Market Access to India through Regulatory Compliance
BIS product certification scheme specific to foreign manufacturers is called the “Foreign Manufacturers’ Certification Scheme” (FMCS). Started in the year 2000, BIS licence is granted to a manufacturer located outside India through an on-site audit.
To regulate trade and commerce, the Govt. of India has issued various technical regulations for hundreds of products, making BIS Certification mandatory for such identified products for consideration of health, safety, security, environment, mass consumption and deceptive trade practices.
For facilitating access to markets in India by foreign manufacturers, we are partnering a large number of major manufacturers of steels, tyres, cements, electrical cables and appliances, food products, etc., in Asia (China, Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, Vietnam, Indonesia, Thailand, Nepal, Bangladesh, etc.); Europe (UK, Turkey, Austria, Germany, Greece, etc.), Iran and the USA for BIS certification. We provide an array of technical support services covering documentation, filing of application with BIS, audit preparation, coordinating with BIS and liaison with concerned officials, testing of samples in laboratories in India, etc.
If required, we also act as Authorized Indian Representatives (AIR) of foreign manufacturers, which is required for BIS licence and also offer client-based coordination with local office of the AIR, where needed.
