**Executive Summary**
The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) notified amendments to 17 specific Indian Standards on March 25, 2026, in accordance with the Bureau of Indian Standards Rules, 2018. These amendments were established on March 25, 2026, and a transition period has been provided. The existing standards (without these amendments) will remain in force concurrently until September 24, 2026.
**Key Points / Main Content**
**Bitumen and Paving Materials**
* **Paving and Industrial Bitumen:** Amendments have been established for IS 73:2013 (Paving Bitumen), IS 217:2018 (Cutback Bitumen), and IS 702:2022 (Industrial Bitumen).
* **Emulsions and Modifications:** New amendments apply to Bitumen Emulsions for roads (Anionic and Cationic types), Cationic Modified Bitumen Emulsions (IS 17016:2018), and Multi-Grade Bitumen for pavement construction (IS 15808:2008).
* **Additives and Maintenance:** Standards for Anti-Stripping Agents (IS 14982:2022), Crack Sealants (IS 17124:2019), and Rejuvenating Agents for Hot Mix Recycling (IS 17052:2018) have been updated.
* **Testing Protocols:** IS 19008:2023 now includes Amendment No. 1 regarding the determination of bitumen content in paving mixtures.
**Chemicals, Fuels, and Industrial Materials**
* **Automotive Fuels:** Amendment No. 5 was established for IS 17021:2018, covering E 20 Fuel (admixture of anhydrous ethanol and gasoline) for spark-ignited engine vehicles.
* **Battery Components:** IS 3116:2002, regarding bitumen-based sealing compounds for lead-acid batteries, has received its second amendment.
* **Rubber and Oils:** Amendments were established for Styrene-Butadiene Rubber Latex (IS 11356 Part 1) and Oil of Peppermint (IS 16583:2017).
**Agriculture and Food Safety**
* **Crop Protection:** IS 3652:2024, which specifies requirements and test codes for foot-operated sprayers, has been amended.
* **Food Microbiology:** IS 10232:2020 (ISO 6887-1:2017) has been updated with Amendment No. 1, affecting general rules for the preparation of test samples and decimal dilutions for microbiological examination.
**Impact Analysis**
**Manufacturers and Producers**
**Impact**
Manufacturers of bitumen, automotive fuels, lead-acid batteries, and agricultural sprayers are directly affected by updated technical specifications and quality requirements.
**Action Required**
Producers must review the specific amendments (e.g., Amendment No. 5 for E 20 fuel or Amendment No. 4 for Paving Bitumen) and update their production processes to ensure compliance by the September 24, 2026, deadline.
**Construction and Infrastructure Agencies**
**Impact**
Entities involved in road construction and pavement maintenance must adhere to the revised standards for bitumen emulsions, multi-grade bitumen, and rejuvenating agents.
**Action Required**
Procurement departments and site engineers must update their material specifications to include the new amendments for all projects established after the transition period.
**Testing and Certification Bodies**
**Impact**
Laboratories and quality auditors are affected by changes in testing methodologies, particularly for food microbiology and bitumen content determination.
**Action Required**
Testing facilities must calibrate equipment and update internal SOPs to align with the amended versions of the standards to provide valid certification and test reports.
