BIS REGISTRATION

Bis Registration

BIS certification is issued by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) in India. The BIS certification for products is voluntary. However, the Government of India has made it mandatory for certain products considering public health., protection of human, animal or plant health, safety of environment, prevention of unfair trade practices and national security. For such products, the Central Government directs mandatory use of Standard Mark under a Licence or Certificate of Conformity (CoC) from BIS through issuance of QCO.

Types of Bis Certification

There are two main types of certifications which are discussed below:

BIS-Certification (ISI) Includes Factory Inspection (Scheme I, ISI Mark Scheme)

The Foreign Manufacturers Certification Department (FMCD) issues the BIS ISI certification for foreign manufacturers. Since 2000 this authority has been responsible for the BIS certificate under the umbrella of BIS. Rules and regulations under which ISI certification is granted are set out in the Foreign Manufacturers Certification Scheme (FMCS). All products that comply with the FMCS regulations are marked with the ISI logo, also known as the “BIS Standard Mark” or “ISI Mark” in accordance with ISI Mark Scheme I.

BIS-Registration (CRS) Without Factory Inspection (Scheme II)

The BIS registration under CRS (Compulsory Registration Scheme) was introduced in 2012 for 15 product categories. Since then, new products have been added in phases. Based on the regulations published by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MEITY), foreign products for the Indian market can also obtain BIS registration. The BIS-CRS registration mainly covers products in the IT, electronics, and lighting categories, however the list of products subject to registration is constantly being expanded. This makes BIS registration according to CRS one of the most important and common registrations in India.
