The\nindustry\/manufacturer has to make an application to the concerned Department.\nFor every product, a separate application has to be made for this form of a label.<\/li><li><strong>Prescribed\nForm fees<\/strong>: the application has to be made in the prescribed form with the\nfee payment of R.s 500\/-<\/li><li><strong>Separate\nParts<\/strong>: if there are individual parts for the application, then all the\napplication features need to be divided &amp; applied individually.<\/li><li><strong>Inspection\nof Industry Premises<\/strong>: When the BIS receives the application, it will verify\nthe industry premises. During this verification procedure, we would consider\nthe assessment of the industry premises.<\/li><li><strong>&nbsp;Testing of the Products<\/strong>: One of the main\nreasons to conduct an inspection is to check the different forms of facilities\nand procedures in the industry. If proper methods are utilised in the\nmanufacturing procedure, then the BIS would approve the same. This step is\ncrucial to carry out quality control on the products manufactured in the\nindustry. Would also provide Samples related to testing to a separate\nlaboratory. Would usually send Such samples to a laboratory which is NABL\naccredited.<\/li><li><strong>License\nGranted<\/strong>: After this, would grant the license for Ecomark. However, the\nfollowing criteria have to be convinced by the applicant to secure the Ecomark\napproval:<\/li><li>The applicant must have all the necessary\ntesting facilities readily available.<\/li><li>All the standards required for testing need to\nconfirm with Indian standards.<\/li><li>There must be an acceptance respecting the\nmethods required for carrying out testing.<\/li><li><strong>Post\nInspections<\/strong>: At the BIS&#8217;s discretion, surprise inspections can be carried\nout by the BIS to ensure that standards related to products, compliance with\nsampling and other testing essentials are met. During this surprise testing\nprocess, samples may be taken from the production line to check if compliance\nis maintained. If this is not done, the bureau may purchase products directly\nfrom the market to check if the observation is carried out with the\nrequirements related to eco mark.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Benefits_of_ECOMARK_Logo\"><\/span>Benefits of ECOMARK Logo <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>An industry with this form of <a href=\"https:\/\/swaritadvisors.com\/bis-certification\" class=\"text-primary\"><strong>BIS certification<\/strong><\/a> can maintain specific standards related to compliance.<\/li><li>Can promote sustainable development and efficiency at all levels by securing this form of certification.<\/li><li>By appending the product label, consumers would be aware that the manufacturer is utilising standards to maintain eco-friendly environments.
