No BIS mark, no Indian market
India gates hundreds of product categories through the Bureau of Indian Standards: the ISI mark under product certification, CRS registration for electronics and IT goods, and FMCS for foreign manufacturers. SIS prepares the applicable Indian Standard, the factory and testing requirements and the documentation so your application reaches BIS ready to pass. Only BIS grants the licence.
- !Your product category has been notified under a Quality Control Order and can no longer be sold or imported without BIS certification.
- !Customs or a marketplace has asked for the BIS licence or CRS registration number your product does not yet have.
- !You are a foreign manufacturer needing FMCS certification and an Authorised Indian Representative to enter India.
- !An electronics or IT product needs CRS registration against the applicable Indian Standard before launch.
- !A buyer or government tender requires ISI-marked inputs - cement, steel, cables, components - from certified sources.
- !A BIS surveillance visit, market sample or complaint has put an existing licence at risk.
Support across the BIS schemes - ISI-mark product certification, Compulsory Registration (CRS) for electronics and IT goods, and FMCS for foreign manufacturers: standard applicability, factory readiness, test coordination and application preparation.
The Bureau of Indian Standards alone grants licences and registrations. SIS prepares the factory, the testing and the file so the grant is a formality, not a gamble.
Per BIS scheme - licences and registrations carry defined validity and renewal cycles, with surveillance and market sampling in between.
Indian and foreign manufacturers of notified products - electronics and IT goods, cement, steel, cables, appliances, automotive components, solar equipment and other QCO-covered categories.
Industries that require ISO 22000 Certification
BIS Registration is applicable across 8 of the 25 industries SIS covers. The pages below set out the specific reason it comes up in each one.
What BIS Registration Actually Requires
An organisation must understand the requirements for ISO 22000 certification to implement it effectively.
The exact Indian Standard and scheme (ISI / CRS / FMCS) your product falls under - the decision everything else depends on.
Manufacturing, testing equipment and in-house quality control matching what the Indian Standard and BIS scheme require of the factory.
Samples tested in BIS-recognised laboratories against the applicable standard, with reports in the required format.
The application file - factory details, test reports, quality records, agreements - prepared the way BIS processes it fastest.
Correct use of the ISI mark or CRS registration number on product, packaging and listings, with traceability behind it.
The running discipline - records, in-house testing, complaint handling - that keeps the licence alive through BIS surveillance and market sampling.

More than a certificate — a testimony that you have raised the bar and built customer confidence.
Market access, unlocked
QCO-notified products cannot be sold or imported without BIS - the registration is the difference between a market and a blockade.
Customs and marketplaces satisfied
Import clearance and e-commerce listings both check the licence number. Having it ready keeps goods moving.
A factory that passes first time
The readiness review closes the gaps BIS inspectors actually check, before they check them.
Testing done once, correctly
Right laboratory, right standard, right report format - the retest loop is where most applications lose their months.
FMCS without the fog
Foreign manufacturers get the scheme, the Authorised Indian Representative arrangement and the file handled as one job.
A licence that survives surveillance
Marking discipline, records and in-house testing keep the grant safe through every BIS visit and market sample.
