What is BIS Certification?

BIS came into existence in 1986 under the Act of Parliament. BIS certification incorporates testing, hallmarking, product certification, standard formulation, and calibration.

All Certifications
ISI mark certification
ISI mark certification is a product conformity scheme introduced by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) to ensure that goods manufactured or sold in India meet the required quality and safety benchmarks. The ISI mark on a product signifies that it has undergone rigorous testing and complies with the relevant Indian Standards. For several categories of products—such as electrical appliances, steel items, cement, automotive parts, and many others—ISI certification is mandatory, and products cannot be legally sold in the Indian market without this approval.
In essence, the ISI mark acts as a seal of trust and assurance for consumers. It guarantees that the product is reliable, durable, and safe for use. For manufacturers, obtaining the ISI certificate not only enhances brand credibility but also reduces product liability risks and ensures smoother market acceptance.
Process of Obtaining an ISI Certificate:
Securing ISI mark certification involves a structured and detailed procedure that requires careful compliance with BIS guidelines. Although the process may appear straightforward, it often becomes challenging due to technical requirements, documentation, product testing, factory inspections, and ongoing surveillance obligations. However, with our industry expertise and hands-on experience, we make this otherwise complex journey seamless and hassle-free.
The typical certification workflow includes identifying the applicable Indian Standard, preparing the necessary documents, submitting the BIS application, sending product samples to a BIS-recognized laboratory, completing factory evaluation, and finally receiving the ISI license upon successful compliance. Post-certification, the manufacturer must continue meeting BIS norms to maintain the license.
With our professional support, the entire process becomes efficient, compliant, and stress-free—ensuring your products reach the Indian market with complete confidence and regulatory approval.
BIS FMCS (Foreign Manufacturers Certification Scheme)
BIS FMCS (Foreign Manufacturers Certification Scheme) is a certification program offered by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) that allows foreign manufacturers to demonstrate compliance with Indian Standards. Any overseas manufacturer intending to sell regulated products in the Indian market must obtain the BIS FMCS license. This certification ensures that products meet the required safety, quality, and performance benchmarks before they reach Indian consumers.
For many foreign manufacturers, the FMCS certification process can be complex and time-consuming, especially when navigating Indian regulatory requirements for the first time. Documentation, testing procedures, inspections, and coordination with BIS can often seem overwhelming. That is why expert assistance becomes crucial. With the right guidance, manufacturers can streamline their certification journey and ensure timely market entry. Our role is to simplify the entire process and help businesses grow by ensuring they successfully obtain their BIS license without unnecessary delays.
Process of Obtaining an FMCS Certificate:
- Application Submission to BIS
The process begins with preparing and submitting a detailed application to BIS. This includes factory details, product specifications, quality control documentation, and compliance records.
- Factory Visit for Inspection
BIS officials conduct an on-site factory inspection to verify manufacturing capabilities, quality control systems, and production processes.
- Product Testing in BIS-Approved Labs
Product samples are drawn during the inspection and sent to BIS-recognized laboratories for testing. The tests ensure that the product adheres to the applicable Indian Standard.
- Grant of FMCS License
Once the test reports and inspection findings meet all requirements, BIS issues the FMCS license, allowing the manufacturer to legally sell products in India.
- Review of Test Report
BIS periodically reviews reports and may conduct surveillance inspections to ensure continued compliance.
BIS CRS (Compulsory Registration Scheme)
Under the Compulsory Registration Scheme (CRS), electronic products—whether imported into India or manufactured domestically—must comply with the applicable Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) regulations. This mandatory certification ensures that products meet defined safety and quality benchmarks, thereby safeguarding consumers and establishing uniformity in the Indian electronics market. The scheme plays a vital role in preventing the circulation of substandard electronic devices that could pose potential hazards.
In India, the Department of Electronics and Information Technology (DeitY), now known as MeitY, mandates CRS certification for 77 categories of electronic products. These include widely used items such as audio and video equipment, information technology devices, mobile phones, laptops, tablets, smart card readers, power adapters, LED lighting, and various other electronic gadgets. Any manufacturer—domestic or foreign—must ensure their products fall within compliance before being sold in the Indian market.
Foreign manufacturers intending to supply electronic goods in India must obtain the BIS license. Operating without this mandatory certification is a violation of the BIS Act and may lead to penalties, product recalls, or restrictions on sale. Hence, CRS registration becomes an essential requirement to legally and smoothly operate in the Indian electronics sector.
Process of Obtaining CRS Registration:
- Pre-Registration of Entity:
The manufacturer must create an account on the BIS portal and complete the initial registration process.
- Test Request Generation:
A test request is generated for the intended product to initiate testing as per relevant Indian standards.
- Product Testing in a BIS-Approved Lab:
The product sample is submitted to a BIS-recognized laboratory for comprehensive testing.
- Application Submission with Documents:
Once testing is complete, the manufacturer submits the final application along with test reports and required documents.
- Grant of CRS License:
After successful evaluation, BIS issues the CRS registration, enabling the product to be sold in the Indian market.
