BIS Certification is voluntary in nature; however, the Government of India has made BIS certification mandatory for certain products taking public health into consideration.
Bureau of Indian Standards
BIS Certification is provided in India by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS), the National Standards Body has been successfully promoting and nurturing standards movement within the country since 1947. BIS came into existence in 1987 through an Act of Parliament. BIS is involved in various activities like standards formulation, certification of products, hallmarking, testing and calibration scheme and more.
BIS Product Certification Scheme
BIS product Certification Scheme is one of the largest in the world. BIS Certification allows the licenses to use the popular ISI mark on their product, which is synonymous with quality products. As per Government notification, 90 products are mandatorily required to have BIS certification. BIS also operates Foreign Manufacturers Certification Scheme under which overseas manufacturers can be granted license to use the BIS Standard Mark.
Types of BIS Certification Schemes
BIS Certification is provided in India for products under different types of schemes as follows:
Normal Procedure for Domestic Manufacturers
The applicant is required to submit the BIS Certification application with required documents and requisite fee. After submitting the application, a preliminary factory evaluation is carried out by a BIS officer. Then samples are tested in the factory and also drawn for independent testing. BIS certification is provided if the sample is acceptable. In this method, BIS Certification is expected to be granted within 4 months of submission of application.
Simplified Procedure for Domestic Manufacturers
In the simplified procedure, the applicant submits a test report of the sample from a BIS approved lab along with an application for BIS Certification. If the test report is satisfactory, then a verification of the factory premises is carried out by a BIS Officer. BIS Certification is granted if the verification of BIS Officer is satisfactory. Under this method, a license is expected to be granted within 30 days of submission of BIS Certification application with the required documents and test report.
ECO Mark Scheme
BIS License for eco-friendly products is granted in a scheme separate from the normal BIS Certification process. Eco-friendly products should conform to additional requirements specified in the Indian Standards to qualify for the ECO mark.
