BIS Certification for Toys

Why Is BIS Certification for Toys Compulsory?

The Indian government has made BIS Certification mandatory under the Toys (Quality Control) Order, 2020 to enhance safety and quality for children. It applies to:

• All types of toys – plastic, wooden, mechanical, and electrical
• All Indian and foreign toy manufacturers
• Importers, distributors, retailers, and online sellers

Failure to comply can result in product bans, port seizures, and delisting from marketplaces.

Applicable Indian Standards for Toy Certification

Toys are categorized and tested under the following Indian Standards:

• Non-Electrical Toys (IS 9873 series)
  • Part 1: Mechanical & Physical Properties
  • Part 2: Flammability
  • Part 3: Toxicity – Migration of Certain Elements
  • Part 4: Swings, Slides & Activity Toys
  • Part 7: Finger Paints
  • Part 9: Phthalates in Toys
• Electrical Toys: IS 15644:2006 (Safety of Electric Toys)

Dual certification may be required if a toy has both electrical and mechanical features.

Who Needs to Get BIS Certified?

• Indian Toy Manufacturers
• Foreign Manufacturers (via FMCS)
• Indian Importers (must import only BIS certified products)
• Traders, Distributors, E-Commerce Sellers

Note: Each factory location and toy variant requires a separate BIS license. It is non-transferable and unit-specific.
