Understanding BIS and Its Importance in Global Trade

In the evolving world of international trade, compliance plays a crucial role in ensuring that goods move across borders seamlessly and lawfully. Among the many regulatory frameworks that exporters and importers must navigate, the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) stands out as a key certification body that governs product quality and safety in India. 

What is BIS?

The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) is the national standards body of India, responsible for the development and implementation of quality standards for products across various industries. It operates under the Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Food & Public Distribution, Government of India.
The primary objective of BIS is to ensure that products entering or being sold in the Indian market meet the required quality, safety, and reliability standards. BIS certification is mandatory for certain goods—especially in sectors like electronics, construction, chemicals, and consumer products.

Types of BIS Certifications

There are three main types of BIS certifications:
Metalworker inspecting custom mechanical parts in metallurgy fabric

ISI Mark Certification

For products manufactured in India and listed under the mandatory certification scheme.
Engineers working on a sustainable energy project.

Compulsory Registration Scheme (CRS)

Mainly for electronics and IT products. Manufacturers must register their products under CRS before selling in India.

Foreign Manufacturer Certification Scheme (FMCS)
