BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards) registration is the certification framework confirming a product meets defined Indian quality and safety standards — mandatory for a growing list of product categories.
Manufacturers of products falling under BIS's mandatory certification categories (which span electronics, electrical appliances, and various other product types) generally can't legally sell those products in India without valid BIS certification.
Registration involves demonstrating your product meets the applicable Indian Standard specification, typically through product testing and, in many cases, factory audit of your manufacturing and quality control processes.
Given the range of product categories covered and the periodic expansion of mandatory certification requirements, manufacturers should proactively confirm whether their specific products fall under current BIS mandatory certification rather than assuming they're exempt.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is BIS registration mandatory for all products?
No, it applies to specific product categories notified under mandatory certification schemes — confirming whether your specific product is covered is an important first step.
What happens if a covered product is sold without BIS certification?
This can lead to penalties and market restrictions, since certification is a legal requirement for covered categories.
