The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) has set a hard deadline of November 19, 2026, for all UPS manufacturers to transition to the new IS 16242 (Part 1):2025 standard.
What’s Changing: The new standard is harmonized with IEC 62040-1:2017. It introduces stricter requirements for:
Fire Safety: Enhanced flammability testing for internal components.
Capacitor Discharge: Ensuring stored energy discharges to safe levels within seconds of disconnecting to protect service personnel.
Liquid Cooling Safety: New protocols for automatic shutdown in the event of coolant loss.
Afficore’s Readiness: We are already transitioning our lead models to the 2025 standard. By partnering with us, you bypass the legal risk of license suspension or import bans that non-compliant brands will face after November 2026.
