Overview
What is BIS Certification?
The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) certifies that products meet the relevant Indian Standards. Many products, including several electronics, steel items, cement, toys and household appliances, are under mandatory certification and cannot be sold in India without it. Depending on the product, this may be the ISI mark under the Product Certification Scheme or registration under the Compulsory Registration Scheme (CRS).
Our experts identify the applicable scheme and standard, help arrange testing at BIS-recognised labs, prepare the application and support you through factory inspection where required. Licences and registrations are granted by BIS.
