BIS Certification in India
CRS registration, ISI mark licence and FMCS for foreign manufacturers — assistance from applicability check and lab testing to grant of certification.
Proof that your product meets the Indian Standard
The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) is India’s national standards body under the BIS Act, 2016. BIS certification confirms that a product conforms to the relevant Indian Standard (IS).
For many products it is mandatory — notified electronics under the Compulsory Registration Scheme, and products covered by Quality Control Orders. Such products cannot be manufactured, imported, sold or supplied without valid BIS certification. For others it is voluntary, but still a strong signal of quality in tenders and with buyers.

BIS — FAQs
Check whether it is notified under CRS or covered by a Quality Control Order. Share the product name, HSN code and specifications with us and we confirm the applicable standard and scheme.
No. CRS is a registration for notified electronics and IT goods based on lab testing. The ISI mark is a licence under the product certification scheme that also involves factory inspection and surveillance.
BIS certification is granted to the manufacturer for a specific factory. Importers and brand owners work with the manufacturer; foreign manufacturers appoint an Authorised Indian Representative.
Yes. Registrations and licences are valid for a fixed period and must be renewed on time, along with any surveillance requirements.
We coordinate sample submission with a suitable BIS-recognised lab and track the test report. Testing charges are paid as per the lab’s rates.
