Overview
BIS Act, 2016BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards) Registration is a mandatory product quality certification under the BIS Act, 2016 for specified product categories sold in India. It ensures products meet Indian Standards (IS) for safety, quality, and reliability. BIS offers multiple schemes: ISI Mark (domestic manufacturers), Compulsory Registration Scheme (CRS) (electronics & IT products), and FMCS (foreign manufacturers). Over 380+ products across 19 categories require mandatory BIS certification. Selling non-certified products attracts penalties, product seizure, and business closure. We handle end-to-end BIS certification including product testing, factory inspection, documentation, and license approval.
