Expanding into the Indian market requires Italian businesses to comply with the standards of the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). A BIS certification consultancy in Italy helps companies navigate this requirement by managing the entire BIS registration process, from documentation to product testing and final approval. This is particularly important for sectors such as electronics, where BIS certification for electronic products under the CRS BIS scheme is mandatory.
With expert guidance, manufacturers can better understand the BIS certification cost, the timeline, and the specific requirements tied to their products. Beyond electronics, consultancy support also covers areas like the BIS Product certification and FMCS BIS licensing for foreign manufacturers. By working with trusted BIS certification consultants, Italian exporters can secure the official Bureau of Indian Standards certificate, display the Bureau of Indian Standards mark, and enter the Indian market with confidence.
BIS certification is an approval issued by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS), the national body responsible for quality, safety, and reliability of products in India. It is a mandatory requirement for many goods, especially under the BIS certification for electronic products category, where manufacturers must obtain a Bureau of Indian Standards license through the CRS BIS (Compulsory Registration Scheme) . The process involves testing, documentation, and BIS certificate registration to ensure products meet Indian standards before entering the market. For exporters, securing the Bureau of Indian Standards mark builds consumer trust and ensures compliance with Indian regulations. While the BIS certification process may seem complex, working with a professional BIS registration consultant helps businesses understand requirements, manage timelines, and optimize the BIS certification cost, making market entry smoother and more efficient.
Manufacturers must obtain this certification to:
Ensure legal compliance with the Bureau of Indian Standards registration requirements for products sold in India.
Display the Bureau of Indian Standards mark, proving that goods meet Indian quality and safety benchmarks.
Enter the Indian market smoothly by completing the mandatory BIS registration or BIS certificate registration process.
Build consumer trust by showing products are certified under schemes such as CRS BIS for electronics or FMCS BIS for foreign manufacturers.
Avoid penalties and market restrictions linked to non-compliance with the BIS certification process.
Enhance competitiveness by keeping BIS certification cost transparent and turning compliance into a market advantage.
Obtain specific approvals, such as the BIS hallmark certificate for precious metals or Bureau of Indian Standards license for specialized goods.
There are five major Conformity Assessments of BIS certification schemes:
Product Certification:It ensures that goods meet prescribed Indian Standards for quality, safety, and reliability before being sold in the market.
Compulsory Registration Scheme (CRS): It mandates manufacturers of specified electronic and IT products to register and certify compliance with Indian safety standards before sale.
Foreign Manufacturers Certification Scheme (FMCS): It allows overseas manufacturers to use the BIS Standard Mark on their products by ensuring compliance with Indian Standards.
Scheme-X Certification: It enables certification of products that are manufactured at multiple locations or involve special conditions not covered under regular schemes.
