Certification Introduction
BIS certification is a product certification in India, regulated by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). Depending on the type of product, BIS certification is divided into three types, including mandatory ISI mark certification, CRS certification, and voluntary certification. The BIS certification system has a history of over 50 years and covers more than 1,000 types of products. Any product listed on the mandatory list must obtain BIS certification (ISI Mark registration certification) before it can be sold in India.
BIS is a third-party certification body. Products certified by it will be marked with the ISI label, which has a wide influence and a good reputation in India and its neighboring countries and is a reliable guarantee of product quality. Once a product is marked with the "ISI mark ", it means it meets the relevant standards in India, and consumers can purchase it with confidence.
In order to unify product regulatory standards and requirements and ensure product quality and safety, India began to implement the product certification system in 1955. According to The BIS Act 1986, product certification in India follows the principle of voluntary certification. However, considering factors such as public health and safety and mass consumption, the Indian government enforces mandatory certification for specific products by issuing immediate decrees. It aims to provide end consumers with quality-assured, safe and reliable products. All products subject to compulsory certification must obtain product certification certificates in accordance with Indian product standards before entering the market. Therefore, for manufacturing enterprises that want to enter the Indian market, it is necessary to have some understanding of India's product certification system.
