Bureau of Indian Standards publishes six assistive-product standards
→Assistive-product makers must align designs with new BIS standards
Change
Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) published six new standards covering mobility aids, tactile guide maps, Braille signage, and portable ramps.
Why it matters
BIS specifications now define safety, ergonomics, performance, marking, and labelling for covered assistive products. Products tested against older specifications fail BIS-aligned procurement and certification requirements.
Implications
- → Assistive-product manufacturers must map covered product designs against the six new standards — products tested on outdated specifications fail BIS-aligned procurement.
- → Quality and testing teams must update conformity evidence against the new marking and performance requirements — older test files no longer satisfy current BIS standards.
