Service Definition

What is BIS Certification and Why is it Mandatory?

BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards) certification is mandatory for importing or manufacturing certain notified product categories in India. Without a valid BIS certificate, these products cannot be imported, manufactured, or sold in the Indian market.

BIS administers two main certification schemes for manufactured goods: the ISI Mark Scheme for domestic Indian manufacturers, and the Foreign Manufacturers Certification Scheme (FMCS) for overseas producers exporting notified products to India. Additionally, the Compulsory Registration Scheme (CRS) applies to electronics and IT goods notified by the Ministry of Electronics and IT (MeitY). Both ISI Mark and FMCS require product testing at a BIS-accredited laboratory and a factory inspection.

How We Work

Our Process

A clear step-by-step approach from initial enquiry to final delivery.

Product Assessment

We identify the applicable IS Standard, confirm whether mandatory BIS certification applies to your product, and determine the correct scheme — ISI, FMCS, or CRS.

Application Preparation

BIS portal account is set up and the application is prepared with all required documents — product specs, factory details, quality manual, and authorised signatory information.

Lab Testing

Product samples are sent to a BIS-accredited NABL laboratory. We coordinate the testing schedule, sample preparation, and test report receipt.

Application Filing

BIS online portal application is filed with test reports and all supporting documents. We track the application status and respond to BIS queries.

Factory Inspection

BIS conducts a factory inspection for ISI Mark and FMCS. We prepare your team and facility in advance with a gap analysis and corrective action support.

Licence Receipt

After BIS grants the licence, we ensure correct ISI Mark marking instructions are followed and assist with ongoing annual surveillance and renewal.

Common Questions

Clear answers about how CargoMate handles bis certification services.

Answers reflect general practice. Contact CargoMate for guidance specific to your requirements.

Mandatory BIS applies to a wide range of products notified under various government orders: electronics and IT products (CRS scheme), toys, helmets, steel TMT bars, cement, LPG cylinders, pressure cookers, electrical cables and switches, fans, and many more. The list is expanded periodically.
The ISI Mark scheme applies to domestic Indian manufacturers of notified products. The FMCS (Foreign Manufacturers Certification Scheme) applies to overseas manufacturers who want to export notified products to India. Both require testing and factory inspection.
CRS (Compulsory Registration Scheme) is mandated by MeitY for specific electronics and IT products including mobile phones, laptops, power adapters, LED drivers, set-top boxes, smart watches, and many others. Registration must be done before sale or import in India.
CRS registration typically takes 4-8 weeks after test report receipt. ISI Mark and FMCS certification can take 3-6 months including testing, application processing, and factory inspection scheduling.
Generally no. A test licence from DPIIT for a small quantity may be possible for some categories while the regular BIS licence application is under process. Contact us to confirm what applies to your specific product.
