Cable TV networks will need to have their set-top boxes (STBs) conformed to the standards set by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) by 3 April 2013. If they fail to do so, the STBs will not be valid.
An order issued in October last year that all specified electronic goods including STBs have to conform to standards set by the Bureau of Indian Standards will come into effect from 3 April this year.
The order of the Department of Electronics and Information Technology had said on 3 October 2012 that all specified electronic goods including STBs imported or domestically manufactured must bear a self Declaration “Confirming to IS........ Registration Number”.
This covers video games, LCD and LED Plasma television sets, visual display units, laptops, optical disc players, amplifiers, and electronic music systems among other things.
Thus after 3 April, it would be illegal to place these goods in the market without BIS clearance.
