What is BIS Registration?
BIS Registration refers to the certification process mandated by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS), a national standards body established under the Bureau of Indian Standards Act, 2016, under the Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution, Government of India. BIS ensures the quality, safety, and reliability of products through its certification schemes, which are mandatory for certain products to be manufactured, sold, or imported in India. BIS Registration is primarily associated with two schemes:
1. ISI Mark Certification (IS Certification): For products listed under the mandatory certification list, ensuring compliance with Indian Standards (IS).
2. Compulsory Registration Scheme (CRS): For electronics and IT goods, requiring registration with a Registration Number (R-number) before market entry.
BIS Registration is critical for manufacturers, importers, and exporters dealing with products under mandatory certification to ensure compliance with safety and quality standards, protect consumers, and facilitate trade. As of August 2025, over 370 products are under mandatory ISI certification, and 63 product categories (mostly electronics) fall under CRS. Non-compliance can lead to penalties, product seizures, or bans.
• Manufacturers: Indian or foreign manufacturers producing goods under BIS’s mandatory list (e.g., cement, steel, electronics, toys).
• Importers: Those importing BIS-regulated products into India.
• Exporters: For products requiring ISI certification for specific markets (though less common).
• Entities: Proprietorships, partnerships, private limited companies, LLPs, or other legal business entities with valid PAN and GST.
• Valid business registration (e.g., GST, incorporation certificate).
• Manufacturing facility or import documentation.
• Compliance with relevant Indian Standards (IS) for the product.
• Testing infrastructure or access to BIS-recognized labs.
• For foreign manufacturers, an Authorized Indian Representative (AIR) is mandatory.
1. ISI Mark Certification:
o Applies to products like cement, steel, electrical appliances, and toys.
o Requires factory audits, product testing, and compliance with Indian Standards.
o Involves a license issued after rigorous checks.
2. Compulsory Registration Scheme (CRS):

3. Foreign Manufacturers Certification Scheme (FMCS):

4. ECO Mark: Voluntary certification for environmentally friendly products.
5. Hallmarking: Mandatory for gold and silver jewelry to ensure purity.
