What is BIS Registration?

The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) is India's national standards body, operating under the BIS Act 2016. BIS certification is mandatory for products falling under Quality Control Orders (QCOs) issued by the Ministry and under the Compulsory Registration Scheme (CRS) for electronics and IT products notified by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY). The ISI mark is the BIS conformity mark issued for products tested against Indian Standards (IS codes) and is legally required for products like household wiring cables, cement, steel, packaged drinking water, baby food, helmets, and LPG cylinders. The CRS scheme covers electronics: mobile phones, LED lamps, power adaptors, power banks, and laptops — requiring Compulsory Registration on the BIS portal before sale. Foreign manufacturers can obtain BIS certification through the Foreign Manufacturers Certification Scheme (FMCS).

Frequently Asked Questions

What products require mandatory BIS certification?+

Over 100 product categories require mandatory BIS certification under Quality Control Orders (QCOs). Key categories include: electronics (mobiles, laptops, chargers, LED lamps, power banks), steel products, cement, packaged drinking water and mineral water, baby food and infant formula, helmets, LPG cylinders, wiring cables, and toys. Check BIS's mandatory product list at bis.gov.in for your specific product.

What is the difference between ISI mark and CRS registration?+

The ISI mark is granted for products tested against Indian Standards (IS codes) — typically manufacturing goods like steel, cement, cables. CRS (Compulsory Registration Scheme) applies to electronics and IT products notified by MeitY — products must be tested at BIS-empanelled labs and registered on the BIS portal before sale. CRS does not display the ISI mark but displays the BIS R-number.

Can a foreign manufacturer obtain BIS certification?+

Yes, through the Foreign Manufacturers Certification Scheme (FMCS). The foreign manufacturer applies through an Authorised Indian Representative (AIR), their factory is inspected by BIS officials (or an accredited body), and samples are tested at BIS labs. Golden Verdict can act as or arrange an AIR for foreign manufacturers.

How long is a BIS licence valid?+

BIS ISI mark licences are initially issued for 1 year and renewed annually. CRS registrations are valid for 2 years. Licence holders must maintain quality standards and are subject to annual surveillance inspections and market surveillance by BIS enforcement officers.

What happens if a product is sold without mandatory BIS certification?+

Selling products covered under mandatory BIS certification without a valid licence is an offence under the BIS Act 2016 — punishable with imprisonment up to 2 years and/or fine up to ₹2 lakh (first offence) and higher for repeat offences. BIS enforcement teams regularly conduct market surveillance and raids.
