The government is set to tighten quality standards for smartphone screen protectors sold in India, bringing the products under the mandatory Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) registration framework. Under the new rules, manufacturers and importers will have to ensure that screen protectors meet prescribed quality standards before selling them in the country.
The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) has introduced the new requirement through a September 21 notification. The rules will come into effect from April 1, 2027.
