Mention material (PE/PET/PVC/Glass etc.), type of containers (cup/bottles/jars etc.) and capacities in ml or litres (500 ml/1 litre/20 litres etc.) For example: PET Bottles of 500 ml, 1litre, 1.5 litre capacity and/or PET Jars of 20 litres capacity (any other pack sizes; containers for all pack sizes need to be in conformance to IS 15410 (as per latest amendment) BUREAU OF INDIAN STANDARDS Manak Bhawan, 9, Bahadur Shah Zafar Marg, New Delhi – 110002 PM/13428/ 3 January 2023

Salient changes in this version of the manual 1. The first edition Manual for Packaged Water, which provided internal guidelines to BIS Certification officers for certification of Packaged Drinking Water (Other Than Packaged Natural Mineral Water) (PDW) and Packaged Natural Mineral Water (PNMW) was issued in 2005. Following changes in the standard and feedback obtained during certification, the second and third editions of this Manual were issued in 2007 and 2013, respectively. 2. Following the revision of the BIS Act, 1986 as the BIS Act, 2016 in March 2017 and subsequent issue of general guidelines for certification based on the Act and regulations framed thereunder, it was decided to prepare a Scheme of Inspection and Testing (SIT) as per the provisions of the new regulations for both PDW/PNMW. Accordingly, SITs for both PDW and PNMW were issued in 2018-19. 3. Subsequently, it was also felt that the Manual for Packaged Water also needs to be revised to align with the provisions of the existing Indian Standard, and the BIS Act, with a view to consolidate the various guidelines for certification of packaged water in a single, user-friendly document. Accordingly, in line with the practice

for other products, separate product manuals for PDW and PNMW were framed. This document pertains only to PNMW manual, the PDW manual has been issued separately. 4. The salient changes in this version of the PNMW manual are as follows: i. The manual has been updated with respect to various amendments to IS 13428 (upto Amendment No. 11) and guidelines issued from time to time. ii. The list of test equipment has been updated as per revised test methods wherever applicable; and the list of test equipment for Uranium has been included. iii. In line with CMD-2 circular dated 22-03-2022 regarding testing of Pesticide Residues in Packaged Natural Mineral Water as per IS 13428:2005, it has been specified that out of all the samples drawn for factory/market surveillance in a year, only one sample may be got tested for pesticide residues. The same shall be clearly indicated on the test requests generated by BOs/outsourced agencies. However, if a sample fails in the requirement of Pesticide Residues, then the next 3 consecutive samples (factory/market) of that licence shall be tested for all tests including Pesticide Residues (except Radioactive residues), till the 3 consecutive samples are found conforming to all

requirements tested including pesticide residues. 5. The salient features of the erstwhile product manual(PM/13428/2, July 2020), which remains in vogue and are to be followed: i. As per Guidelines for Grant of Licence (GoL) as per the conformity assessment Scheme – I of Schedule – II of BIS (Conformity Assessment) Regulations, 2018, the provision for grant of licence under option 2 (simplified procedure) has been excluded. ii. It has been specified that the compliance of source of water and process adopted by the manufacturer for treatment/disinfection of the water shall be verified and details thereof reported during preliminary inspection. iii. In line with CMD-2 circular dated 16.09.2019 regarding testing of market samples of reusable containers of PNMW, it is specified that separate samples of containers need not be drawn during factory and market surveillance for testing. The possible tests on containers will be carried out on PM/13428/ 3 January 2023 the containers of the samples of Natural Mineral Water drawn for chemical/microbiological/other tests during factory and market surveillance. iv. It is a l s o permitted that at the grant of licence stage and during operation of the licence stage, for

inclusion of containers sizes, the manufacturer may offer only (at least) one sample of packaged natural mineral water in any one variety of packaging along with conforming tests reports issued by BIS recognized labs for the other varieties of packaging/containers intended to be covered in the scope of the licence. (Test reports may not be required in case containers are ISI marked). v. It was also specified that although in case of water samples, consecutive non-conformity will attract suspension, in case of non-conformity of containers, suspension will be attracted only in case the same variety of container (i.e. same material, type and capacity of container) fails more than two times consecutively. However, first failure will attract suspension in case of parameters concerning radioactive residues. vi. As per the previous Water Manual, if a fresh application has been submitted after closure of earlier application or expiry/cancellation of earlier licence and the closure of application/licence was for reasons other than failure in radioactive residues, fresh sample of water need not be drawn for testing of radioactive residues, if evidence is available that the source of raw water remained the

same as that in earlier application/licence, provided that radioactive residue TR of the sample drawn by BIS during verification visit passes and is not older than five years. The earlier test reports of sample drawn by BIS (not older than five years) shall be accepted within a period of five years. This provision has been removed in this version since present regulations/guidelines do not permit acceptance of applications based on old test reports. vii. IS 11984 has been specified as a reference Indian Standard for glass bottles. If any manufacturer intends to use glass bottles for packaging, it shall be included in the licence. The separate processing line for filling the glass bottles may be verified by BIS during the next visit and necessary steps in the process for ensuring sterility of bottles may be adopted like steam sterilizing, hot water rinsing, UV sterilization or combination thereof. In case of lug caps containing plastic lining, food grade certificate or OSL report for migration testing may be accepted. viii. Manufacturers need not maintain separate chemists and microbiologist and alternatively, may keep even one testing person, in case he/she is found competent for both chemical and microbiological

testing. This shall be duly recorded in PIR. ix. Guidelines for special situations faced in certification of packaged water have been addressed (Annex G) covering aspects like change in source of raw water, shelf life, brand name/label approvals. It has been specified that in case the brand name/trademark submitted by the firm is a registered brand name/trademark, no objection to its use shall be raised even if the brand name/trademark is found to be in non-compliance to Clause 8 of IS 13428. However, in such a case, the Head BO concerned shall communicate the details of such cases to CMD-2 for taking up with the concerned authorities. PM/13428/ 3 January 2023

Product Specific Guidelines for processing applications for grant of licence and change in scope of licence B-1. Application for grant of licence i. Domestic manufacturers of PNMW shall apply for grant of licence for his unit online through the Manakonline system as per the provided application format i.e. as per Form V as specified in Scheme I of Schedule II of BIS (Conformity Assessment Regulations), 2018. (Presently foreign applications under FMCS are being processed on offline mode). ii. Applications will only be accepted under Option 1 (Normal procedure), i.e. after receipt of the application and ensuring completeness of the application, a visit will be paid by BIS to the factory of the applicant for assessment of the manufacturing infrastructure, production process, quality control, testing capabilities, assessment of hygiene conditions and sample will be drawn for testing in third party laboratory. B-2 Preliminary Inspection B-2.1 During preliminary inspection, the documents/aspects as mentioned in general GoL guidelines shall be verified and the observations recorded in the Preliminary Inspection Report in the format circulated by CMD.

B-2.2 The actual factory layout shall be verified against the layout submitted with application. The layout should clearly indicate the different locations preferably including the following: a) Location of source of raw water and its entry point, pipeline etc. b) Plant for the manufacture of the product (with various stages) c) Filling/packing areas, change room, toilet(s), e) Entry/exit with indications of double door/door closures/Air curtains wherever provided f) Stores for packaging material and finished product g) Laboratory h) Actual boundary/perimeter of the establishment i) If the premises are also used for residential quarters/other purposes, then specific mention of the same be made with identified locations. B-2.3 As product is under mandatory certification, it is unlikely to be in “production” during PI. It is therefore essential to get some production & filling/packing done as ‘Trial Batch’ during the visit and then make comments on the firm’s capability for the same. B-2.4 It should be clearly reported in the PIR as to whether the filling/packaging adopted are manually operated or automatic. It may be noted that the plastic cups, tumbler, pouch bottles are required to be filled

only through automatic machine. However, jars maybe filled manually also. B-2.5. In addition, the following product specific aspects shall also be verified and observations recorded in the Preliminary Inspection Report or in an Annexure to that report: PM/13428/ 3 January 2023 i.

hygienic precautions; f) it is not subjected to any treatment other than those permitted under Cl 4.1 of IS 13428. Compliance to Cl 3.1 a) to f) shall be ensured and reported in the Preliminary Inspection report. iv. As per Cl.3.1.6 of IS 13428:2005, Natural Spring water is natural mineral water which is derived from an underground formation from which water flows naturally to the surface of the earth at an identified location. Spring water shall be collected only at the spring or through a borehole tapping the underground formation feeding the spring. There shall be a natural force causing the water to flow to the surface through an orifice. Compliance to Cl 3.1.6 and 6.4 shall be ensured and reported in the preliminary inspection report in case manufacturer claims the natural mineral water as Natural spring water. v. The transport of natural mineral water in bulk containers for packaging or any other process before packaging is prohibited. vi. Natural mineral water shall have the constancy of its composition and the stability of its discharge and temperature, due account being taken of the cycles of minor natural fluctuations. Evidence for constancy of water composition at source on account of cycles of minor natural fluctuations

during different seasons in a year shall comprise of the following: a. Undertaking for submission of Test report (from any BIS approved OSL) of all the major seasons (over a period of one year) for all the major physicochemical parameters, complying to the requirements of IS 10500; b.

Declared wall thickness of container(s)/width of film of pouch B-4.2 In case of foreign manufacturers, test report through LIMS is not applicable, till applicants/licencees under FMCS are brought on online mode, integrated with LIMS. B-4.3 However, in case the manufacturer intends to cover more than one variety of packaging in the scope of licence, he need not offer samples of each variety of packaging during the factory visit (preliminary inspection) for testing in third party lab. However, it shall be ensured that the manufacturing facilities for

manufacturing other packing sizes (if applicable) like moulding machines, etc, are available. He may offer sample of the product in at least one variety of packaging, along with either: a. Conforming tests reports issued by BIS recognized labs (through LIMS only) for the other varieties of packaging/containers intended to be covered in the scope of the licence. These test reports issued through LIMS, shall not be older than 90 days on the date of submission of application. PM/13428/ 3 January 2023 In case an application is received for more than one variety of container and the variety of the container drawn during preliminary inspection, does not conform to the requirements of the Indian Standard, however the product (Packaged Natural Mineral water) is found conforming to all the requirements of the Indian Standard, then the application is to be processed for Grant of Licence for all those varieties of container packaging, whose conforming test report has been submitted with the application. Under such circumstances, the variety of container, which has not been found conforming to the requirements of relevant Indian Standard, shall be excluded from the scope. Further there may be a situation when applicant has applied for one variety only and the container is

found failing but the product (PNMW) is passing. Under such circumstances, only the improved sample of the container as offered by the manufacturer, maybe tested for conformity to the requirements of the relevant Indian Standard. . OR b. In case the applicant uses/intends to use ISI Marked Plastic Containers as per IS 15410 or ISI Marked polyethylene flexible pouches as per IS 15609 or ISI Marked Paper based multilayer laminated/extruded composite cartons as per IS 17753 or ISI marked aluminum cans as per the finalized draft of Indian Standard 'Aluminum cans for packaged natural mineral water and packaged drinking water — Specification' [Doc: PGD 38 (20182)], the manufacturer may submit a consent letter from the BIS licensed manufacturer of the container, that he has agreed to supply ISI Marked containers for the required varieties (to be explicitly mentioned in the letter) to the applicant firm. In that case test reports from third party labs need not be submitted for those varieties. The letter from BIS licensed manufacturers shall not be older than 90 days on the date of submission of application. The test certificates of the containers issued as per relevant Indian Standard(s) by the BIS licensed manufacturer

is required to be submitted at the time of submission of application / before inspection, for examination by BIS. B-4.4 In case the applicant is adopting more than one type of processes/sources of raw water, separate samples shall be drawn for each process/source. B-4.5 The sample quantity to be sent to the third-party lab for testing is as follows: i) Natural Mineral Water a) For all parameters other than radioactive residues - A sample containing approximately 18 litres of Natural Mineral Water (NMW) in two parts is adequate, if packed in 1 liter or smaller containers but in case the samples are available in large size packages, minimum two such packages are required as microbiological laboratory needs separate sample for ensuring aseptic handling. For example: Capacity of the container Number of containers to be drawn (cup/bottle/jar) in litres 1 18 2 9 5 4 10 2 20 2 25 2 PM/13428/ 3 January 2023 For Pouches: 2 bags/cartons each containing total of atleast 100 pouches + Film. b) For Parameters concerning Radio-active Residue In addition to the above, sample shall also be drawn for testing parameters concerning radioactive residues.

Note 1: The pouches shall be made in the presence of BIS officer, during inspection, and, may be printed with only details like batch number, date of manufacturing, Expiry/Use by,, capacity, using ink to be used by the manufacturer for marking on the pouches. This will facilitate testing of pouches for ink adhesion test and product resistance test. This is being allowed as manufacturer cannot get the pouch film rolls printed with all other details such as Standard Mark etc. before the GOL. Note 2: IS 11984 has been specified as a reference Indian Standard for glass bottles/tumbler, however such

containers need not be tested. However, if any manufacturer intends to use such container, it shall be included in the licence.. The separate processing line for filling the glass bottles may be verified by BIS during the next surveillance visit and necessary steps in the process for ensuring sterility of bottles may be adopted like steam sterilizing, hot water rinsing or combination thereof. In case of lug caps containing plastic lining, food grade certificate or OSL report for migration testing may be accepted.

Any change in nature of treatments processes to be verified and observations including compliance thereon to be reported (This may be mentioned in the process flowchart submitted.) vi. Availability of required testing facilities, as per the ISS should be verified and recorded. Any change in the test facilities should be checked for and reported. The test equipment should have valid calibration on the day of the visit. Calibration should be done from NABL accredited laboratory or any other laboratory provided traceability to NPL is established through the calibration certificates. Calibration of Analytical Balance, temperature indicators, pressure gauge of autoclave and spectrophotometer (internal/in-house or from outside lab.) is considered necessary at least once a year. Indicative List of test equipment and chemicals required for testing of Natural Mineral Water is given at Annex E for guidance. Status of test equipment calibration observed from calibration certificates should be reported. vii. Any change in testing person(s) should be checked for and reported along with

comments on the competence, qualifications and experience. viii. Compliance to requirements of SIT shall be verified and observations reported. C-2 Factory testing PM/13428/ 3 January 2023 C-2.1 One sample of the product shall be tested in the factory during the preliminary inspection for preferably following requirements: Colour, Odour, Taste, Turbidity, pH, Chloride, Alkalinity. C-2.2 In case any non-conformity is observed during factory testing, no sample shall be drawn for independent testing in third party lab. (Please refer Annex D for actions to be taken in case of non- conformity) C-3 Sample for Independent Testing C-3.1 If the sample passes in factory testing, sample of Natural Mineral Water shall be drawn and sent for complete testing for all requirements of the Indian Standard IS 13428:2005 except the parameters concerning radioactive residues. However, out of all the samples drawn for factory/market surveillance in a year, only one sample may be got tested for pesticide residues, which is required to be clearly indicated on the test requests generated by BOs/outsourced agencies. But, if a sample fails in the requirement of Pesticide Residues, then the next 3 consecutive

samples (factory/market) of that licence shall be tested for all tests including Pesticide Residues(except Radioactive residues), till the 3 consecutive samples are found conforming to all requirements tested including pesticide residues. The following details should be mentioned in the test request (generated through Manakonline): i. Specify if it is Natural spring water (as per Cl 3.1.6 of IS 13428:2005) ii.

Declared wall thickness of container(s)/width of film of pouch vii. ‘All tests/All Chemical tests/All Possible tests, except Pesticide Residues and Radioactive Residues’ (where pesticide residue is not required to be tested) And All tests/All Chemical tests/All Possible tests, including Pesticide Residues, but excluding Radioactive Residues (where pesticide residue is required to be tested) ‘ C-3.2 In case the applicant is adopting more than one type of processes/sources of raw water, samples shall

be drawn for each process/source by rotation during factory surveillance. C-3.3 The sample quantity to be sent to the third party lab for testing is as follows: i) Natural Mineral Water For all parameters other than radioactive residues - A sample containing approximately 18 litres of packaged water (NMW) in two parts is adequate, if packed in 1 liter or smaller containers but in case the samples are available in large size packages, minimum two such packages are required as microbiological laboratory needs separate sample for ensuring aseptic handling. . Details of pack sizes to be drawn are as given above, under clause B-4.5 (i)(a) For Pouches: Details of pack sizes to be drawn are as given above, under clause B-4.5 (i)(a) C-4 Market Surveillance PM/13428/ 3 January 2023 C-4.1 While obtaining samples of Natural Mineral Water from the market, it should be ensured that the samples being drawn are bearing genuine ISI mark. This may be done by checking the licence number printed on the label. In case it is found that the ISI mark is spurious, the sample shall not be drawn for testing and suitable action should be initiated for further investigation. C-4.2 For sending the market sample to the lab for testing, the following details should be mentioned in

the test request (generated through Manakonline): i. Specify if it is Natural Spring water (as per Cl 3.1.6 of IS 13428:2005) ii. Date of manufacture or packaging’ and ‘Expiry/Use by; iii. Best Before Date(optional); iv. Quantity (number of containers and total quantity of Natural Mineral Water in litre or milliliter), v. Type, material and capacity of containers C-4.3 Separate samples of containers need not be drawn during market surveillance for testing. The possible tests on containers (including transparency) will be carried out on the containers of the samples of Natural Mineral Water drawn for testing requirements as per IS 13428 excluding PR and RAR. This shall be mentioned on the test request. C-4.4 The sample quantity to be sent to the third-party lab for testing is as follows: i) Natural Mineral Water For all parameters other than radioactive residues – A sample containing approximately 18 litres of Natural Mineral Water (NMW) in two parts is adequate, if packed in 1 liter or smaller containers but in case the samples are available in large size packages, minimum two such packages are required as microbiological laboratory needs separate sample for ensuring aseptic handling. For example:

Capacity of the container Number of containers to be drawn (cup/bottle/jar) in litres 1 18 2 9 5 4 10 2 20 2 25 2 For Pouches: 2 bags of 100 pouches each + Film. A sample of 4 bags shall be drawn in case each bag contains 50/60 pouches. PM/13428/ 3 January 2023

Guidelines for actions in case of non-conformity including suspension and revocation of suspension of licence D-1.1 Guidelines for Suspension (SUS) and Revocation of Suspension (ROS) of Licence – For Scheme - I of Schedule - II of BIS (Conformity Assessment) Regulations, 2018 issued by CMD-1 shall apply in case of Natural Mineral Water. In addition, the following product specific guidelines will apply. Wherever the general and product-specific guidelines are in conflict, the product specific guidelines will take precedence. D-1.2 Non Conformity of Samples Non-conformity of containers/packaging material shall not be treated at par with non-conformity of Natural Mineral Water, since the criticality of the former is lower. Accordingly, non-conformity in case of Natural Mineral Water and containers/packaging material shall be treated separately as follows: D-1.2.1 Non-conformity of Natural Mineral Water (IS 13428) i) Suspension shall be imposed in the event of consecutive non-conformity of samples of Natural Mineral Water. However, suspension shall be imposed on first non-conformity itself if the non-conformity of Natural Mineral Water is in respect of parameters concerning radioactive

residues or pesticide residue or toxicity. ii) For other situations, in case of first non-conformity, the non-conformity shall be communicated to the licensee through email/speed post/IT software with a copy of the test report (as per template given in Annex I of SUS/ROS guidelines). The licensee shall be advised to take corrective action and submit reply with supporting evidence, as applicable, within 30 days (one month) of the date of communication. iii) When the corrective actions as mentioned at para ii above, are received within 30 days (one month), the DO shall put up the case to the Head BO for nominating an officer for verification of the corrective actions preferably within 90 days through a surveillance inspection. iv) If during the surveillance inspection, the sample is non-conforming in factory testing, it shall be treated as consecutive non-conformity and suspension shall be imposed and actions for communication of suspension as per para 10 of SUS/ROS guidelines shall be taken. v) However, if corrective actions as mentioned at para ii are not received within 30 days (one month), the case may be processed for imposition of suspension.

The licensee shall be advised to take corrective action and submit reply with supporting evidence, as applicable, within 30 days (one month) of the date of communication and offer improved samples for testing. b) When the corrective actions as mentioned at para (a) above, are received within 30 days (one month), the DO shall put up the case to the Head BO for nominating an officer for verification of the corrective actions preferably within 90 days through a surveillance inspection. c) Since factory testing of containers during surveillance visit may not be feasible in most cases as most manufacturers are procuring containers from outside and do not have in- house testing facilities, the corrective action shall be verified from documents etc as far as possible and improved sample of container shall be drawn for testing for all requirements

of the standard (i.e. IS 15410) in third party lab during surveillance visit. ii) Second non-conformity (First consecutive non-conformity) a) Non-conformity is to be considered as consecutive in case of containers only when the same variety of containers (i.e. the same material, type/form and capacity) is found to be non-conforming consecutively and hence suspension shall not be imposed in the first instance of consecutive non conformity in case of container. The non-conformity shall be communicated to the licensee through email/speed post/IT software with a copy of the test report (as per template given in Annex I of SUS/ROS guidelines). The licensee shall be advised to take corrective action and submit reply with supporting evidence, as applicable, within 30 days (one month) of the date of communication and offer improved samples for testing. b) When the corrective actions as mentioned at para (a) above, are received within 30 days (one month), the DO shall put up the case to the Head BO for nominating an officer for verification of the corrective actions preferably within 90 days through a surveillance inspection. c) Since factory testing of containers during surveillance visit may not be feasible in most

cases as most manufacturers are procuring containers from outside and do not have in- house testing facilities, the corrective action shall be verified from documents etc as far as possible and improved sample of container shall be drawn for testing for all requirements of the standard (i.e. IS 15410) in third party lab during surveillance visit. PM/13428/ 3 January 2023 iii) Third non-conformity (Second Consecutive Non-Conformity) Suspension shall be imposed in case of second instance of consecutive non-conformity of the same variety of containers i.e. third consecutive non-conformity of same variety of container and actions for communication of suspension as per para 10 of SUS/ROS guidelines shall be taken. iv) Suspension shall also be imposed in case improved sample offered after second non conformity (first consecutive non-conformity) fails in factory or independent testing or if licensee fails to confirm corrective actions within 30 or days and/or offer improved sample during the visit, and actions for communication of suspension as per para 10 of SUS/ROS guidelines shall be taken v) Revocation of suspension shall be done as per the general Guidelines for Suspension (SUS)

and Revocation of Suspension (ROS) of Licence. D-2 Unsatisfactory performance D-2.1 In case the following situations are observed, it shall be treated as major modification in process without prior evaluation of the Bureau and shall attract suspension on the first instance itself: i) Change of source of raw water without evaluation of the Bureau. ii) Modification in the process with or without any change in raw water source, without prior evaluation of the Bureau. (Any addition or deletion of processing machinery eg. Tanks/Filling machine, etc for capacity enhancement or otherwise, which does not change the overall manufacturing process, will not constitute as modification in the process. A declaration regarding the same may be taken during surveillance in Form-I.) PM/13428/3 January 2023

Guidelines for Special Situations G-1 Change of source of raw water or change in process As and when there is change in source water, it shall be intimated to BIS. The raw water collected from the new source shall be tested in accordance with Clause 7 of SIT and the processed water produced from such source water shall be tested for conformity to IS 13428 from BIS recognized outside lab. The reports of source water and the product water produced from the new source shall be submitted to BIS for approval before commissioning for regular production and marking. G-2 Modification in the process G-2.1 In case of any addition, alteration and/or change in the production process without any change in raw water source, the processed water produced from such changed process shall be tested for conformity to IS 13428 from BIS recognized outside lab. The reports of the product water produced from the changed process shall be submitted to BIS for approval before commissioning for regular production and marking. G-2.2 Testing of product water so produced by using different processes shall be carried out as per SIT and records be kept separately by the licensee.

Note 1: Testing for parameters concerning radio-active residues need not be done under above circumstances provided the source of raw water remains the same. Note 2: Any change in process may require change of label. Therefore licensee may be advised to prepare fresh label incorporating all marking details. G-3 Shelf-life G-3.1 Declared shelf life for Natural Mineral Water in all type of packing materials shall not be less than 30 days. If the manufacturer intends to declare a longer shelf-life than minimum 30 days, study shall be conducted on each type of packing whenever there is a change in the source of raw water/manufacturing/packing process, whichever is earlier. The shelf-life shall be declared on the labels as per 8.1 (g) of IS 13428. It shall be based on in-house shelf life study for which proper records be maintained conforming to declared shelf life. G-3.2 Subsequently, for any change in the shelf life declared on the labels, the manufacturer shall inform BIS in advance along with shelf- life study reports and submit fresh label for approval. Tests to be carried out for shelf life studies are requirements given in Table 1 of IS 13428 along with routine microbiological tests as per IS 13428.

G-4 Label/marking approvals G-4.1There is a practice that applicants/licensees submit labels to BIS for approval. Wherever any applicant/licensee submits labels to BIS for approval, it shall be informed to them that the labels conforming to the marking details as mentioned in clause 8 of IS 13428 along with the brand names are to be submitted PM/13428/3 January 2023 to by licensees to BIS for information only, which will only be noted by BIS for records. G-4.2 The compliance of such labels to the requirement of clause 8 shall be ensured by licensees. However, in case non-compliance to Clause 8 is observed by BIS and communicated in writing (provided brand name/trademark is not registered) to licensee, licensee shall make necessary rectification and resubmit the label for confirmation to concerned BIS Branch Office within 15 days. Decision of BIS regarding whether labeling is complying or not with clause 8 of IS 13428 shall be final. G-4.3 However, in case the brand name/trademark submitted by the firm is a registered brand name/trademark, no objection to its use shall be raised even if the brand name/trademark is found to be in non-compliance to Clause 8. However, in such a case, the Head BO concerned shall communicate the details of such cases to CMD-2 for taking up with the concerned authorities. PM/13428/3 January 2023
