The Government of India has taken a significant step towards ensuring quality and safety in consumer products by introducing the Flashlight (Quality Control) Order, 2024. This regulation mandates that all flashlights sold in the Indian market must conform to IS 2083 standards and obtain certification from the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). This move aims to eliminate substandard products, safeguard consumers, and foster trust in the market.
What is IS 2083?
IS 2083 is a comprehensive standard specifying the requirements and tests for flashlights, ensuring high quality, safety, and reliability. It applies to:
- Power Source: Flashlights powered by replaceable primary batteries or replaceable/built-in secondary batteries, with a maximum voltage of 48 V DC.
- Types of Flashlights: Includes both pre-focused and focusing-type flashlights.
- Light Source: Covers flashlights with incandescent bulbs and modern LED modules.
These standards ensure that flashlights meet stringent criteria for performance, durability, and safety, providing consumers with reliable and efficient products.
Mandatory BIS Certification
Under the Flashlight (Quality Control) Order, 2024, BIS certification is now mandatory for all flashlights. This ensures:
- Consumer Safety: Products are rigorously tested for safety and functionality.
- Uniform Quality: Prevents substandard products from entering the market.
- Market Competitiveness: Encourages manufacturers to adhere to global standards.
Non-compliance with this order can result in penalties, including product recalls and prohibition from sale.
