India Mandates BIS Certification for Smartphone Screen Protectors from April 2027
The Indian government has mandated compulsory BIS registration for smartphone screen protectors starting April 1, 2027, setting quality standards to enhance consumer confidence and reduce reliance on imports. Optiemus Infracom, a domestic manufacturer, plans to expand its production capacity by 20 million units to meet expected demand. The regulation aims to formalize the largely import-dependent market, ensuring products meet standards for impact resistance, material quality, and durability, aligning with broader localization efforts.
