Our BIS Certification Services

We provide end-to-end BIS certification across all schemes recognized by the Bureau of Indian Standards:

Our BIS Certification Process

We've streamlined BIS certification into four clear, manageable steps:

Step 1: Initial Consultation & Eligibility Assessment

Our former BIS officers review your product, manufacturing setup, and documentation to:

  • Confirm applicable BIS scheme (ISI, FMCS, CRS, or voluntary certification)
  • Identify required Indian Standard (IS code) and latest version
  • Assess factory compliance with BIS requirements
  • Evaluate existing test reports and documentation
  • Provide realistic timeline estimate and identify potential obstacles
  • Recommend optimal certification strategy (standard vs simplified vs tatkal)

Output: Clear roadmap with timeline, documentation checklist, cost estimate, and action plan.

Step 2: Documentation Preparation & Application Submission

We prepare and compile all required documentation to BIS specifications:

  • Company registration and legal documents
  • Manufacturing license and authorization letters
  • Factory layout plans with equipment details
  • Quality control procedures and testing protocols
  • Product technical specifications and drawings
  • Test reports from NABL-accredited laboratories
  • ISI mark usage undertakings and compliance declarations

Our team reviews every document for accuracy and completeness before submission through BIS online portal (SUGAM) or physical submission as required. Documentation perfection eliminates the #1 cause of BIS application rejection.

Step 3: Factory Inspection & Sample Testing

For ISI Mark and FMCS schemes, BIS conducts on-site factory inspection. We prepare you for success:

  • Pre-inspection audit - Omega QMS auditor (former BIS officer) visits your facility to identify gaps
  • Corrective action guidance - Detailed recommendations to meet BIS requirements
  • Staff training - Brief your team on inspector expectations and proper responses
  • Mock inspection - Simulate BIS visit to build confidence
  • Inspection coordination - Schedule with BIS, ensure all stakeholders present
  • Sample drawing supervision - Ensure proper samples selected for lab testing
  • Testing follow-up - Monitor lab results and address any non-conformities

Our preparation ensures 98%+ first-time factory inspection pass rate compared to industry average of 60-70%.

Step 4: License Grant & Ongoing Compliance

Once BIS grants your license, we ensure sustained compliance:

  • ISI mark implementation - Proper mark usage on products and packaging
  • Marking fee calculation and payment - Accurate reporting to avoid penalties
  • Surveillance audit preparation - BIS conducts periodic surprise inspections
  • Annual license renewal reminders - Never miss deadlines
  • Regulatory updates - Notify you of Indian Standard revisions or QCO changes
