BIS Registration Certificate – A Complete Overview

BIS stands for the Bureau of Indian Standards, the National Standards Body of India established under the BIS Act, 2016. The primary purpose of BIS registration in India is to ensure standardization, quality, and safety of products through proper marking and compliance procedures.

All manufacturers—whether Indian or foreign—producing goods that fall under mandatory certification are required to obtain a BIS Registration Certificate. The application process can be completed online through the official BIS portal.

Why BIS Registration is Important?

BIS Registration is essential to ensure that your product meets the safety, quality, and performance standards defined by the Bureau of Indian Standards. For manufacturers and importers, BIS certification not only builds customer trust but also makes your product legally eligible to be sold in the Indian market. By complying with BIS norms, you protect your brand from penalties, product recalls, and market restrictions. BIS Registration enhances product credibility, boosts customer trust, and strengthens your brand reputation across all regulated product categories. It ensures that your products—regardless of the industry—meet India’s mandatory safety, quality, and performance standards.

BIS Certification Eligibility Requirements

Domestic and International Manufacturers

Any manufacturer—whether operating within India or outside—producing products listed under the Compulsory Registration Order (CRO) is eligible to apply for BIS Registration. At Quality Solutions, we assist both Indian and foreign manufacturers in completing the certification process seamlessly.

Location-Specific Registration

Manufacturers must obtain a separate BIS Registration Number for products manufactured at different locations. Each production site is evaluated independently to ensure it complies with the required BIS standards. Quality Solutions provides complete guidance to help manufacturers of all scales meet location-specific compliance norms.

Brand-Specific Registration at the Same Manufacturing Unit

If a manufacturer produces multiple brands at the same location, each brand requires its own BIS Registration Number. This ensures transparency, traceability, and brand-wise compliance. Our team at Quality Solutions simplifies this process by managing documentation, brand-specific submissions, and ensuring accurate registration for every product line.

Categories of BIS Certification Schemes

1. BIS CRS Certification (Compulsory Registration Scheme)

Under the mandate of the Ministry of Electronics & Information Technology (MeitY), several electronic and IT products must obtain CRS Registration before being sold in India. This scheme ensures that all electronic products meet the essential safety and performance standards. Quality Solutions provides complete assistance for CRS compliance, testing, and documentation.

2. ISI Mark Certification

The ISI Mark is one of India’s most trusted quality symbols. It ensures that a product meets the Indian Standard prescribed for its category. Currently, 644+ product categories require mandatory ISI Certification. This scheme protects the Indian market from sub-standard products and ensures consumer safety.

3. FMCS – Foreign Manufacturers Certification Scheme

FMCS is designed specifically for overseas manufacturers who want to sell regulated products in India. BIS ensures that foreign-made products comply with Indian quality norms before entering the market. Our team at Quality Solutions supports global manufacturers in navigating the FMCS process smoothly.

4. Hallmark Registration for Precious Metals

Hallmarking certifies the purity of gold, silver, and platinum jewellery. Since 1st April 2023, BIS has made Hallmark Unique Identification Number (HUID) mandatory on all 14k, 18k, and 22k gold jewellery sold in India. This scheme safeguards buyers against adulteration and ensures authenticity.

5. Management System Certifications

BIS also certifies organizations for various management systems, including:

- Quality Management Systems (QMS)
- Environmental Management Systems (EMS)
- Food Safety Management Systems (FSMS)
  These certifications demonstrate strong operational standards and enhanced business credibility.

6. ECO Mark Certification

The ECO Mark scheme promotes environmentally friendly and sustainable products. It is awarded to products meeting both BIS standards and specified environmental criteria. Categories include detergents, paints, food items, packaging materials, coir products, and more.

7. Laboratory Recognition Scheme

To ensure accurate testing and safety compliance, BIS recognizes laboratories that meet strict testing and infrastructure requirements. Recognized labs are authorized to carry out testing under BIS certification schemes.

8. Recognition of Assaying and Hallmarking Centres (AHC)

BIS also certifies assaying and hallmarking centres that test the purity of precious metals. This ensures that hallmarking activities are carried out with complete accuracy and transparency.
