On the\nother hand, those products which are certified by BIS leaves no complain as\nsuch products assure to deliver the high quality performance and the consumers\ncan rely upon it easily. This is therefore, perhaps one of the most significant\nhighlighting advantages of BIS registration in India. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Testing_in_Labs_for_quality_inspection\"><\/span>Testing in Labs for quality\ninspection <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Since, BIS works to supervise the standardization of the quality of a product, it has established labs in different parts of the country. These labs are built to test the quality of the products. The investigating officer performs an on-site inspection of the registration facilities and randomly picks up few samples and send them to the lab for testing. Once it is certified, the product shall be sent back along with the test report. It is much imperative to do this process for maintaining the quality of the product, even though the process is tedious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ensures_uncompromised_quality_standards\"><\/span>Ensures uncompromised quality\nstandards <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>BIS ensured the\nimplementation of quality compliances for all the manufacturers. It is\nimportant for the entities under the BIS registration to follow proper standard\nfor manufacturing goods. A BIS investigating officer investigate and scrutinize\nthe premise where the production is usually carried out, through surprise\nvisits. BIS continuously monitors the production facilities to confirm the\nproduct quality and given compliances. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Minimizing_and_reducing_environmental_risk\"><\/span>Minimizing and reducing\nenvironmental risk<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of the\nproducts certified by BIS are potentially dangerous to environment. Electronic\nitems in particular cause severe environmental risk and health hazard. Several\nmeasures have been taken by BIS by implementing a definitive protocol for\nproducing such items so as to prevent environmental risk. It has also\nprohibited the use of certain materials and chemicals under its prescribed\nrules and norms. Therefore, BIS plays a very important role in standardizing the\nquality of the product which should be safe and minimize environmental risks as\nwell. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cons_of_BIS_Registration\"><\/span>Cons of BIS Registration  <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/swaritadvisors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Cons.png\" alt=\"Cons of BIS Registration\" class=\"wp-image-1266\" width=\"414\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/swaritadvisors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Cons.png 693w, https:\/\/swaritadvisors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Cons-233x300.png 233w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 414px) 100vw, 414px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Limited_applicability_scope\"><\/span>Limited applicability scope<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>BIS certified products fail to get recognition at the international level. BIS still does not have the global dominance, unlike global standards and certifications. It has not received global accreditation unlike IEC and CE to be used as a benchmark of quality compliance. Therefore, a lot of input has to be made in the area of production and quality adopting aggressive and quality oriented strategies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Costlier_compliance_management\"><\/span>Costlier compliance management<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>For small firms\nit is difficult to maintain the quality of the products and under extreme\neconomic pressure, it might become difficult for the firms to consistently\nproduce quality products or maintain the compliance integrity. BIS registration\nis a bit costlier as compared to the other certifications. Even the renewal is\ncostlier which might bother some small firms greatly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Low_Export\"><\/span>Low Export<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>BIS is an authority which works to assure the quality standard products and services in India.
