Frequently asked questions
Which products need BIS certification?
Products notified under quality control orders or the Compulsory Registration Scheme — such as many electronics, IT goods, toys, steel and chemicals — cannot be sold or imported without it.
What is the difference between CRS and the ISI mark?
CRS registration is based on product testing and a self-declaration; the ISI mark licence also involves a factory inspection and ongoing surveillance.
Can foreign manufacturers get BIS certification?
Yes, through an Authorised Indian Representative, under the same scheme.
How long does BIS registration take?
Usually one to two months including lab testing for CRS, and longer for an ISI mark licence.
