BIS/ISI Certification, also known as Indian Standards Institution (ISI) certification or Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) certification, is a quality assurance program in India. It is administered by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS), a statutory body established under the Bureau of Indian Standards Act, 1986. The primary goal of BIS/ISI Certification is to ensure that products sold in India meet established quality, safety, and reliability standards. This certification applies to a diverse range of products, including electronics, appliances, food items, and industrial goods.
The BIS/ISI Certification ProcessManufacturers seeking BIS/ISI Certification must meet specific safety and quality standards set by the BIS. This typically requires thorough product testing at BIS-recognized laboratories to confirm compliance with Indian standards. Once a product successfully passes all required tests, it is granted BIS/ISI certification, indicated by the ISI mark. This ISI mark serves as a visible assurance to consumers that the product meets Indian standards and signifies reliability.
Why BIS/ISI Certification MattersBIS/ISI Certification is often mandatory for certain products sold in India. Non-compliance can lead to significant legal consequences, including fines, product confiscation, and legal action against manufacturers. Both domestic and international manufacturers should treat BIS/ISI Certification as an essential step to gain access to the Indian market and succeed in it.

BIS operates the Compulsory Registration Scheme for electronics and IT products. The grant of license and its operation are carried out in accordance with the conformity assessment scheme outlined in Scheme II of Schedule II of the BIS (Conformity Assessment) Regulations, 2018.
There are currently 76 product categories recognised under CRS, with MEITY adding 63 products, MNRE adding five, and MHIPE adding eight. Smartwatches, laptops, digital cameras, wireless microphones, printers, set top boxes, wireless keyboards, power banks, and other products are among those that require mandatory BIS registration.

According to CRS Orders, no one shall manufacture or store for sale, sell, import, or distribute goods that do not comply with the Indian standard specified in the order and do not bear the Standard Mark with a unique registration number obtained from BIS. BIS grants a license to the manufacturers to use or apply Standard Mark with unique R-number on electronics and IT products.
BIS notifies that this responsibility is of the foreign manufacturer to get the product tested by any BIS recognized laboratory. The registered imported products will be picked up from the market or from the local representative of the foreign manufacturer during surveillance.
