“In Compliance Magazine” Publishes an Article About Automotive Product Certifications in India
12. February 2020“In Compliance Magazine” published an English-language article on January 31, 2020 about the necessary certifications for Automotive products to be imported into India. The article was conceived by Julian Busch, Managing Director of MPR International GmbH. The article can be found here.
The Indian import and product quality standard regulations have changed dramatically over the past 30 years and continue to change at an ever-increasing rate. Over the past five years, the government’s “Made in India” campaign and its policies have brought about many new standards for a range of industries, including for the Automotive sector.
The most important product certifications in India are:
- Automotive Industry Standard (AIS) for vehicles and automotive components
- Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) certification for electrical equipment
- Wireless Planning and Coordination (WPC) certification for wireless products
- Telecommunication Engineering Center (TEC) certification for telecommunication and IT
While these different categories are institutionally separated, more than one of them might apply to any given product, depending on the type (e.g. a cordless phone for a car might fall under AIS, WPC and TEC). The article goes into more depth on each of these different certifications.
One of the key conclusions of the article is that the market has developed dramatically, but continues to do so at an ever-increasing pace. Almost on a monthly basis, new items are added to the existing lists of certification mandatory products, so it is vital to observe market development carefully to stay on top of all the changes.

The article also concludes that the government’s policies will improve conditions for foreign manufacturers to import their products into India. With a growing middle class, everything looks set for a strong growth in opportunities as well.
