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, all flashlights must obtain BIS certification under IS 2083:2024 before they can be manufactured, imported, sold, or distributed in the Indian market. The regulation makes it mandatory for flashlights to bear the ISI Mark, which signifies compliance with the prescribed Indian quality and safety standards. Any manufacturer, importer, or seller found dealing in non-certified products may face product seizures, monetary penalties, and legal action under the provisions of the BIS Act. BIS certification is particularly important for businesses supplying products to government departments, defense organizations, e-commerce platforms, and bulk procurement agencies, as ISI-marked products are often a mandatory requirement for participation in tenders and large-scale procurement processes.

Products are tested in a BIS-recognized laboratory to ensure they meet the IS 2083:2024 requirements.
