BIS Extends Implementation Deadline for Revised IS 6315:2025 Till 20 May 2027 – Complete Update (2026)

The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) has issued an important compliance update for manufacturers and license holders of Hydraulically Regulated Floor Springs. According to the latest circular issued by the Central Marks Department-III (CMD-III), the implementation deadline for the revised Indian Standard IS 6315:2025 has been extended from 20 May 2026 to 20 May 2027.

This extension provides additional time for existing BIS licensees and new applicants to align their products and manufacturing processes with the revised standard. Businesses manufacturing or supplying hydraulically regulated floor springs should use this extension period wisely to ensure compliance before the revised deadline.

In this article, we explain the latest BIS notification, the reason for the extension, who it affects, and what manufacturers should do next.

What is the Latest BIS Update?

On 15 July 2026, the Central Marks Department-III (CMD-III) released an official circular announcing the extension of the implementation date for the revised IS 6315:2025 – Hydraulically Regulated Floor Springs.

Previously, manufacturers were required to implement the revised standard by 20 May 2026. However, after reviewing the current implementation status among licensees, the Competent Authority decided to extend the deadline by one year to 20 May 2027.

What is IS 6315:2025?

IS 6315:2025 is the revised Indian Standard applicable to Hydraulically Regulated Floor Springs used in commercial, residential, and industrial buildings.

These products play an important role in:

• Glass door installations
• Aluminium door systems
• Commercial buildings
• Hospitals
• Hotels
• Shopping malls
• Office complexes
• Institutional buildings

Manufacturers holding a BIS licence for these products must ensure that their products comply with the latest revision of the Indian Standard before the revised implementation deadline.

Why Has BIS Extended the Deadline?

According to the official circular, the extension has been granted after considering the present status of implementation of IS 6315:2025 by existing licensees.

The extension provides manufacturers with additional time to:

• Upgrade manufacturing processes
• Align product specifications with the revised standard
• Complete product testing
• Update quality control systems
• Maintain uninterrupted BIS certification compliance

New Implementation Timeline

Who Will Be Affected?

The revised notification applies to:

• Existing BIS License Holders
• Manufacturers of Hydraulically Regulated Floor Springs
• New BIS Applicants
• Importers dealing with certified products
• Testing laboratories involved in BIS certification

Regional and Branch Offices have also been instructed to immediately inform all licensees and applicants about the revised implementation date.

What Should Manufacturers Do Now?

Although BIS has extended the deadline, manufacturers should not postpone compliance activities.

Recommended actions include:

• Review the revised IS 6315:2025 requirements.
• Upgrade product design and technical specifications where required.
• Conduct testing as per the revised standard.
• Update internal quality management systems.
• Coordinate with BIS-approved laboratories.
• Ensure compliance well before 20 May 2027.

Early implementation helps avoid last-minute compliance issues and ensures uninterrupted certification.

Existing BIS Conditions Remain Unchanged

The BIS notification clearly states that only the implementation deadline has been extended.

All other terms and conditions issued under the earlier CMD-III Circular dated 30 March 2026 remain unchanged. Manufacturers must continue following the existing compliance requirements until full implementation of the revised standard.

Why This Update Matters

This extension is beneficial because it:

• Gives manufacturers additional preparation time.
• Reduces the risk of non-compliance.
• Supports smooth transition to the revised Indian Standard.
• Helps maintain product quality and certification continuity.
• Prevents disruption in manufacturing and market supply.

However, businesses should treat this as an opportunity to complete compliance early rather than waiting until the final deadline.

Conclusion

The BIS extension of the implementation deadline for revised IS 6315:2025 until 20 May 2027 provides much-needed relief for manufacturers of Hydraulically Regulated Floor Springs. While the additional time allows businesses to prepare for the revised requirements, it should not be viewed as a reason to delay compliance.

Manufacturers and BIS license holders should begin reviewing the revised standard, upgrade their manufacturing processes where necessary, and complete testing well before the new deadline to ensure uninterrupted certification and market access.
