Explanation

The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) recently notified IS 19445:2025, India's first dedicated national standard for bomb disposal systems. This makes Statement 1 correct.

The standard was formulated following a request from the Ministry of Home Affairs and the Terminal Ballistic Research Laboratory (TBRL), DRDO. It was developed indigenously under the Arms and Ammunition for Civilian Use Sectional Committee, without any collaboration from the 30th Central Scientific Research Institute, Russia. Thus, Statement 3 is incorrect.

The standard provides a comprehensive framework for evaluating bomb disposal systems against blast loads and splinter effects. By establishing uniform testing, certification, and procurement practices, it ensures quality-driven manufacturing and improves the interoperability and reliability of equipment used by various security agencies. Thus, Statement 2 is correct.
