What is BIS ISI Mark Certification?

BIS ISI Mark Certification
Factory Quality Audit & Scheme-I Licensing BIS Scheme-I Mandate

The ISI Mark is India's most recognized conformity mark for industrial, electrical, chemical, construction, and consumer goods. Regulated under the Bureau of Indian Standards Act (Scheme-I), it guarantees that a product complies with rigorous Indian Quality Standards (IS Specifications).

The Government of India has issued Quality Control Orders (QCOs) making ISI mark mandatory for hundreds of critical product categories. Operating or selling without an ISI license on notified items attracts strict legal penalties and confiscation of consignments at customs.

Domestic Manufacturers

Applicable for production units in India under standard Scheme-I procedure, comprising in-house testing equipment audit, factory verification, on-site sample drawing, and testing in BIS-recognized NABL laboratories prior to CM/L license grant.

Factory Verification Lab Test Clearance
FMCS (Foreign Manufacturers)

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions (ISI Certification)

BIS CRS (Scheme-II) is a testing-only registration scheme primarily for electronics/IT where no factory audit is required prior to license grant. In contrast, ISI Mark (Scheme-I) requires mandatory physical factory inspection, an in-house testing lab setup, and witnessing of sample tests by BIS officials.

The initial ISI license is granted for 1 or 2 years. Subsequently, it can be renewed for up to 5 years based on production compliance, marking fee submission, and satisfactory performance.
