BIS Certification

What is BIS Certification?

BIS Certification is a product quality certification issued by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS), the national standards body of India. It ensures that products comply with prescribed Indian Standards (IS) related to safety, quality, and performance.

BIS certification is mandatory for certain products before they can be manufactured, imported, distributed, or sold in the Indian market.

Why is BIS Certification Important?

  • Ensures product safety and quality compliance
  • Mandatory for products under the compulsory list
  • Required for import and customs clearance
  • Enhances consumer trust and brand value
  • Prevents legal penalties and market restrictions

Without BIS certification (where applicable), products cannot be legally marketed in India.

1. ISI Mark Scheme

Applicable mainly for domestic manufacturers and certain foreign manufacturers under FMCS. Products receive permission to use the ISI Mark.
