The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) has released revised guidelines for implementing IS 18112:2025, “Digital Television Receiver for Satellite Broadcast Transmission Specification (First Revision).”
Key highlights:
- - All television sets must comply with IS 18112 along with IS 616:2017/IEC 60065:2014 safety standards.

- - Existing licensees must update their scope of licence to include IS 18112 requirements, with compliance supported by relevant test reports.
- - Manufacturers are encouraged to apply directly under IS 18112:2025 to align with the latest requirements and avoid reprocessing later.
