India for several product categories. The impact also affects foreign companies exporting to the Indian market and concerns, among others, certain hand tools and equipment, aluminum products, and a broad category of electrical appliances intended for household, commercial, or similar applications.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">For the products concerned, compliance with the applicable Indian Standards and obtaining the relevant BIS certification are not merely administrative procedures: they are a necessary condition for importing and marketing the product in India.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">For Italian companies already present on the Indian market, or planning to export to India in the coming months, it is therefore essential to promptly verify the applicability of the new QCOs to their products, identify the correct Indian Standard and, when necessary, initiate the certification process with the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) in good time.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">In this article, we analyze what QCOs are, what the main product categories affected by the October 2026 deadlines are, what consequences they may have for Italian companies, and how to properly prepare for BIS certification.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cosa_sono_i_Quality_Control_Orders_QCO_in_India\"><\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">What are Quality Control Orders (QCO) in India?<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134245418&quot;:true,&quot;134245529&quot;:true,&quot;335559738&quot;:160,&quot;335559739&quot;:80}\">\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">I <\/span><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Quality Control Orders<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> these are measures issued by the various Ministries and Departments of the Government of India with the aim of making compliance of specific product categories mandatory for <\/span><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Indian Standards<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> defined by <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/octagona.com\/en\/india-2026-real-opportunities-to-enter-and-grow-in-the-indian-market-now-the-worlds-fourth-largest-economy\/\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Bureau of Indian Standards<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\">.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">La <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/octagona.com\/en\/sell-india-encore-certification\/\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">BIS certification<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> It is indeed generally voluntary, but it becomes mandatory when a product is included in a specific QCO.
