The Bureau of Indian Standards has released IS 19445:2025 - Bomb Disposal Systems - Performance Evaluation and Requirements. It is India's first dedicated standard for performance evaluation and requirements of bomb disposal systems. The standard was prepared after a request from the Ministry of Home Affairs and DRDO's Terminal Ballistic Research Laboratory, because deployment of such systems is increasing across security and civilian agencies and India did not have a dedicated standard for their performance evaluation. For exams, the issue links science and technology with internal security, standardisation and self-reliance. The standard is relevant to equipment such as bomb blankets, bomb baskets and bomb inhibitors. Its technical focus is evaluation against blast loads and splinter effects. It covers test equipment, test range conditions, evaluation procedures, test methodologies, test specimens and acceptance criteria. The importance is not only technical; it creates a uniform basis for procurement, testing and certification. Manufacturers, testing agencies and procuring bodies can assess equipment against the same performance benchmark. PIB states that the standard is intended for voluntary adoption by procurement agencies, manufacturers and testing bodies, but it is expected to improve operator, first-responder and public safety, equipment reliability and interoperability across agencies. In prelims, the name IS 19445:2025, the issuing body, the Home Ministry-DRDO role and the blast-splinter evaluation focus can be asked directly. In mains, it can be used as an example for internal security systems, Make in India, public safety and technology standardisation.
