BIS Certification — BIS Act 2016, Three Schemes: ISI Mark, CRS, FMCS
Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) Act 2016 ke under India mein product certification teen main schemes mein hoti hai — aur correctly identify karna critical hai:
(1) ISI Mark (Product Certification Scheme): Domestic manufacturers ke liye — BIS-listed mandatory products ke liye factory audit + BIS-accepted lab testing required. ISI Mark mandatory products mein: LPG cylinders (IS 3196), motorcycle helmets (IS 4151), safety helmets (IS 2925), electrical wires/cables, PVC pipes, Portland cement (IS 269), TMT steel bars (IS 1786), packaged drinking water (IS 14543), lead acid batteries, infant milk substitutes. License period: 1-2 years, renewable. Ongoing: surveillance audits.
(2) CRS (Compulsory Registration Scheme): Electronics aur IT products ke liye — BIS-recognized lab testing first (no factory audit for most), then online registration. Mandatory products: mobile phones, laptops, tablets, power banks, chargers, LED bulbs, set-top boxes, smart meters, printers, ceiling fans, etc. Registration portal: manakonline.in.
(3) FMCS (Foreign Manufacturer Certification Scheme): Foreign manufacturers ke liye ISI mark — Indian authorized representative required, physical factory audit abroad by BIS. Complex, time-consuming process.
ISI Mark vs CRS — Kaun Sa Aapke Product Ke Liye?
ISI Mark aur CRS dono BIS certification schemes hain lekin alag products ke liye. Correct scheme identify karna critical hai — wrong scheme mein apply karne se rejection aur wasted time:
ISI Mark — Manufacturing Products (Factory Audit Required)
Mandatory ISI mark products: LPG gas cylinders, helmets (bike/safety), electrical cables/wires, PVC plumbing pipes, cement, TMT steel bars, packaged drinking water, lead acid batteries, infant milk substitutes. Process: BIS-accepted lab testing + factory audit by BIS officer. Timeline: 3-6 months. Annual surveillance audits post-certification.
CRS — Electronics & IT Products (Lab Test Only, Fast)
Mandatory CRS products: mobile phones, laptops, tablets, power banks, mobile chargers, LED drivers/bulbs, set-top boxes, smart electricity meters, televisions, printers, WiFi routers, ceiling fans (with BIS), etc. Process: BIS-recognized lab test first, then manakonline.in portal registration. Timeline: 2-4 weeks (lab test time + portal). No factory audit typically.
ISI Mark Voluntary Products — Competitive Advantage
Many products have IS (Indian Standard) but are not mandatory — ISI mark is voluntary. Taking ISI mark on non-mandatory product gives market differentiation. Government procurement, bulk buyers, brand trust — ISI mark helps even when not legally required.
FMCS — Foreign Manufacturers Importing to India
Foreign company India mein ISI mark se product import karna chahti hai — FMCS scheme. Requirements: India-authorized representative/liaison office, physical overseas factory audit by BIS, lab testing in BIS-accepted labs. Timeline: 6-12 months. Complex but necessary for large import volumes. Hamare consultants FMCS requirements guide karte hain.
BIS Hallmark (Jewellery) — Alag Scheme Hai
Gold jewellery hallmarking BIS Act ke under hai lekin ISI Mark ya CRS se completely different scheme hai — jewellers Hallmark Registration topic mein covered hai. ISI/CRS manufacturing products ke liye hai, Hallmark jewellery ke liye.
Selling Without Mandatory BIS Mark — Serious Violation
BIS Act 2016 Section 17: Mandatory BIS list mein product sell karna bina certification ke — fine upto ₹2 lakh + imprisonment upto 2 years. Misuse of BIS mark: fine upto ₹5 lakh + imprisonment. BIS officers market surveillance, e-commerce platforms aur import consignments check karte hain.

CRS Electronics Registration — Specific Process
CRS (Compulsory Registration Scheme) electronics/IT products ke liye faster process hai — factory audit typically nahi hota:

Step 3 — Application Review aur Registration
BIS application review karta hai — test report valid aur complete honi chahiye. CRS Registration Certificate typically 2-4 weeks mein issue hoti hai. Certificate mein R-number (CRS registration number) hota hai jo product par mark karna mandatory hai.
Step 4 — Product Marking aur Market Surveillance
CRS R-number aur BIS logo product/packaging par mandatory hai. BIS market surveillance team products check karta hai — online aur offline. Non-compliant products seized ho sakte hain.
