If you are manufacturing, importing, or selling regulated products in Chennai, BIS certification is no longer optional. With tighter enforcement and digital monitoring in 2026, businesses without proper certification are facing shipment delays, marketplace blocks, and legal notices.
Whether you run a factory in Sriperumbudur, an electronics unit in Ambattur, or import goods through Chennai Port, this guide will explain what BIS certification is, how to apply, what documents are required, the advantages, and the real BIS certification cost-in a simple, practical way.
The BIS full form is Bureau of Indian Standards.Many people also search for “full form BIS”, both mean the same thing.
BIS is India’s national authority that:
In simple terms, BIS ensures that products sold in India are safe, reliable, and compliant with Indian laws.
Selling a product that requires BIS approval without certification can result in:
Chennai is one of India’s strongest hubs for:
➤ Electronics manufacturing
➤ Auto components
➤ Electrical equipment
➤ Industrial goods
➤ Imports via Chennai Port
Because of this, BIS authorities actively monitor compliance across Tamil Nadu.
✔ Manufacture regulated products in India✔ Import goods from China, Europe, or other countries✔ Sell on Amazon, Flipkart, or B2B platforms✔ Supply to OEMs or government tenders✔ Want long-term brand credibility
Getting BIS certification is not just about compliance—it also improves your business position.
• Legal Compliance: Avoid penalties, seizures, and business disruption• Market Access: Mandatory for selling on online marketplaces and government portals• Customer Trust: The ISI or CRS mark builds credibility with buyers• Import Clearance: Faster customs clearance at Chennai Port• Competitive Edge: Certified products are preferred by distributors and OEMs• Long-Term Stability: Reduces future legal and regulatory risks
Depending on your business model, you may need one of these:
For products manufactured in India that fall under compulsory certification.
For electronics and IT products such as:
For companies located outside India exporting products into the Indian market.
If you import through Chennai Port, CRS or FMCS is usually required.
Here is the simplified and practical process:
We first determine which BIS standard applies to your product category.
Your product sample is tested in a government-approved laboratory to verify compliance.
The application is submitted using the official BIS login portal with test reports and documents.
For manufacturing licenses, BIS may inspect your production facility.
Once approved, you are authorized to use the ISI mark or CRS registration number on your product.
The documentation depends on whether you are a manufacturer or importer, but commonly required documents include:
→ Business registration certificate (GST, CIN, MSME, etc.)
→ Factory address proof
→ Manufacturing process flow chart
→ Quality control plan
→ Product test report from BIS-recognized lab
→ Authorization letter
→ Trademark certificate (if applicable)
→ Import Export Code (IEC)
→ Authorization from foreign manufacturer
→ Product specifications
→ Test report
→ Brand authorization
→ Applicant ID and company documents
BIS login is the official online portal where:
‣ Applications are submitted
‣ Test reports are uploaded
‣ Queries are answered
‣ License status is tracked
‣ Renewals are processed
While the portal is public, many businesses struggle with:
‣ Technical terminology
‣ Document structuring
‣ Compliance classifications
This is why most companies in Chennai prefer working with professional consultants to avoid rejections.
A common question is about BIS certification cost. There is no fixed price—it depends on your product, testing needs, and certification type.
Typical Cost Breakdown:
In early 2025, an electronics importer based in Guindy, Chennai brought in LED lighting products from China. The shipment arrived at Chennai Port, but customs clearance was stopped because the products did not have valid BIS certification under the required BIS standard.
The business owner did not know that LED products fall under the Compulsory Registration Scheme (CRS).
As a result:
The importer approached PSR Compliance.
What We Did:
▪ Identified the correct BIS standard
▪ Arranged testing at a BIS-recognized lab
▪ Filed the application through the BIS login portal
▪ Handled technical queries from the BIS authority
The Result:
✔ BIS registration was granted within weeks✔ The goods were released from customs✔ The company avoided losses worth lakhs✔ The business now complies for every new product
