Case Study
Global First
Omega QMS Delivers Global First BIS Certification under IS 17806:2022 for Savera Group (Spain)
The first-ever BIS licence granted under IS 17806 — achieved with zero precedent, zero existing framework, and multiple manufacturing locations certified simultaneously.
Client Overview
M/s. Savera India Riding Systems Company Private Limited, part of the globally established Savera Group (Spain), is a leading manufacturer of elevator guide rails with a strong global footprint.
Project Objective
To obtain BIS certification under IS 17806:2022 for lift guide rails across multiple manufacturing locations in India — enabling regulatory compliance and supporting the company’s Make in India manufacturing strategy.
The Challenge
A Completely Uncharted Regulatory Path
This was not a routine certification — it was a global first.
This meant the entire certification framework had to be interpreted, structured, and operationalized from scratch.
Omega QMS Approach
Speed + Technical Depth + Policy Interface
Omega QMS executed this project through a highly integrated strategy combining regulatory expertise, deep technical engagement, and institutional coordination.
Building the Compliance Foundation (Upstream Integration)
A key dependency identified early was mandatory compliance of raw material with IS 2062. Omega QMS fast-tracked BIS certification for the group’s Indian raw material supplier — completing the entire process in an accelerated timeline to ensure no downstream delays.
Action
Fast-tracked IS 2062 BIS certification for raw material supplier on an accelerated timeline
Impact
End-to-end value chain compliance established. Major regulatory bottleneck eliminated at the outset.
Parallel Certification Strategy for Multiple Units
Instead of sequential processing, Omega QMS initiated parallel certification workflows for multiple manufacturing locations — ensuring simultaneous readiness across plants.
Approach
Parallel workflows across all manufacturing locations instead of sequential processing
Outcome
Significant reduction in overall project timeline. Faster market readiness for the client.
Deep Technical Collaboration (Global + India Teams)
This project required intensive technical alignment, not just documentation. Omega QMS worked closely with global engineering teams of Savera (Spain) and Indian manufacturing and quality teams.
Drawings & Specs
Detailed evaluation of drawings, product designations, and dimensional specifications
Configuration Alignment
Global product configurations mapped to Indian Standard requirements
Ambiguity Resolution
Multiple technical ambiguities resolved through iterative discussions and engineering validation
This level of engagement ensured zero deviation between design intent and regulatory compliance, and smooth acceptance during inspection and testing stages.
Policy-Level Engagement with BIS
Given the absence of an existing framework, Omega QMS undertook direct and continuous engagement with BIS at multiple levels — the Central Marks Department (BIS Headquarters) and regional BIS offices across jurisdictions.
Scheme of Inspection & Testing (SIT) finalization
Minimum Marking Fee determination
Execution Excellence & Speed
Despite being a first-of-its-kind case involving multiple unknowns, Omega QMS ensured accelerated processing at every stage, continuous follow-ups and real-time issue resolution, and seamless coordination between client teams, laboratories, and BIS authorities.
Speed
Accelerated execution despite high complexity and regulatory ambiguity at every stage
Coordination
Seamless alignment between client teams, laboratories, and BIS authorities throughout
Outcome Achieved
World’s first BIS certification under IS 17806:2022 — successfully granted
BIS licence obtained across multiple manufacturing locations simultaneously
Complete certification framework built from scratch and operationalized
End-to-end value chain compliance established (raw material to finished product)
Make in India manufacturing strategy for Savera Group fully enabled
Impact Delivered by Omega QMS
Regulatory
Created the first-ever certification precedent under IS 17806. Contributed to shaping the BIS framework itself.
Commercial
Enabled market access for a globally established group. Accelerated go-to-market across all manufacturing units.
Strategic
Demonstrated Omega QMS’s ability to navigate uncharted regulatory territory with speed, depth, and precision.
Key Insight
When no regulatory path exists, the right partner doesn’t wait for one — they help build it.
Conclusion
The Savera Group case stands as a landmark achievement in BIS certification history. With no Product Manual, no precedent, and no established framework, Omega QMS delivered a globally unprecedented outcome — on time, across multiple locations, and with full technical and policy rigour. This project exemplifies Omega QMS’s core strength: the ability to operate at the intersection of regulatory complexity, engineering depth, and institutional engagement.
