The document corresponds to the guidelines issued by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) on the implementation of the new BIS standard for LED Modules.

This update regulates the safety and performance requirements applicable to LED modules, defining guidelines for both licensed manufacturers and new applicants.

The text establishes that both standards (the 2012 and 2025) may coexist only until January 21, 2026. After that date, the 2012 version will be void, and all products must comply with the 2025 revision.

WHOM DOES IT IMPACT?

The direct impact is on LED module manufacturers, importers, luminaire assemblers, and testing laboratories.

CONCLUSION:

The revision of IS 16103 (Part 1):2025 / IEC 62031:2018 represents a critical transition that redefines the certification requirements for LED modules in India. It requires the industry to update its design, testing, and documentation processes within a limited timeframe to ensure greater safety and international alignment. Compliance will be essential to maintain the validity of licenses and the commercialization of products in the Indian market.
