What is BIS Certification?

Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) is a quality management organization in India and it plays an important role in granting quality certification and industry standard for products sold and distributed in India. The BIS product certification system aims to guarantee the quality, stability, and reliability of products, including some chemicals.

The BIS certification scheme is basically voluntary in nature. However, for a number of products, compliance to Indian Standards is made compulsory by the Central Government under various considerations viz. public interest, protection of human, animal or plant health, safety of environment, prevention of unfair trade practices and national security. Some chemicals and petrochemicals have been included in the mandatory BIS certification list, and more chemicals and petrochemicals are expected to be listed in the future.

There are two main types of BIS certifications in India:

  • Mandatory ISI certification with factory inspection
  • Mandatory CRS registration without factory inspection
