In today’s market, where consumer safety and product reliability are top priorities, BIS Certification has become a mark of trust in India. Whether you manufacture, import, or sell products, getting certified by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) ensures your products meet the required Indian quality standards.
This blog explains everything you need to know — from what BIS Certification means to how you can apply for it, check license status, understand application fees, and why it matters for your business in 2025.
BIS Certification means that a product meets the safety, quality, and performance standards defined by the Bureau of Indian Standards, India’s national standards body.
When a product carries the ISI mark (the symbol of BIS), it tells customers that the product is safe, reliable, and tested according to Indian Standards. This certification protects consumers from substandard goods and helps businesses prove the quality of their products in a competitive market.
Simply put, BIS Certification means your product is officially approved for quality and safety by the Indian government.
The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) functions under the Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution, Government of India. The ministry’s main goal is to ensure that consumers get safe, high-quality products and that industries maintain consistent manufacturing standards.
This makes BIS a crucial regulatory authority for consumer protection and industrial development in India.
For businesses, BIS Certification is not just about compliance — it’s about credibility.
Here’s why it’s essential:
• It ensures your products meet national safety and quality benchmarks.
• It helps build consumer trust and brand reputation.
• It allows smooth entry of your products into the Indian market.
• It helps avoid penalties, rejections, or customs issues (for imports).
When customers see the BIS or ISI mark, they know the product is authentic and tested — and that’s a big advantage for any business.
For Indian manufacturers producing goods under Indian Standards.
For manufacturers outside India who export products to the Indian market.
For electronic and IT products that require registration before being sold in India.
The process of obtaining BIS Certification is systematic and transparent: Application:
✔ Submit your application on the official BIS website — www.bis.gov.in — with all required documents.
✔ Product Testing: Send product samples to a BIS-recognized laboratory for testing.
✔ Factory Audit: BIS officials may conduct a factory inspection to verify the production process and quality control system.
✔ Approval & License Grant: Once the product passes all tests, BIS issues a license allowing you to use the BIS Standard Mark (ISI Mark).
✔ Surveillance & Renewal: Regular inspections ensure continued compliance with BIS standards.
The BIS Declaration Format is a self-declaration provided by manufacturers or importers stating that their products meet the relevant Indian Standards. It includes:
➔ Product details and standard number (IS No.)
➔ Manufacturer and factory address
➔ Testing laboratory details
➔ Assurance of compliance with BIS norms
This declaration must be signed and submitted along with your application.
The BIS application fees include several components such as:
Application processing fee
Testing fee for product samples
License fee and annual renewal fee
The total cost may vary depending on the product type, testing requirements, and the certification scheme (ISI, FMCS, or CRS). You can find the latest BIS Certification fee structure on the official BIS portal — www.bis.gov.in.
If you are importing goods into India, it’s mandatory to have a BIS Certification for import. Without it, customs authorities can stop your products at the port.
Foreign manufacturers must apply under the FMCS scheme, and Indian importers should ensure their overseas suppliers have a valid BIS license. This ensures that imported goods meet the same quality and safety standards as Indian-made products.
To verify whether a product or manufacturer holds a valid BIS license, you can easily check the BIS License Status online:
► Go to www.bis.gov.in
► Click on “Verify License/Registration”
► Enter the license number or manufacturer name
► View license validity, product category, and IS standard
This helps consumers and businesses confirm whether a product truly holds a valid BIS approval.
Interestingly, in the medical field, BIS full form in medical refers to Bispectral Index, a method used to monitor a patient’s level of consciousness during anesthesia.
However, in the context of product certification and manufacturing, BIS stands for Bureau of Indian Standards, the national organization responsible for maintaining quality and safety standards in India
Obtaining BIS Certification benefits your business in multiple ways: Legal compliance: Ensures your product follows Indian laws.
🔹 Market trust: Builds a strong brand image among customers.
🔹 Export & import ease: Facilitates trade and avoids customs rejections.
🔹 Increased sales: Certified products are more likely to be chosen by buyers.
🔹 Government tenders: Many government projects require BIS-certified products.

In the medical field, BIS stands for Brain Injury Severity. It is a term used to assess the extent or seriousness of a brain injury in clinical settings. This meaning of BIS is unrelated to the Bureau of Indian Standards and is specific to healthcare and neurology.
A BIS License is generally valid for one to two years, depending on the product category and type of registration (ISI Mark or CRS scheme). After the initial validity period, the license must be renewed to continue using the BIS certification legally on your products.
You can check the BIS License status on the official BIS website by entering the license number or product details in the search section. The database will show current status, validity, and approval details of the registered product or manufacturer.
