【India】Essential requirement(s) for security of CCTV

What is ER:01?

Meity has announced an amendment on IS 13252(part1):2010 on the 9th April, 2024, stating that all the CCTV product shall apply the Essential requirement(s) for security of CCTV.

  • The scheduled enforcement date was 9th October 2024, but then it had been delayed.
  • The new date will be 9th April, 2025

What should we do?

As Meity suggested in Guidelines for implementation of “Essential Requirement(s) for Security of CCTV”,

    1. Existing licensees of ‘CCTV Cameras’ as per IS 13252 (Part 1) : 2010/ IEC 60950-1 : 2005
      • shall implement the ER by 09 April 2025 for the existing models in their scope by applying online along with test report for ER: 01.
      • After 09 April 2025, non-compliant models shall be deleted from the scope of License. If the Licensee fails to take necessary action by 09 April 2025 or if none of the models are complying, License shall be liable for cancellation.
    2. For New Applicants of CCTV Cameras
      • Applications for CCTV Cameras may be submitted along with test report for ER: 01 in addition to test report as per IS 13252 (Part 1): 2010.
      • Processing of Applications without test report for ER: 01 shall be permitted only upto 09 April 2025 and for such cases Applicant shall give a declaration that they will implement the revised Standard by 09 April 2025.
      • Beyond 09 April 2025 no Licence for CCTV cameras shall be granted without compliance to ‘Essential Requirement(s) for Security of CCTV’ as notified in the QCO.

The Enforcement day is getting near. We suggest the manufacturer has to plan for their application ASAP, as the process may take 2-3 months or even more.
