Overview
BIS Certification is a mandatory or voluntary product certification issued by the Bureau of Indian Standards to ensure that products meet prescribed quality, safety, and reliability standards in India. BIS functions under the Ministry of Consumer Affairs and operates as the national standards body of India. Products that fall under mandatory certification cannot be manufactured, imported, distributed, or sold in India without obtaining BIS approval.
BIS certification is governed by the BIS Act, 2016 and related rules and regulations. The most common certification scheme is the ISI Mark Certification for domestic manufacturers. For electronic and IT products, registration is required under the Compulsory Registration Scheme. Foreign manufacturers exporting products to India must obtain Foreign Manufacturer Certification. The BIS mark assures consumers that the product complies with Indian Standards in terms of safety and performance.
Several categories of products require mandatory BIS certification such as electrical appliances, electronics, steel products, cement, pressure cookers, cables, automotive components, and more. Without BIS approval, customs authorities may restrict imports, and domestic manufacturers may face penalties, product recalls, and prosecution. Certification enhances market acceptance and builds trust among consumers and regulatory authorities.
