GUIDELINES FOR TOYS MANUFACTURERS FOR BIS
LICENSE
CATEGORY B TOYS FOR PHYSICAL ACTIVITIES

• As per new guidelines, all the toy manufacturers
  are required to obtain license from BIS in order
  to sell their products in market. Since more than
  1 Indian Standard may be applicable on each toy,
  it has been decided to make the application
  process simpler.
• Toys have been classified into following 2 types
  for the purpose of BIS certification Electrical
  (IS 156442006) and Non-electrical (IS 9873 (Part
  1)2019). Manufacturers while applying for a
  license, may choose one of the applicable primary
  standards based on the type of toy for which
  license is required. If license is required for
  more than one type of toy (i.e. non-electric and
  electric), separate applications shall be made
  for each type.
• Further, based on their specific purpose and
  function, toys have also been classified into 7
  Categories and 146 sub-categories. For the
  purpose of certification, all the models of toys
  of similar designs, made from the same materials
  and covered under a single sub-category, shall be
  considered as a series.
• In this presentation, we are explaining the
  second category i.e., Toys for physical
  activities . It categorizes the toys as per the
  age criteria.
