How to Get ISI/BIS Certification: A Comprehensive Guide

The ISI (Indian Standards Institute) mark is a certification mark that denotes a product’s compliance with the Indian Standards set by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). The BIS certification is mandatory for a wide range of products to ensure safety, reliability, and quality for consumers in India. Acquiring an ISI/BIS certification is crucial for manufacturers and importers who wish to market their products in India. This article outlines the process to obtain ISI/BIS certification and highlights the role of Omega QMS Pvt Ltd in facilitating this process.

Steps to Obtain ISI/BIS Certification

1. Determine Applicability

The first step is to identify whether your product falls under the purview of mandatory BIS certification. BIS has a list of products that require certification, ranging from electrical appliances and toys to cement and steel products.

2. Understand the Standards

Each product category has specific Indian Standards associated with it. Understanding these standards is crucial to ensure that your product meets all technical requirements.

3. Application Submission

Manufacturers need to register on the BIS portal and submit an application for certification. The application must include:

• Detailed product information
• Manufacturing process details
• Factory location and layout
• Testing reports from a BIS-approved laboratory

4. Factory Inspection

Once the application is submitted, BIS officials will conduct a factory inspection. During this inspection, they verify the production process, quality control measures, and infrastructure.

5. Sample Testing

Samples of the product are collected during the factory inspection and sent to a BIS-certified laboratory for testing. The test results must confirm compliance with the relevant Indian Standards.

6. Grant of License

If the factory inspection and product testing are satisfactory, BIS grants the license to use the ISI mark on the product. This certification is valid for a specific period and requires periodic renewal.

Challenges in Obtaining ISI/BIS Certification

The process of obtaining ISI/BIS certification can be complex, involving rigorous documentation, testing, and compliance checks. Manufacturers often face challenges such as:

• Understanding technical standards
• Preparing accurate documentation
• Managing factory inspections
• Addressing non-conformities in testing
