How to Comply
Covered products are certified under the Product Certification Scheme (Scheme-I, ISI mark). These are the standard steps.
- 1
Confirm the standard and product scope
Check the Indian Standard that applies, the product variants and grades you make, and whether a Quality Control Order makes certification mandatory.
- 2
Apply on BIS Manakonline
Submit the licence application with factory, manufacturing and quality-control details and pay the application fee. Foreign manufacturers apply under the Foreign Manufacturers Certification Scheme (FMCS) and appoint an Authorised Indian Representative.
- 3
Factory inspection and sample testing
A BIS officer inspects the factory, checks the manufacturing and in-house testing set-up, and draws samples for testing against the Indian Standard in a BIS or BIS-recognised laboratory.
- 4
Licence grant
Once the samples pass and the inspection is satisfactory, BIS grants the licence, and the product can carry the ISI mark with the licence number.
- 5
Surveillance and renewal
BIS keeps checking marked products through surveillance inspections and market samples, and the licence must be renewed before it expires.
Penalty for Non-Compliance
Fine of at least ₹2 lakh, or imprisonment of up to 2 years
Violations of mandatory Quality Control Orders are punishable under Section 29 of the BIS Act, 2016 with imprisonment up to two years, fines up to ₹5,00,000 (or up to 10 times the value of goods), and confiscation of non-compliant inventory.
