BIS Certification for Electric Agricultural Tractors in India (IS 19262:2025)

The Government of India, through the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS), has introduced a dedicated Indian Standard for electric agricultural tractors titled IS 19262:2025 – Electric Agricultural Tractors — Test Code. This standard establishes uniform testing protocols to ensure safety, performance, and reliability of electric tractors used in agricultural operations across India.

The standard was officially released on National Consumer Day 2025 by the Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Food & Public Distribution, marking a major step toward clean, sustainable, and technologically advanced farm mechanization.

Standphill India is a leading BIS certification consultant, providing expert compliance support for manufacturers of electric agricultural tractors as per IS 19262:2025.

What Is BIS Certification for Electric Agricultural Tractors?

BIS Certification for electric agricultural tractors confirms that the tractor conforms to standardized testing procedures related to performance, safety, vibration, power output, and component reliability as prescribed under IS 19262:2025.

This standard applies to tractors powered by electric motors and battery systems instead of conventional diesel engines and provides a scientific basis for evaluating their operational capabilities.

Currently, IS 19262:2025 is voluntary. However, early compliance is strongly recommended as future conformity assessment schemes and regulatory mandates are expected.

Scope of IS 19262:2025 – Electric Agricultural Tractors

The standard establishes detailed test methods and inspection requirements, including:

i. ) Power Take-Off (PTO) power testing

ii. ) Drawbar power performance evaluation

iii. ) Belt and pulley performance testing

iv. ) Vibration measurement

v. ) Verification of technical specifications

vi. ) Inspection of critical components and assemblies

The standard draws technical guidance from IS 5994:2022 – Agricultural Tractors — Test Code and relevant Automotive Industry Standards for electric vehicles, suitably adapted for agricultural use.

Why BIS Compliance for Electric Agricultural Tractors Is Important

Compliance with IS 19262:2025 offers significant regulatory and commercial advantages:

i. ) Ensures standardized safety and performance benchmarks

ii. ) Builds farmer and consumer confidence

iii. ) Supports eligibility for government procurement and pilot schemes
