GUIDELINES FOR TOYS MANUFACTURERS FOR BIS LICENSE
WWW.SIGMATEST.ORG
CATEGORY G TOYS FOR SOCIAL RELATIONSHIPS
As per new guidelines, all the toy manufacturers
are required to obtain license from BIS in order
to sell their products in market. Since more than
1 Indian Standard may be applicable on each toy,
it has been decided to make the application
process simpler. Toys have been classified into
following 2 types for the purpose of BIS
certification Electrical (IS 156442006) and
Non-electrical (IS 9873 (Part 1)2019).
Manufacturers while applying for a license, may
choose one of the applicable primary standards
based on the type of toy for which license is
required. If license is required for more than
one type of toy (i.e. non-electric and
electric), separate applications shall be made
for each type. Further, based on their specific
purpose and function, toys have also been
classified into 7 Categories and 146
sub-categories. For the purpose of certification,
all the models of toys of similar designs, made
from the same materials and covered under a
single sub- category, shall be considered as a
series. In this presentation, we are explaining
the seventh category i.e., Toys for social
relationships. It categorizes the toys as per the
age criteria.
