BIS Certification Service in India — Expert Consultancy by Star QMS

Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) certification is a mandatory requirement for hundreds of product categories sold in India. Whether you are a domestic manufacturer, an importer, or a foreign brand looking to enter the Indian market. BIS Certification Service is a legal necessity — and Star QMS is here to make that journey seamless, fast, and hassle-free.

With years of hands-on experience and a dedicated team of compliance experts, Star QMS India is one of the most trusted BIS certification consultants operating from Noida, Delhi NCR, serving clients across India and internationally.


What is BIS Certification?

The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) is India’s national standards body, operating under the Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution. BIS certifies products against Indian Standards (IS) to ensure they are safe, reliable, and of acceptable quality for consumers.

Products sold in India under a Quality Control Order (QCO) or listed under mandatory certification categories cannot be manufactured, imported, or sold without a valid BIS licence or registration.

BIS certification Services is not just about legal compliance — it is a mark of credibility that helps your products gain consumer trust and market access across India.


BIS Certification Schemes We Handle

Star QMS provides end-to-end consultancy across all major BIS certification schemes:

1. ISI Mark Certification — Domestic Manufacturers

The ISI Mark is one of the most recognised quality marks in India. Under the Product Certification Scheme (PCS), domestic manufacturers of products covered under mandatory Indian Standards must obtain an ISI licence before they can legally sell in India.

We assist Indian manufacturers with complete ISI Mark certification support — from gap analysis and documentation to factory audits and licence issuance.

Applicable to: Steel, cement, electrical appliances, LPG cylinders, helmets, packaged water, cables, toys, and hundreds more product categories.


2. ISI Mark Certification — Foreign Manufacturers (FMCS)

Foreign manufacturers who wish to export their products to India under mandatory categories must apply under BIS’s Foreign Manufacturers Certification Scheme (FMCS). This scheme allows overseas brands to obtain a BIS licence valid for the Indian market.

Star QMS has successfully guided manufacturers from China, Vietnam, Thailand, South Korea, Taiwan, and other countries through the FMCS process, including factory visit coordination and Authorised Indian Representative (AIR) management.

Key Steps We Handle:

  • Pre-audit documentation preparation
  • Coordinating BIS factory inspection at your overseas facility
  • Liaison with BIS Delhi and regional offices
  • Complete follow-up till licence grant

3. BIS-CRS Registration — Electronic & IT Products

The Compulsory Registration Scheme (CRS) mandates that electronic and IT products sold in India must be registered with BIS before import or sale. This scheme covers products such as laptops, mobiles, tablets, LED lights, power banks, smart TVs, set-top boxes, and a growing list of electronics.

Unlike ISI Mark (which involves factory audits), registration via CRS Certification Service is based on product testing at BIS-recognized labs, making it faster and simpler for importers and manufacturers alike.

Star QMS offers dedicated CRS registration support including:

  • Identifying applicable IS standard for your product
  • Lab coordination and sample testing facilitation
  • Application filing through the BIS portal
  • Follow-up with BIS till registration certificate is issued

Registration is valid for 2 years and must be renewed before expiry.
