BIS Certification, issued by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS), ensures that products meet prescribed quality, safety, and performance standards in India. While certification is voluntary for many products, it is mandatory for over 380 essential products to safeguard public health and consumer interests.
Obtaining a BIS Certificate enhances product credibility, builds consumer confidence, and allows eligible products to carry the prestigious ISI Mark, demonstrating compliance with Indian Standards.
LegallensIndia simplifies the complete BIS Registration process by assisting manufacturers, importers, and exporters in obtaining BIS Certification quickly and efficiently.
The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) is the National Standards Body of India established under the Bureau of Indian Standards Act, 2016. Operating under the Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Food & Public Distribution, BIS is responsible for standardisation, product certification, hallmarking, and quality assurance across various industries.
Indian and foreign manufacturers producing products covered under mandatory certification schemes are required to obtain a BIS Registration Certificate before manufacturing, importing, or selling such products in India.
The BIS Registration process can be completed online through the official BIS Portal, enabling manufacturers to demonstrate compliance with Indian quality and safety standards.
Any legally recognised organisation involved in manufacturing, assembling, importing, exporting, or supplying products can apply for BIS Certification.
Both Indian and foreign manufacturers are eligible to apply, provided they possess valid business registration documents and comply with the applicable BIS standards.
The Bureau of Indian Standards offers multiple certification schemes based on product type and regulatory requirements.
Under the Compulsory Registration Scheme (CRS), specified products must obtain BIS Registration before being manufactured, imported, or sold in India. The scheme aims to protect consumer safety, national security, and environmental interests.
| Product Category | Examples |
|---|---|
| Electronics & IT Products | Laptops, Tablets, Mobile Phones, Printers, LED Lights, etc. |
| Domestic Electrical Appliances | Electric Irons, Ceiling Fans, Water Heaters, LED Lamps, etc. |
| Automobile Components | Tyres, Tubes, Safety Glass, etc. |
| Steel Products | Steel Pipes and Related Materials. |
Products covered under CRS must be tested in BIS-recognised laboratories before registration.
Manufacturers whose products are not covered under mandatory certification may voluntarily obtain BIS Certification to improve product credibility and consumer confidence.
| Product Category | Examples |
|---|---|
| Textiles & Leather Products | Garments, Footwear, Leather Goods, etc. |
| Chemicals & Petrochemicals | Paints, Adhesives, Varnishes, etc. |
| Construction Materials | Cement, Steel Doors, Sanitary Fittings, etc. |
| Domestic Appliances | Kitchen Appliances, Water Heaters, Air Conditioners, etc. |
The Foreign Manufacturers Certification Scheme (FMCS) enables overseas manufacturers to obtain BIS Certification for products intended to be exported and sold in the Indian market.
Foreign manufacturers may apply through an Authorised Indian Representative (AIR) or establish their own representative office in India. The scheme covers products such as electronics, consumer goods, industrial equipment, and several other regulated products.
BIS also administers the Hallmarking Scheme for certifying the purity and fineness of gold and silver
BIS Hallmark Certification guarantees that precious metal articles conform to the prescribed purity standards. It protects consumers against fraudulent practices while ensuring transparency and confidence in the jewellery market.
The Product Certification Scheme (PCS) covers a wide range of products that require verification against applicable Indian Standards, even if they are not covered under the Compulsory Registration Scheme (CRS).
| Product Category | Examples |
|---|---|
| Industrial Products | Machinery, Pressure Vessels, Industrial Valves, etc. |
| Electrical Products | Cables, Switches, Circuit Breakers, etc. |
| Chemicals & Pharmaceuticals | Specified Chemicals and Pharmaceutical Products. |

To obtain a Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) License, applicants must satisfy the prescribed eligibility criteria.
BIS Certification provides numerous commercial and regulatory advantages for manufacturers and businesses.
Applicants are required to submit the following documents while applying for a BIS Registration Certificate.
The Bureau of Indian Standards follows a structured registration process to verify that products comply with the applicable Indian Standards before granting certification.
The first step is to determine whether the product falls under mandatory BIS Certification or voluntary certification. This can be verified through the official BIS Portal or by consulting BIS experts.
After confirming applicability, the applicant must submit the BIS Registration application along with complete product details, manufacturing information, quality control measures, test reports, and supporting documents.
The Bureau of Indian Standards examines the submitted application and supporting documents to ensure that all prescribed requirements have been fulfilled and the product falls within the applicable Indian Standard.
Product samples are tested in BIS-recognised laboratories against the relevant Indian Standards to verify compliance with quality, safety, and performance requirements.
For certain certification schemes, BIS officials conduct an inspection of the manufacturing facility to verify production processes, quality control systems, testing facilities, and compliance with applicable standards.
Upon successful completion of document verification, laboratory testing, and factory inspection (where applicable), BIS issues the Registration Certificate, authorising the manufacturer to use the BIS Standard Mark or ISI Mark on the certified product.
Consumers, importers, distributors, and regulatory authorities can verify the authenticity of a BIS Certificate online through the official BIS Portal.
Open the official Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) website and navigate to the online certification verification section.
Select the 'Online Certificate Verification' or 'Certificate Search' option available under the certification services section.
Provide the BIS Certificate Number, product name, manufacturer details, or other relevant information to initiate the certificate verification process.
The portal displays the certificate status, validity, manufacturer information, certified product details, and the applicable Indian Standard, allowing users to verify the authenticity of the BIS Certificate.
BIS Certification is subject to periodic surveillance to ensure that certified products continue to comply with the applicable Indian Standards throughout the validity period.
