What is BIS certification?
The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) certifies that products meet Indian Standards. For products covered by a government quality control order – many electrical goods, electronics, steel, cement, toys, appliances and more – BIS certification is mandatory before they can be made, imported or sold in India.
Main BIS schemes
| Scheme | Covers | Key steps |
|---|---|---|
| ISI mark (product certification) | Most products under quality control orders | Application, factory inspection, sample testing and licence |
| Compulsory Registration Scheme (CRS) | Notified electronics and IT products | Testing in a BIS-recognised lab and online registration |
| Foreign manufacturers (FMCS) | Overseas manufacturers of ISI-marked products | Application through an authorised Indian representative, with factory inspection |
