ISI Mark Certification – Mandatory for various products (like cement, steel, household appliances, etc.) to ensure they meet Indian safety and quality standards.
Compulsory Registration Scheme (CRS) – Applicable mainly for electronic and IT products, requiring manufacturers to register with BIS before selling in India.
Foreign Manufacturers Certification Scheme (FMCS) – Enables overseas manufacturers to obtain BIS certification and use the ISI mark for products exported to India.
Hallmarking Certification – Specifically for gold, silver, and other precious metals to guarantee purity and authenticity.
BIS certification offers multiple advantages for both businesses and consumers. It assures that the product meets the required Indian safety and quality standards, thereby safeguarding consumer health and building trust in the brand. For many products, BIS certification is mandatory to gain legal access to the Indian market, which makes it a crucial requirement for manufacturers and importers. Certified products also face fewer chances of rejection, complaints, or regulatory issues, ensuring smoother business operations. For Indian manufacturers, BIS certification enhances export potential, while for foreign manufacturers it provides a gateway to legally enter the Indian market. In addition, it protects consumer interests by eliminating the risk of substandard or unsafe goods and strengthens a company’s reputation by demonstrating its commitment to quality, safety, and compliance. Overall, BIS certification not only ensures regulatory adherence but also acts as a strong competitive advantage in the marketplace.

The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) Certification is a mark of quality, safety, and reliability for products sold in India. Obtaining BIS Certification involves a systematic process to ensure that the product meets the required Indian Standards.
Identify the Applicable Standard
Determine the Indian Standard (IS) code relevant to your product.
Check whether the product falls under mandatory or voluntary certification.
Choose the Type of Certification Scheme
ISI Mark Scheme (for Indian manufacturers).
CRS (Compulsory Registration Scheme) (mainly for electronics/IT products).
FMCS (Foreign Manufacturers Certification Scheme) (for overseas manufacturers).
Prepare Documentation
Submit all required documents such as business license, product test reports, factory details, quality control plan, etc.
Product Testing
Get the product tested in a BIS-approved laboratory.
Test results must comply with the relevant Indian Standard.
Application Submission
Apply online on the BIS portal along with the prescribed fee.
Upload test reports and necessary documents.
Factory Inspection (if applicable)
BIS officials may conduct an on-site inspection to evaluate manufacturing facilities, quality control systems, and product compliance.
Grant of License / Registration
After successful evaluation, BIS issues a license (for ISI/FMCS) or registration number (for CRS).
The manufacturer can then use the BIS Standard Mark on the product.
Surveillance / Renewal
Regular surveillance audits and sample testing are conducted by BIS.
The license/registration must be renewed as per the scheme requirements.
With BIS Certification, businesses not only comply with Indian regulations but also gain consumer trust, enhance market acceptance, and build a strong brand reputation.
BIS Certification is issued by the Bureau of Indian Standards to ensure that a product meets the required Indian Standards for quality, safety, and reliability. It allows manufacturers to use the ISI Mark or Standard Mark on their products.
The timeline depends on the type of certification:
CRS Registration: 15–30 days (approx.).
ISI Mark: 30–60 days (including factory inspection).
FMCS: 6 months (due to foreign inspections and document verification).
The BIS license/registration is usually valid for two years and can be renewed thereafter, subject to product compliance and payment of renewal fees.
Yes. Through the FMCS scheme, foreign manufacturers can apply for BIS Certification, but they must appoint an Authorized Indian Representative (AIR) to liaise with BIS.
