Bureau of Indian Standard BIS Certification is India's most respected manufacturing certification authority and now the regulatory, enforcing and certifying authority for Automobile Wheel Rim Component (Quality Control) Order, 2020.
The entitled order "Automobile Wheel Rim Component (Quality Control)" was presented by The Ministry of Heavy Industries & Public Enterprises on 21 September 2020, where the department has drawn up appropriate quality standards for importers as well as the local industry.
The new proposed regulation is to ensure greater road safety. In line with this, the government is in the process of revising the technical specifications of another 350 products to increase safety and quality, imposing higher standards on imports, and promote local wheel rim manufacturers. The draft for quality control of rims includes products for two-wheelers, three-wheelers, electrically powered vehicles, passenger cars, and commercial vehicles. The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) is responsible for the certification and implementation of the new quality standards.
