This process plays a crucial role in ensuring the safety and quality of products available in the Indian market. If you require assistance with BIS certification, Absolute Veritas is a trusted consultancy that offers tailored services to meet your certification needs.

BIS ISI MARK CERTIFICATION

2. Factory Inspection:A comprehensive evaluation of your manufacturing infrastructure, production processes, quality control, and testing capabilities is undertaken.

3. Product Testing: During the inspection, a product sample is taken for testing in a third-party laboratory.

4. Review:

   The test report from the product sample undergoes review.

5. Certificate Issuance:Upon meeting the required standards, you will be issued the ISI certificate.

FMCS (FOREIGN Manufacturer CERTIFICATION SCHEME)

FMCS certification is essential for international manufacturers to align with Indian Standards when marketing specific products within India. The process includes offline documentation and coordination with BIS officials, which can be intricate, especially for newcomers to the certification process.

2. On Site Activities:This involves traveling to the client's country, collecting samples, and transporting the sample product to India.

These certifications guarantee that products adhere to rigorous quality and safety standards, benefiting both consumers and businesses alike.

Compulsory Registration Scheme (CRS)

Under the Compulsory Registration Scheme (CRS), all electronic products, whether imported or manufactured in India, must comply with BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards) standards. To obtain BIS registration, products undergo sample examination, analysis, and document verification. The Department of Electronics and Information Technology in India mandates this certification for electronic items such as audio and video equipment, IT devices, mobile phones, smart card readers, and similar gadgets. Hence, foreign manufacturers of these products must secure a BIS license to export them to India.

Failure by foreign manufacturers to obtain the necessary BIS license before selling these products in the Indian market can result in penalties under the BIS Act. This ensures that electronic products sold in India adhere to stringent safety and quality standards.

Process to Obtain CRS Certification

1. Create Manufacturer Profile: First, you'll need to set up a profile for your manufacturing company on the BIS portal

2. Generate Test Report Format: A Test Report Format (TRF) will be created for your product by a BIS-accredited laboratory.

3. Submit Test Report: Once the TRF is ready, the laboratory will submit the report on the BIS portal under your company's profile.

4. Appoint an Authorized Indian Representative (AIR): If you're a foreign applicant, you'll need to appoint an Authorized Indian Representative (AIR). You'll also need to submit an affidavit and undertaking as per Form A/B.

5. Indian Applicant Requirements: Indian applicants should submit an affidavit and undertaking as per Format C.

6. Online Form Submission:Fill out the online form, attach the necessary documents, and pay the required fee.

7. Certificate Grant:Your CRS certificate will be issued based on test results, without the need for a factory visit. If your product meets the BIS (CRS) requirements, you'll receive the certificate. This process ensures that electronic products in India meet safety and quality standards.
