BIS certification at a glance

Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) schemes cover quality, safety, and conformity for products sold or imported into India. Routes differ: ISI mark for many domestic mandatory products, CRS for notified electronics, FMCS for overseas manufacturers, Hallmark for jewelry, and Scheme X for machinery and equipment under omnibus technical regulations. Quick map: certification types · Steps: process by scheme · document hub.

What we handle

  • IS code / product mapping and scheme selection (ISI vs CRS vs FMCS)
  • BIS-recognized lab testing coordination and report review
  • Online applications, factory inspection readiness, and query responses
  • AIR and documentation support for CRS where applicable
  • Renewals, marking compliance, and post-licence changes

Importer or foreign factory?

FMCS and many CRS filings involve different evidence than domestic ISI licensing. We align your manufacturing location, product SKUs, and Indian representative requirements before you commit to testing and fees.

Why It Matters

Non-Compliance Isn't a Risk —
It's a Guarantee of Loss

BIS certification is mandatory for selling products in India. Without it, your products face seizure, penalties, and permanent market exclusion.

Product Seizure & Destruction

Customs authorities can seize and destroy non-compliant products at the port of entry.

₹

Heavy Monetary Penalties

Fines up to ₹2,00,000 per violation and recurring penalties for continued non-compliance.

Import Bans at Customs

Your shipments can be blocked indefinitely, disrupting supply chains and costing revenue.

Criminal Liability for Directors

Company directors face personal criminal liability including potential imprisonment.

⚠ Don't wait until enforcement catches up: Non-compliant products are being actively targeted by BIS and customs authorities across all ports and marketplaces in India.

Across BIS schemes

Manufacturer, importer & Indian representation

BIS routes depend on where products are made, who places them on the market, and which scheme applies. Registrations, testing, and factory audits are not interchangeable between ISI, CRS, and FMCS.

Domestic manufacturer

Indian factories placing mandatory ISI or Scheme X products on the market typically follow in-country licensing, in-house or lab testing, and BIS factory inspection where required.

ISI / Scheme X

Foreign manufacturer

Overseas sites selling into India often use FMCS or CRS paths with documentation, audit, and testing aligned to BIS rules for the declared product and standard.

FMCS / CRS

Brand owner / importer

Companies that import or brand regulated goods may need CRS registration, FMCS licensing, or ISI routes depending on product category and supply chain structure.

Import & branding

Authorized Indian Representative (AIR)

For many CRS filings, an AIR acts as the local counterpart for applications and compliance. Requirements are scheme-specific; we confirm what applies to your models.

CRS & foreign brands

Multiple schemes?

Some businesses need CRS plus ISI or FMCS plus Hallmark for different product lines. We align one roadmap and reuse KYC where portals allow.

Understanding BIS

Bureau of Indian Standards — why it matters

BIS is India’s national standards body. Compulsory registration and licensing schemes ensure products meet Indian standards before sale or import. Non-compliance can mean customs holds, penalties, and market withdrawal for regulated categories.

Diligence Certifications supports scheme selection, lab coordination, dossier preparation, portal filing, inspection readiness, liaison on queries, and renewals so your certifications stay valid and audit-ready.

Eligibility

Who typically needs BIS?

Manufacturers, importers, and brand owners placing notified or mandatory products on the Indian market — plus entities that need valid marks or registration numbers for customs, e-commerce, or enterprise buyers.

Domestic manufacturers

Factories making products under compulsory ISI or Scheme X technical regulations and selling in India.

Importers & foreign OEMs

Brands shipping into India that need FMCS, CRS, or other BIS conformity routes before clearance or retail.

Electronics & IT brands

Companies with SKUs under the Compulsory Registration Scheme for notified electronic and IT goods.

Jewelry & precious metals

Entities requiring Hallmark registration and compliance with BIS hallmarking rules for gold and silver.

CRS vs factory licensing

CRS registration is not the same as ISI mark licensing for a manufacturing site. The right path depends on product category, standards, and where goods are produced. We map both sides for your operating model.

Why certify
