BIS Amendment Order, 2026 for Temporary suspension of n-Butyl Acrylate

Introduction to the BIS QCO for n-Butyl Acrylate

The original n-Butyl Acrylate (Quality Control) Order, 2021 was issued by the Ministry of Chemicals and Fertilizers on 24th December 2021. This order brought n-Butyl Acrylate under mandatory BIS certification in India in order to ensure quality as well as rigorous safety standards.

n-Butyl Acrylate is widely used in the production of paints, coatings, adhesives, sealants, and textiles, making it an important chemical for multiple industries.

Under this Order, n-Butyl Acrylate was required to conform to the applicable Indian Standard and bear the Standard Mark (ISI Mark) under a valid BIS license. This ensured that only certified and quality-compliant material could be manufactured, imported, or sold in the Indian market.

However, due to recent global supply challenges, the government has now introduced a temporary amendment in order to ease availability concerns for n-butyl acrylate.

Key Changes You Should Know

1. The government has introduced a temporary suspension of the QCO requirements for n-butyl acrylate.
2. Compliance with the Indian Standard and BIS certification is not mandatory during the specified period.
3. This step has been taken to avoid supply chain disruptions and ensure smooth availability of n-Butyl Acrylate.

Note: After the specified period, all provisions of the original 2021 Order will again become applicable.

What is the Date of Implementation?

• Original QCO Issued: 24 December 2021
• Amendment Order Issued: 10 April 2026
• Relaxation Period: 10 April 2026 to 10 July 2026

During this time, BIS compliance for n-Butyl Acrylate is temporarily not required.

Benefits of this Order for the Industry

This amendment provides immediate relief to businesses that are dealing with n-Butyl Acrylate in the Indian market. Here are some prominent benefits brought forward with this recent amendment:

• The new order ensures an uninterrupted supply in the market.
• It helps industries avoid production slowdowns.
• This also reduces short-term compliance pressure.
• It supports manufacturers as well as importers in managing global sourcing challenges.

Now, What to Do?

Businesses should use this temporary relaxation period carefully since it is important to remember that this is just a temporary relaxation and not a permanent consideration. Here’s what businesses should do:

• Start or continue BIS certification preparations beforehand for n-butyl acrylate, since any further clarifications or amendments, as per BIS discretion, can equally impact their workflow.
• Align testing, documentation, and application processes in advance.
• Ensure readiness to comply immediately after 10 July 2026.
• Keep track of any further government notifications regarding the same.
