In India, the BIS issues BIS Certification to provide customers with a third-party guarantee of goods' safety, quality, and reliability. The Government of our country has made it compulsory to consider public health for specific products. The purposes of BIS Certification are to increase the customer's confidence and trust in the products, provide quality assurance, safeguard customers from hazardous products and protect public health.

The manufacturers of electronic products listed under the Compulsory Registration Scheme (CRS) obtain the BIS Certification. The Compulsory Registration Scheme (CRS) was notified by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) in 2012. The Ministry also passed an order in 2012 that a person cannot manufacture, distribute or store goods for sale or import that do not conform to the Indian Standard as specified in the order and bear a standard mark with a BIS unique registration number.

BIS Compulsory Registration Scheme

More than 30 years ago, the Bureau of Indian Standards developed the BIS certification process. However, before the Compulsory Registration Scheme (CRS Scheme) in 2013, spearheaded by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), the procedure needed to be properly standardized. The Compulsory Registration Scheme is developed for Electronics and IT Products manufacturers. As per this scheme the manufacturers of electronics & IT products must obtain a BIS Registration license from the Bureau of Indian Standards. BIS has supervised certification processes and issued nearly all standards. Although standardization is still ongoing and far from complete, it has remained relatively stable since 2013.

BIS Registration Process under Compulsory Registration Scheme (CRS Scheme)

The process of BIS Registration under Compulsory Registration Scheme involves the following steps mentioned below:

Step 1: You need to submit a sample of the product to BIS recognized testing lab to get the product tested along with the required laboratory fees. Fees can vary according to the product under consideration.
Step 2: The testing process typically takes 10-15 days to get completed. After a thorough examination of the product, the laboratory issues the Test Report.
Step 3: The test report along with the application application & documents need to be submitted to the BIS portal. you will be contacted by a member of staff of BIS via email if there are any queries.
Step 4: After scrutiny of the application form, documents and test report, BIS grants the license.

BIS Hallmarking Registration Scheme

The Bureau of Indian Standards is also responsible for setting and promoting standards including gold and other precious metals. If you are a manufacturer or seller of gold or other precious metal products in India, you may be required to have your products registered with BIS. This process involves obtaining a hallmarking license from BIS and complying with the relevant Indian standards for the product in question. To register your products with BIS, you will need to submit an application along with the necessary documents and fees.

BIS Hallmarking Registration Process

The process of Hallmark registration involves the following steps:

Step 1: Documentation before submission of application.
Step 2: Generation of online portal on BIS website.
Step 3: Submission of application, documents and fees through BIS Manak online portal.
Step 4: Scrutiny of application and documents by BIS officials.
Step 5: Grant of BIS hallmarking license.

Surveillance Process

Following the inspection process, the factory undergoes a full survey, referred to as the surveillance process. The measures involved in the surveillance process are as follows:

The factory will be visited by the inspecting authority, who will testify.
The samples were taken after the testing.
The samples will be sent to independent laboratories for analysis.
The test report will include an overview of the allegation or input on the investigation.
The performance evaluation report will be completed.
License is issued after the report has been checked.

Objectives of BIS

Continual & harmonies development of standardisation, quality certification, & marking
Seamless development of a national strategy for standards recognition and syncing them with the development of products as well as exports
To ensure a new thrust to quality control and standardisation.

Quality Control Orders

BIS is a National Standards Body in India, involved with Conformity Assessment, Standardisation, and Quality Assurance of goods, services, processes and systems. The Indian Standards established by BIS underpin the basis for the Product Certification Schemes, which facilitates Third Party Assurance of product safety, quality, and reliability to consumers.

BIS certification scheme is essentially voluntary in nature. But, for certain products, compliance to Indian standards is made mandatorily by the Indian Government under several considerations, namely, public interest, the safety of humans, animals or plants, environmental protection, prevention of unfair trade practices and national security. For these products, the Indian Government mandates using Standard Mark under Certificate of Conformity (CoC) or License from BIS via issuing QCOs.

The Central Government of India, with the consultation of BIS, has published QCOs in the exercise of the powers conferred under Sections 16, 17 and 25 of the BIS Act, 2016, thereby making the products mandatory for BIS Certification.

Benefits of Securing BIS Certification
