduction of specific quantitative test methods for critical substances (DMF and PAHs) in footwear components.
* **Action Required:** Quality control departments and laboratories must implement the testing procedures specified in IS 19627:2026 and IS 19628:2026 to ensure compliance with hazardous substance limits.
**Regulatory and Certification Bodies**
* **Impact:** Responsibility for overseeing the transition from old to new standards.
* **Action Required:** Ensure that all certification and auditing processes reflect the 2026 revisions and that old standards are phased out by the September deadline.
