In this competitive scenario, it isn't easy to survive in the market without a standard quality and certified product. BIS license may also be required to sell products in the Indian market.

To get BIS certification and produce a standard quality product, the manufacturer must ensure that their product must follow the specified Indian standard.

Let's take a closer look at IS/ISO 6742 (Part 2): 2015 for Retro-reflective Devices.

This part 2 of ISO 6742 applies to retro-reflective devices used on bicycles intended for use on public roads. The BIS adopted this Indian standard (part 2), which is identical to ISO 6742/2-1985 issued by the ISO, on the recommendation of the bicycle sectional committee and with the approval of the transport engineering division council.

This standard specifies the photometric and physical requirements for retro-reflective devices to be installed on bicycles designed for use on public roads. Such retro reflective devices are effective in low-visibility conditions and at night in helping to make all road users aware of the presence of a cyclist.

Retro-Reflective Devices are classified according to IS/ISO 6742-2:2015 based on Product Type and Color, as given below:

• Reflector
• Retro-reflective Tyres (White, White/Yellow)
• Retro-reflective Spokes (White)
• Retro-reflective Spoke Cases (White)

The reflector must meet the photometric and colorimetric requirements of the standard. The CIL values for reflectors and retro-reflective tyres shall not be less than those specified in the standard. The reflector must include a distinct preferred assembly method to ensure that it can be mounted in the intended orientation with respect to the bicycle.

To cover that specific variety of Retro-Reflective Device, samples of each product type (Reflector, Retro-reflective Tyres, Retro-reflective Spokes, and Retro-reflective Spoke Cases) must be tested.
