The BIS ISI certification is a statutory requirement for specified products manufactured within India, affirming compliance with Indian Standards set by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS).

It serves as a mark of assured quality, safety, and regulatory conformity positioning domestic manufacturers to meet both consumer expectations and legal obligations.

To obtain the ISI Mark, manufacturers must undergo a rigorous conformity assessment process, including factory evaluation, product testing at BIS-approved labs, and documentation scrutiny.

BIS certification strengthens a manufacturer’s market credibility, facilitates access to organized retail and institutional buyers, and is often a prerequisite for government procurement.

With structured guidance available at every stage from standard selection to post-license surveillance, the certification process ensures long-term compliance and brand integrity in the domestic market.

Domestic manufacturers must submit legal documents (e.g., business licenses, factory registration, GST, Electrical bill, MSME,if applicable ) and technical documents (e.g., product specifications, in-house test reports) as per the relevant Indian Standard, through oneline filling on manak online portal.

After reviewing the Submitted documents, BIS conducts a factory inspection to assess production capability and Quality control competency and Products meet the requirements as per applicable Indian standard.

Upon successful review of documents, audit, and test results, and after fee payment, BIS issues the license to use the ISI Mark. Ongoing compliance is maintained through surveillance audits and periodic testing.

BIS certification involves various categories of fees, including application charges, license fees, audit and inspection costs, product testing expenses, marking fees, and professional consultancy charges.

The BIS give relaxation on marking fee to MSME premises as per Udhyam ragistration upto 80 % of the total marking fee.

The standard duration for obtaining BIS certification ranges from 30 days to 90 days after submission of application. However, the actual timeline may vary depending on case-specific factors such as documentation accuracy, audit scheduling, and lab testing timelines, option selected during the time of application as final processing lies within BIS administrative control.

. BIS certification is mandatory for domestic manufacturers producing items that directly impact public health, safety, hygiene, or national development. This includes products that may pose hazards or are essential to critical infrastructure and public welfare.

Quality Control Orders (QCOs) issued by concerned ministries ensure that domestically manufactured products meet minimum quality and safety standards. These orders aim to eliminate substandard goods from the market, protecting consumers and promoting quality manufacturing practices.

Commonly covered categories for domestic certification include electrical goods, cement, steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and alloy based products materials crucial to public safety, construction integrity, and industrial reliability.

We assist domestic manufacturers in creating and configuring their profile on the MANAK Online portal, including the upload of all required legal documents. Our support extends to generating test requests, coordinating with BIS-recognized laboratories, and submitting the complete application as per BIS protocol.

Throughout the review process, we address all clarifications or queries raised by BIS, ensuring quick and accurate responses. With deep knowledge of product standards and regulatory requirements, we help manufacturers align their factory setup, documentation, and processes in accordance with BIS expectations—paving the way for a successful inspection.

During the BIS audit, our team is present on-site to support the manufacturer and accompany the auditor throughout the inspection. We assist in the structured presentation of the facility and records, and provide immediate responses to technical or procedural queries raised by BIS officials.

We also advise the manufacturer’s quality control team on testing procedures and help identify the appropriate equipment required to meet standard-specific testing parameters. This ensures technical readiness and avoids unnecessary delays in sample clearance.

Post audit, we maintain close coordination with the BIS Certification Officer for timely license approval. We actively monitor the application status on MANAK Online, assist with any pending actions, and continue to support the manufacturer with marking requirements, post-approval compliance, and surveillance obligations.

After the license is granted, the BIS logo, license number, and IS code must be correctly marked on every certified product as per BIS guidelines.

Manufacturers are required to carry out regular in-house testing as per the approved Scheme of Inspection and Testing (SIT) and maintain records for surveillance and timely renewal.

Consignment details must be submitted on the Manak Online portal for each quarter, ensuring proper compliance and traceability.

Once appointed, we manage the entire BIS certification process on the Manak Online portal from initial application to grant of license.

We provide complete guidance through every stage, including product testing, factory inspection, and approvals, with smooth coordination and timely execution.

Even after the license is granted, we continue to support with SIT compliance, correct marking, quarterly Manak Online filings, and renewal reminders.
