BIS Certification Advisory
Selling products that fall under mandatory BIS standards, or want the credibility of the ISI mark? We coordinate testing and certification end-to-end.
What Does BIS Certification Cover?
Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) certification confirms a product meets the relevant Indian quality standard, and for a growing list of product categories -- electronics, steel, toys, cement and more -- it's mandatory under the Compulsory Registration Scheme before the product can be sold or imported.
Certification involves testing at a BIS-recognised lab and a factory/process audit, and the certificate needs periodic renewal along with maintaining quality control at the manufacturing stage.
| Mandatory Registration Scheme (CRS) | Voluntary ISI Mark |
|---|---|
| Required for specified product categories by law | Optional, for products not under mandatory scope |
| Cannot sell/import without it, for covered products | Used to build buyer trust and market credibility |
| Involves product testing and registration with BIS | Involves testing and licensing under Indian Standards |
| Applies to categories like electronics, steel, toys | Common across a broader range of consumer products |
