Bearings QCO 2025 - Implementation Deadlines for Cylindrical Roller Bearing Manufacturers
The Bearings (Quality Control) Order, 2025 was issued by DPIIT with the ISI Mark implementation being mandatory across different timelines based on enterprise size. Single Row Cylindrical Roller Bearings is listed at S.No. 5 of the QCO Table - IS 6457:2024. The three-tier implementation timeline recognises the different capacity levels of Indian manufacturers:
Critical Planning Point: The ISI Mark certification process for cylindrical roller bearings takes 4-6 months for Indian manufacturers (testing + factory audit + BIS scrutiny + licence grant). If you wait until the deadline is 2-3 months away, you will not be able to complete certification in time. The safe approach is to start the BIS ISI Mark process at least 6 months before your deadline. Contact Standphill India today to assess your readiness and initiate the process.
The QCO also provides certain exemptions - products manufactured for export only, goods imported as part of a finished product or sub-assembly, goods imported for R&D (up to 200 numbers per year), and goods imported by manufacturers for export-oriented production with appropriate self-declarations are exempt from the mandatory BIS ISI Mark requirement. However, any bearing sold in the Indian domestic market - whether manufactured in India or imported - must carry the ISI Mark from the applicable implementation date.
MSME Benefit - Extended Deadlines AND Up to 80% Off on BIS Marking Fees
Being an MSME under the Bearings QCO 2025 gives you two significant advantages: a longer compliance window (15 months for Small, 18 months for Micro enterprises) AND substantial discounts on BIS ISI Mark marking fees - the per-unit fee paid to BIS based on your annual production or import volume. Below is the standard BIS process for both Indian and foreign manufacturers, followed by the MSME marking-fee concession structure.
How to Claim Your MSME Discount: Submit your Udyam Registration Certificate with your BIS application. The discount applies only to marking fees - not to application, testing, or inspection fees. Standphill India verifies your MSME classification and ensures the correct fee slab is applied from Day 1 of your application.
ISI Mark vs CRS - Why Cylindrical Roller Bearings Use Scheme I (ISI Mark)
Many manufacturers and importers familiar with BIS CRS (used for electronics and IT products) ask whether bearings can be certified under CRS. The answer is no - bearings are exclusively certified under ISI Mark Scheme I. Understanding this difference is critical to filing the correct application and avoiding rejection:
✅ ISI Mark - Scheme I
- Product testing at BIS-recognised lab
- BIS factory audit mandatory
- BIS inspects manufacturing facility
- ISI Mark with CM/L licence number
- Annual renewal with surveillance
- 4-6 months (Indian), 8-14 months (FMCS)
- BIS can conduct surprise factory visits
- Ongoing BIS market surveillance
❌ CRS - Compulsory Registration Scheme
- Product testing only
- No factory audit
- BIS does not visit factory
- CRS Mark with R-Number
- 2-year renewal
- 4-8 weeks (faster)
- Covers electronics, IT, LED products
- Does NOT apply to bearings
ISI Mark for Bearings = Higher Compliance Rigour: The ISI Mark Scheme I for cylindrical roller bearings means BIS physically inspects your factory - verifying not just your product's test results but your manufacturing process, quality systems, in-process inspection capability, and production infrastructure. This is intentional: bearings installed in safety-critical applications (railways, aerospace, mining) demand manufacturing facility compliance, not just product testing. Standphill India prepares manufacturers comprehensively for both the documentation and the physical factory audit.
IS 6457:2024 - What the Standard Specifies for Cylindrical Roller Bearings
IS 6457:2024 - Single Row Cylindrical Roller Bearings - Specification is the latest Indian Standard for this product category, formulated by Technical Committee PGD 13 (Bearings) of the Production and General Engineering Department at BIS.

Industries and Applications Where IS 6457:2024 Bearings Are Critical:
BIS Testing Requirements - What IS 6457:2024 Verifies for Cylindrical Roller Bearings
BIS-recognised laboratories conduct comprehensive testing of cylindrical roller bearings against IS 6457:2024 requirements. Unlike simpler electronic products, bearing testing covers both material traceability and precision dimensional and performance verification. Here is what the testing covers:
| Test Category | Specific Parameters Tested | Referenced IS / ISO Standard |
|---|---|---|
| Dimensional Verification | Bore diameter (d), outer diameter (D), width (B), chamfer dimensions - measured against IS 6457:2024 boundary dimension tables for each size series | IS 5692:2024 (ISO 492:2023); ISO 15:1981 |
| Tolerance Class Verification | Bore diameter deviation, outer diameter deviation, ring width deviation, bore diameter variation, outer diameter variation, radial runout of assembled bearing - Classes Normal, P6, P5, P4, P2 per IS 5692 | IS 5692:2024 (ISO 492:2023) |
| Internal Clearance | Radial internal clearance measurement - confirming correct clearance group (C2, Normal, C3, C4, C5) as marked on bearing | IS 5935 (Part 1):2019 (ISO 5753-1:2009) |
| Roller Quality | Roller diameter, roller length, roller diameter variation, roller set diameter variation, surface roughness of rolling contact surface | IS 9202:2020 (First Revision) |

Material Traceability Requirement: IS 6457:2024 requires that bearing steel used for rings and rollers meets IS 17111:2025 (ISO 683-17:2023) - the newly updated bearing steel standard. Manufacturers must be able to demonstrate material traceability from mill certificates through production records to finished bearing. This is a significant documentation and process requirement that Standphill India helps manufacturers establish before the factory audit.
Why Get BIS ISI Mark for Cylindrical Roller Bearings - Business and Legal Benefits
The Bearings QCO 2025 makes ISI Mark compliance legally mandatory. But beyond legal compliance, the ISI Mark delivers tangible business value that bearing manufacturers recognise as a strategic investment rather than merely a regulatory burden:
Legal Mandate - No Alternative
Under Bearings QCO 2025, the ISI Mark is not optional. Any cylindrical roller bearing sold in India after the implementation date without ISI Mark is subject to seizure, penalty, and criminal prosecution under BIS Act 2016.
Government & PSU Procurement Access
ONGC, BHEL, NTPC, Indian Railways, defence establishments, and all central/state government procurement mandates ISI Mark certified bearings. Non-certified bearings are rejected at tender evaluation stage.
OEM Procurement Qualification
Major Indian OEMs - motor manufacturers, machine tool builders, pump makers - include ISI Mark in bearing vendor qualification criteria. ISI certification is the entry ticket to high-volume OEM supply.
Product Liability Protection
ISI Mark demonstrates compliance with India's national standard. In the event of a bearing failure causing equipment damage or personal injury, ISI certification is your strongest defence against product liability claims.
Market Access - Distributors & Dealers
Indian bearing distributors and industrial dealers are increasingly refusing to stock or sell non-ISI-certified bearings as awareness of QCO 2025 grows - protecting their own compliance exposure.
Brand Credibility for Import Substitution
India's industrial bearing market is heavily import-dependent. ISI Mark on domestic bearings signals quality on par with imported brands - supporting India's Atmanirbhar Bharat manufacturing drive.
BIS ISI Mark Certification Process for Single Row Cylindrical Roller Bearings - Step by Step
The ISI Mark process for cylindrical roller bearings under IS 6457:2024 is more comprehensive than the CRS process used for electronics - because it includes a physical factory audit by BIS officers in addition to product testing. Understanding each step helps manufacturers plan their timeline and resource allocation correctly. Here is the complete process as managed by Standphill India:
Gap Assessment & Compliance Readiness Review
Standphill India conducts an initial gap assessment of your manufacturing facility against IS 6457:2024 requirements, QCO 2025 compliance obligations, BIS factory audit checklist, and supporting referenced standards. We identify what is already in place and what documentation, processes, testing equipment, and quality records need to be established before the BIS audit. This step prevents surprises during the official BIS factory inspection.
Technical Documentation Preparation
Complete technical file prepared including: product specification sheets for each bearing type/series (NU, N, NJ, NF, NUP, NCF), dimensional drawings with tolerances per IS 5692:2024, material test certificates (bearing steel per IS 17111:2025), quality assurance plan, in-process inspection records, incoming material inspection procedure, final product test procedure aligned to IS 6457:2024, equipment calibration records, and production capacity statement.
Product Testing at BIS-Recognised Laboratory
Bearing samples submitted to a BIS-recognised laboratory (NABL-accredited labs with IS 6457 test scope) for complete testing per IS 6457:2024 - dimensional verification, tolerance class, internal clearance, material analysis, surface roughness, roller quality, and marking inspection. Lab test reports are typically valid for 90 days from date of issue, within which the BIS application must be submitted. Standphill India identifies the appropriate lab with IS 6457 testing capability and coordinates sample submission and test tracking.
BIS ManakOnline Application Submission
Online ISI Mark application filed on the BIS ManakOnline portal with lab test reports, complete CDF (Construction Data Form), production process details, quality plan, factory address and layout, equipment list, and all supporting documentation. Standphill India manages the complete portal filing - ensuring all forms are correctly filled and all document formats meet BIS requirements. Incorrect applications at this stage cause significant delays.
BIS Factory Audit (Scheme I Requirement)
This is the critical step that differentiates ISI Mark Scheme I from CRS. BIS officers visit your manufacturing facility to verify: production capability for the declared bearing types and sizes, availability and calibration of required testing and measuring equipment (roundness tester, surface roughness tester, bore gauge, OD micrometer, hardness tester), quality assurance system documentation, raw material procurement and incoming inspection records, in-process inspection practices, and finished goods inspection and traceability system. Standphill India prepares a complete factory audit readiness package and conducts a pre-audit walkthrough to ensure you present confidently to BIS officers.
BIS Technical Scrutiny & Query Resolution
BIS technical officers review the application, test reports, and factory audit findings. Technical queries or observations - which are common in first-time ISI Mark applications - are raised through the ManakOnline portal. Standphill India responds to all BIS queries within 24-48 hours, providing technical clarifications, additional documentation, or corrective action commitments as required. Timely, technically accurate query responses are critical to maintaining certification momentum.
Grant of ISI Mark Licence (CM/L Number)
BIS grants the ISI Mark Licence with a unique CM/L number. The ISI Mark and CM/L number must be prominently stamped, engraved, or laser-marked on the bearing ring (or on the individual packaging where ring marking is impractical due to bearing size). Standphill India provides post-licence guidance on ISI Mark placement requirements per IS 6457:2024, compliant packaging labels, and BIS annual surveillance visit preparation. The licence requires annual renewal - we manage your renewal schedule proactively.
For Foreign Manufacturers: The FMCS process requires BIS officers to physically visit the overseas factory - which involves scheduling international inspection visits that can take 3-6 months to arrange. Start your FMCS application for IS 6457:2024 ISI Mark at the earliest opportunity. Standphill India has extensive experience coordinating BIS overseas factory inspections for bearing manufacturers in China, Japan, South Korea, Germany, Sweden, Czech Republic, USA, and other countries.
Documents Required for IS 6457:2024 ISI Mark Certification
