If you are manufacturing or importing asbestos cement cable conduits and troughs in India, you are not dealing with a voluntary compliance scheme. You are operating in a product category that is covered under a notified quality control order. That changes everything.
These products must meet IS 8870:1978 standards and have a valid license from the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) by 2026. The Bureau of Indian Standards Act 2016 and the Quality Control Order that the Government of India sent out through the right ministry cover this requirement
If you ignore this, your goods can be stopped at customs, seized from the market or challenged during inspection
BIS Registration for Silica-Asbestos-Cement Flat Sheets IS 13000:1990
The government has issued a Quality Control Order (QCO) covering asbestos- or fiber cement-based products. Under that order, specific products, including asbestos cement cable conduits and troughs, must conform to the relevant Indian Standard.
For this product, the applicable standard is IS 8870:1978 – Asbestos Cement Cable Conduits and Troughs.
Once a QCO is notified and comes into force, you cannot legally manufacture, store, sell, import, or distribute the notified product without a BIS license and the standard mark (ISI mark). This is not optional. The only exception typically applies to goods meant strictly for export.
So the first thing you must confirm is simple: Is your product technically covered under IS 8870:1978? If yes BIS certification is mandatory
Many manufacturers focus only on “getting the certificate.” That approach causes trouble.
IS 8870:1978 lays down specific requirements relating to:
BIS does not certify a document. It certifies your manufacturing capability to consistently produce goods that meet the standard.
This means your internal quality control must align with the testing requirements in the standard. During inspection officers will check whether you can maintain conformity on an ongoing basis
Do not rush to file the application before your factory is ready
You should first:
BIS officers expect you to demonstrate control over production, not just show a lab report.
If your internal system is weak, inspection will become difficult
Your product must be tested as per IS 8870:1978 in a BIS-recognized laboratory.
The test report must:
You cannot use outdated or partial reports. BIS cross-checks details carefully.
This is where many applications face delay either because the report does not match the standard fully, or because identification details are inconsistent.
You must apply through the official BIS Manakonline portal.
The application includes:
Accuracy matters more than speed. One incorrect technical entry can trigger a query and push your file back.
If you are a foreign manufacturer, you must appoint an Authorised Indian Representative (AIR) to file and manage the application
Once your application and documents are reviewed, BIS schedules a factory inspection.
During inspection, officers typically:
This stage determines whether you receive the license.
You should treat inspection as a technical audit, not as a formality.
If inspection and independent testing are satisfactory, BIS grants a license to use the standard mark.
Only after receiving the license can you affix the ISI mark on your asbestos-cement cable conduits and troughs.
The license is subject to surveillance. BIS may conduct periodic inspections and market sampling. Compliance does not end after approval.
BIS Registration for Fibre Cement Flat Sheets IS 14862:2000
You should clearly understand the consequences of ignoring mandatory certification:
In 2026, enforcement under QCO-covered products has become stricter. Random checks are no longer rare
Because of the quality control order, it will be required to register asbestos-cement cable conduits and troughs with BIS in 2026. This is required by law, not just a marketing choice.
You need to get your factory ready, do the right tests, fill out the right application, pass an inspection and keep following the rules
Agile Regulatory can help you with structured compliance support based on real-world regulatory experience if you want the process to go smoothly from start to finish. If you get the right help and do the right things, you can get your BIS license without any unnecessary delays and keep your business fully compliant in the Indian market
