The India MEITY office had held meeting dated 11th July 2025 regarding the implementation of IS/IEC 62368-1: Update the the key highlights of the meeting are as follows: 

1. 

MEITY may release a formal order in the next couple of months, if comments/concerns are submitted within the next two weeks.   

2. 

A 3-year grace/transition period is expected from the date of formal order, during which IS 13252/IS 616 and IS/IEC 62368-1 will run concurrently.   

3. 

All suggestions/recommendations about revised series grouping can be shared within 2 weeks to MEITY.   

4. 

Current discussion suggests all models may require testing under the new standard; however, the industry has proposed testing only lead models.  

5. 

With the new standard implementation, a total of 27 product categories under IS 13252 and 13 under IS 616 are likely to be impacted, which accounts for nearly 50% of registrations.   

6. 

A separate category for AR/VR products is expected under the mandatory scheme of BIS within 6 to 12 months of formal order.  

7. 

Product categories where regulatory overlap exists, like Video conferencing equipment, may cover it exclusively under BIS; a separate order is expected from the Ministry soon.   

8. 

MEITY may consider exemptions for a limited quantity under the old IS 13252/IS 616 standards for after-sales and service products.
