India BIS certification process——ZRLK

BIS certification is a product certification in India. It is supervised by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). According to different product types, BIS certification is divided into three types, including mandatory ISI mark certification, CRS certification, and voluntary certification. The BIS certification system has existed for more than 50 years, covering more than 1,000 products. All products included in the mandatory list must obtain BIS certification (ISI mark registration certification) before they can be sold in India.

BIS is a third-party certification body, and the certified products will be marked with the ISI label. The label has a great influence in India and neighboring countries, and has a good reputation, which is a reliable guarantee for product quality. Once the product is marked with the "ISI mark", it means that it meets the relevant Indian standards, and consumers can buy it with confidence.

India BIS certification process

1. Application

Foreign manufacturers who want to obtain BIS certification generally need to use a special application form and prepare relevant documents to apply to the BIS New Delhi headquarters.

2. Record

BIS reviews the application documents and materials submitted by the applicant, and records the application if the procedures are complete. Applicants must pay the corresponding processing fee.

3. Initial factory inspection

BIS will assign no more than 2 staff to the factory for inspection. The applicant shall bear the travel and visa expenses of the staff to the factory for inspection and the corresponding inspection expenses.

4. Issuing certificates

If the initial inspection and test results are qualified, and the applicant agrees to implement the BIS-approved inspection and test plan after certification and pays the BIS identification fee, a certificate can be issued to the applicant. The certificate is valid for 1 year. After the certificate is granted, the licensee has to pay the identification fee and the certificate annual fee every year.

5. Post-certification supervision

BIS monitors the quality of its certified products through routine supervision of licensees and unannounced inspections and tests of samples in factories and markets. If the periodic inspection, the samples taken from the factory or the market meet the requirements after the factory inspection and independent test results, the certificate can be renewed.
