I have a question posed by a colleague. Any help will be greatly appreciated. No problem with US-based experts. We manufacture professional lighting products for stage and television use (mostly, and also some for other uses). It is my interpretation that our products are not described in the BIS lists of affected products, but it might be a vague area open to other interpretations. I wish to obtain specific advice on these topics, among others: * If we appoint a representative for compliance in India do they acquire the rights of a Brand Agent? If yes then what is the range of possible consequences? * All our products have been tested in fully accredited laboratories in the UK and USA and we have full reports, in most cases fully up to date. However, none were produced in a BIS recognised facility and none within the last 90 days, which both appear to be conditions for obtaining a BIS compliance. Is that right and if so what is the most practical solution? * There are three BIS categories that might be said to apply to us, although it is my opinion they do not: o 24: SELF-BALLASTED LED LAMPS FOR GENERAL LIGHTING SERVICES o 25: DC OR AC SUPPLIED ELECTRONIC CONTROLGEAR FOR LED MODULES o 28: FIXED GENERAL PURPOSE LED LUMINAIRES How can I ascertain with certainty what the scope of these categories is? * We seek advice on the most cost-effective way to prove compliance in India.
