BIS Scheme X tightens documentation, traceability, and certification trails for heavy equipment imported into and operated in India. We started preparation in mid-2024 and closed the file in early 2025. This post is the practical summary of what changed and what didn't.
On the DCEPL side, the 50+ unit aerial work platform fleet was audited end-to-end. The audit covered serial-number traceability, original import paperwork, in-fleet service records, and the compliance markings carried by each machine. The same audit was extended to the used-equipment trade inventory reconditioned at our Pirangut workshop. The biggest practical change: we now bundle a Scheme-X-aligned compliance file with every used-equipment delivery, in addition to the original OEM paperwork.
On the DSPL side, EPS reviewed each in-house designed product family — Safe Load Indicators, Anti-Collision Systems, Load Moment Indicators, crane cameras, wind sensors, solar aviation lamps, T-Log telemetry. The DGCA + ICAO Annex 14 documentation already in place for solar aviation lamps fed directly into the Scheme X file. AMC India MRT (the distributed product line for AMC Instruments S.r.l.) was reviewed alongside its existing AMC documentation.
What didn't change: the engineering process. Scheme X is a documentation-and-traceability framework, not a redesign of how products are built or how fleets are operated. The internal process for hardware revisions, calibration, field service, and deployment audit was the same in March 2025 as it was in March 2024.
If you operate equipment under either DCEPL or DSPL and need specific documentation for a Scheme X requesting authority, email sales@dgoc.in with the equipment serial numbers and the requesting authority. Documentation is provided to existing customers at no charge.
