Dear Reader,
Key update regarding the Indian Standard applicable to current license holders, new applicants, manufacturers, importers, and product sellers for the Footwear made from Leather and other Materials (High ankle tactical boots with PU - Rubber sole) (Quality Control) Order, 2024.
The Ministry of Commerce and Industry has released the "Quality Control Order, 2024," for footwear made from leather and other materials, scheduled to take effect from August 1, 2024.
As per this directive, High ankle tactical boots featuring PU-Rubber soles are required to comply with Indian Standard IS 17012:2018, particularly the specification for High ankle tactical boots with PU-Rubber sole. They must display the Standard Mark under a license from the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) as outlined in Scheme-I of Schedule-II of the Bureau of Indian Standards (Conformity Assessment) Regulations, 2018.
However, this regulation excludes items intended for export or micro and small manufacturing units as defined in the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Development Act, 2006.
Furthermore, manufacturers certified by the BIS or those who have submitted their certification applications before the implementation of this directive can legally declare and sell their existing inventory of footwear products lacking the BIS Mark until June 30, 2025.
The Bureau of Indian Standards is authorized as the certifying and regulatory body for High Ankle Tactical Boots.
