What is BIS ISI Certification for Domestic Manufacturers?

BIS ISI Certification Domestic
Factory Quality Control & CM/L Number Allotment Bureau of Indian Standards

Under the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) Act, 2016 and Scheme-I (Product Certification Scheme), Indian domestic manufacturers producing goods notified under mandatory Quality Control Orders (QCOs) must acquire an ISI Mark license (Certification Mark License / CM/L) before manufacturing or selling products in the Indian market.

The ISI mark certifies that the domestic production facility possesses proper manufacturing machinery, calibrated quality control laboratory testing equipment, qualified quality personnel, and follows the prescribed Scheme of Inspection and Testing (SIT).

In-House Laboratory Mandate

Domestic plants must install all testing equipment specified in the relevant Indian Standard (IS) on premises for raw materials and finished batch testing.

Factory Audit & Sample Draw

BIS officers inspect the factory, verify manufacturing process flow, witness testing in the in-house lab, and draw independent samples for BIS third-party lab testing.

Technical FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

BIS CRS (Scheme-II) applies to electronics and IT products based primarily on lab test reports without mandatory factory audits. BIS ISI Mark (Scheme-I) requires full in-house testing lab establishment, physical factory audit by BIS officers, witness testing, and continuous surveillance.

Under normal processing with Lockene, the entire process takes around 30 to 45 days. Under the Simplified Scheme (where sample testing is conducted in advance in a BIS approved lab), the license can be granted in as little as 30 days.
