Revised IS 10322 (Part 5) standards for LED luminaires: concurrent running extended to 2 February 2027
BIS's Registration Department, in a circular dated 31 July 2026 (ref. Reg./IS 10322 Series/Guidelines/02), extended the last date of concurrent running of the old and revised LED luminaire standards to 2 February 2027. The original guidelines of 20 March 2026 had set 2 August 2026.
The extension covers seven product categories: fixed general purpose LED luminaires (including fancy lights), recessed LED luminaires, LED luminaires for road and street lighting, LED flood lights, LED hand lamps, LED lighting chains and LED luminaires for emergency lighting. Each moves to the 2026 edition of its IS 10322 (Part 5) section, which now refers to the revised general standard IS 10322 (Part 1):2026.
Changes noted by BIS include EMF safety requirements, IPX9, PELV systems, touch voltage and current limits, a new annex for battery- or EDLC-operated luminaires and extended photobiological requirements, plus product-specific changes such as a glass breaking test for flood lights and lithium battery rules for emergency luminaires. Existing licensees must submit fresh test reports for lead models and an undertaking for series models by the new date.
Who is affected
CRS licensees and applicants for LED luminaires, flood lights, street lights, hand lamps, lighting chains and emergency lighting, including foreign manufacturers.
What to do
- Identify which IS 10322 (Part 5) section applies to each registered model and schedule retesting of lead models to the 2026 edition.
- Check marking, battery and EMF changes with your design team before samples go to the lab.
- Complete the switchover on the CRS portal before 2 February 2027 to avoid cancellation or deletion of models.
