What is BIS Certification
BIS Certification is a quality and safety mark issued by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS), ensuring that products sold in India meet strict regulatory and safety standards. It is mandatory for certain categories of products, especially electrical, electronic, and IT goods, before they can be legally marketed in the country.
For manufacturers, importers, and brand owners, BIS Certification is not just a compliance requirement—it’s a mark of trust. It guarantees that your products are safe, reliable, and meet all Indian regulatory norms.
At SS Global Services, we guide businesses through the entire BIS Certification process, from product testing and documentation to final approval. This ensures that your products reach the market quickly and without unnecessary delays.
Why it matters for your business:
- Legal Compliance: Avoid penalties and ensure your products meet Indian regulations.
- Consumer Confidence: Products with BIS Certification are trusted by customers and retailers alike.
- Market Access: Certification enables smooth sales and distribution across India.
Types of BIS Certification
BIS Certification is designed to ensure safety, quality, and compliance across a wide range of products. Depending on the type of product and regulatory requirements, there are different BIS schemes available:
BIS (ISI Mark) Certification
The ISI mark is issued for industrial and household products, guaranteeing that they comply with Indian safety and quality standards. It’s widely recognized and trusted by consumers and retailers alike.
BIS CRS Registration for Electronic Products
The CRS scheme is mandatory for electronics, IT, and telecom products sold in India. It ensures that these products meet all safety and performance standards before reaching consumers.
BIS for Foreign Manufacturers (FMCS)
FMCS is applicable to foreign manufacturers who want to sell their products in India. It ensures that imported goods comply with Indian quality and safety requirements, enabling smooth access to the Indian market.
BIS Scheme-X Certification
Scheme-X applies to products that require extended quality assurance beyond standard ISI certification. This ensures higher levels of reliability and safety for certain categories of goods.
Process of BIS Certification:
The process of getting a BIS Certification may feel complicated at first, but with the right guidance, it becomes smooth and hassle-free. BIS has defined a structured procedure that ensures only safe, reliable, and compliant products reach the Indian market. Here’s how the process works:
Step-by-step BIS Certification Process:
- 1. Application Submission:
Manufacturers or importers must apply to the Bureau of Indian Standards with complete details of their product, brand, and manufacturing unit. This step includes choosing the correct BIS scheme (CRS, ISI, FMCS, or Scheme-X).
- 2. Document Preparation:
All required documents such as test reports, product details, factory licenses, and company information are collected and submitted. Proper documentation is essential to avoid delays.
- 3. Product Testing:
Samples of the product are sent to BIS-recognized laboratories for testing. The tests verify whether the product meets Indian safety, quality, and performance standards.
- 4. Factory Inspection (If Required):
For certain schemes like ISI and FMCS, a BIS official may conduct a factory inspection to check production facilities, quality control systems, and compliance with standards.
- 5. Review & Approval:
Once the product passes all tests and inspections, BIS reviews the application and issues the certification. The manufacturer can then use the BIS mark (ISI, CRS, or FMCS) on the approved products.
- 6. Grant of Certification:
The BIS Certificate is granted, allowing products to be sold legally in India with full compliance. Renewal and surveillance audits are conducted periodically to maintain certification.
At SS Global Services, we assist clients at every stage of this process—right from identifying the correct standard to getting the final BIS license without unnecessary delays. With our expertise, brands can achieve faster approvals, avoid rejections, and enter the Indian market with complete compliance confidence.
