Its predecessor was the erstwhile Indian Standards Institution (ISI). The main objective of the Bureau is to formulate and promote Indian standards, certify products for Indian and foreign manufacturers and certify management systems like QMS, Environmental Management System, Food Safety Management System and many more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Objective_of_BIS\"><\/span><strong>Objective of BIS&nbsp;<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Products and management systems certified by BIS are perceived to be safe and reliable for use by consumers. BIS certification is mostly voluntary in nature where manufacturers and service providers get registered to build a dynamic brand image in the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mandatory_Certification_by_manufacturers_under_BIS\"><\/span>Mandatory Certification by manufacturers under BIS<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For some products, it is mandatory that the manufacturers obtain the BIS registration before launching their product in the market. These products are classified under the Compulsory Registration Scheme (CRS).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Classifications_under_CRS\"><\/span><strong>Classifications under CRS:&nbsp;<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The CRS is further sub-divided into two classifications \u2013<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Scheme-I (ISI Mark Scheme)<\/strong> \u2013 about 107 products \u2013 different types of cement; circuit breakers; electric iron; electric immersion heaters; electric stoves; multi-purpose dry batteries; milk powder; infant milk substitutes; packaged drinking water etc. are covered under this Scheme. Manufacturers of such products need ISI certification before introducing their product in the market. The process of ISI registration is like that of BIS registration where product samples need to be submitted to BIS-approved labs for testing that they conform with the given standard. On approval, BIS officers inspect the factory and the manufacturing process. After submission of required documents, the application is reviewed by the regional BIS office post for which the ISI certification is done.<\/li><li><strong>Scheme-II (Registration Scheme)<\/strong> \u2013 about 50 products have been included under this scheme that are majorly electronic products, Information Technology equipment, solar photovoltaic, secondary cells, and batteries for <strong>solar photovoltaic<\/strong><sup><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nrel.gov\/research\/re-photovoltaics.html\" class=\"text-primary\"><strong>[1]<\/strong><\/a><\/sup>, etc. This scheme was introduced in 2012 by the Department of Electronics and Information Technology (DeitY) and BIS. It initially included 15 electronics. The Scheme is now regulated by the Ministry of Electronics &amp; Information Technology (MeitY) and the Bureau.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"BIS_certification_for_Foreign_manufacturers\"><\/span><strong>BIS certification for Foreign manufacturers&nbsp;<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For foreign manufacturers too, the scheme is applicable. They need to obtain the BIS registration before their products enter the Indian market. All products are required to be tested in BIS Approved Testing Labs in India before the unique registration number is allotted to the manufacturer. Labs based outside the country are not recognized for testing for this program by BIS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>Also, Read:<\/b> <mark style=\"background: #fffd03 !important;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/swaritadvisors.com\/learning\/bis-certification-for-mail-processing-machines\/\">BIS certification for mail processing machines<\/a><\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"BIS_certification_for_Electronic_clocks_with_mains_powers_and_electronic_games_Video\"><\/span>BIS certification for Electronic clocks with mains powers and electronic games (Video)&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This category includes as follow:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Product_Description\"><\/span>Product Description<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Electronic_Clocks_with_Mains_Powers\"><\/span>Electronic Clocks with Mains Powers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>All types of electronic clocks that run by using electricity and have a digital display fall under this category. All models of such clocks that need to relate to mains power or in other words, the source of electricity, mandatorily require BIS registration before being sold, distributed or exported\/imported into the Indian consumer market. All such clocks fall under the purview of IS 302-2-26:2014 that has been classified as Safety of Household and Similar Electrical Appliances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>The scope clearly mentions that the standard is meant for testing the general and safety requirements of all such digital clocks that indicate time with a rated voltage not exceeding 250 V AC single phase or dc.<\/li><li>Alarm clocks, clocks that control radio receivers and spring driven clocks where the winding mechanism is operated with electricity fall within the scope of the standard.<\/li><li>Clocks that just have electronic circuits or timers used in washing machines, cooking ranges etc. and clocks that are in-built in mains-operated electronic household items do not fall within the scope of the standard.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Electronics_Games_Video\"><\/span>Electronics Games (Video)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>An electronic game, also called a video game or computer game that uses computer circuitry to enable playing of games in an interactive manner.

The lab fee details for the above-mentioned products are as follows: &#8211;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<table class=\"wp-block-table table\"><tbody><tr><td>S. No.<\/td><td>Product Name<\/td><td>Laboratory Fees (Rs.)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>1<\/td><td>Electronic clocks with mains powers<\/td><td>30, 000\/-<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>2<\/td><td>Electronic Games (Video)<\/td><td>28, 000\/-<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>\n\n\n\n<p>b) The testing process typically takes from 15 days to a month\u2019s time to get completed. After this, the laboratory issues the Test Report. In the case of non-conformity to the prescribed standard, the lab will issue a non-conformity report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>c) This test report along with other required documents need to be submitted along with the application Form-VI (for BIS Registration) and Form-V (for ISI Registration) to the regional office of the Bureau. The required application fees need to be remitted too along with the form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>d) The next step is where BIS officials visit the factory for physical verification. The purpose is to check the manufacturing unit set-up and understand the Quality Control process of the unit. The team at this point, especially in case of <a href=\"https:\/\/swaritadvisors.com\/isi-certification\" class=\"text-primary\"><strong>ISI registration<\/strong><\/a>, picks up random samples that would get tested in one of the BIS recognised labs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>e) In the final step, all the documents submitted, the physical verification report of the factory and the test reports are scrutinized thoroughly before the formal certificate is issued. Once the approval is received the Government fee needs to be deposited to receive the certificate. <a class=\"text-primary\" href=\"https:\/\/swaritadvisors.com\/bis-certification\"><strong>BIS certification<\/strong><\/a><strong> <\/strong>costs for the two products being discussed here is as follows: &#8211; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<table class=\"wp-block-table table\"><tbody><tr><td>S.

ISI Mark registration fees and the BIS Certification costs differ from product to product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>f) In case of non-conformity, the process or the product needs to be rectified and the rectification report needs to be submitted along with the Government fees or the annual marking fees (in case of ISI Certification).
