BIS ISI Mark Certification for Flashlights – IS 2083:2024

Flashlights are a common yet critical safety and utility product used in households, industrial settings, emergency kits, and defense. To ensure their quality, durability, and user safety, the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) has introduced a mandatory certification requirement under IS 2083:2024.

Whether you’re a manufacturer or importer, obtaining the ISI mark certification is essential for legal compliance and market acceptance.

IS 2083:2024 is the Indian Standard that sets the performance, safety, and construction requirements for flashlights (torches). It covers:

Build Quality: Body material, sealing, mechanical strength

Battery and Power: Compatibility, safety against leakage or overheating

Light Output: Lumens, beam distance, and runtime

Switch Mechanism: Durability, electrical safety

General Safety: Shock resistance, marking, and labeling

This standard ensures that flashlights sold in India are safe to use, perform as advertised, and meet minimum quality expectations.

As per the latest Quality Control Order (QCO) issued by the Government of India:

Flashlights must be certified under IS 2083:2024 before sale, distribution, or import.

Only flashlights bearing the ISI mark can legally be sold in the Indian market.

Non-compliance can lead to product seizures, fines, and legal penalties under the BIS Act.

The certification is especially critical for brands targeting government tenders, e-commerce platforms, defense supplies, and bulk buyers, who require ISI compliance as a baseline.
