IS 3224: 2021 – Postponed Deadline for Updated Standard – Valve Fittings for Compressed Gas Cylinders

2. February 2023

The standard IS 3224:2002, which specifies India’s BIS-ISI certification requirements for valve fittings for compressed gas cylinders (except for LPG) has been revised and published as IS 3224: 2021. The guidelines for implementation of these amendments were stated in Notification No. CMD-III/16: IS 3224 dated January 21, 2022, with an original deadline of  December 22, 2022 for implementation of these amendments. However, this deadline has been pushed up to December 22, 2023 due to increased requests for extensions by many affected manufacturers. The remaining implementation provisions set out in Circular No. CMD-III/16: IS 3224 dated January 21, 2022 remain unchanged.

If the deadline is postponed again, or if there are changes to the content of this and other Indian standards that are relevant for manufacturers, we will publish these in the “News” section of our website.
The Indian Standards IS for short, define the approval regulations as well as product testing requirements for the most common product certifications in India, namely for BIS-ISI certification and BIS-CRS certification. As these standards are updated regularly, it is important to be aware of the current regulations and their implementation deadlines in order to prevent compliance problems in the Indian market.

Since 2012, the BIS has been gradually expanding the certification catalog and continuously adding additional goods. BIS certification mandatory for many electronic products for industrial and consumer uses. Factory inspections are also required for some products.
