In order to unify product supervision standards and requirements and ensure product quality and safety, India began to implement a product certification system in 1955. All products listed in compulsory certification must obtain product certification according to Indian product standards before they can enter the market. Therefore, it is necessary for manufacturers who want to enter the Indian market to understand the product certification system in India.
India Product Certification Organization According to the Indian Bureau of Standards Act 1986, the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) is specifically responsible for product certification. It is also the only product certification body in India. There are 5 regional bureaus and 19 branch bureaus under BIS. The regional bureau supervises the corresponding branch. Eight laboratories and some independent laboratories belonging to BIS are responsible for the inspection of samples taken during the product certification process. These laboratories are implemented in accordance with ISO/IEC17025:1999.
India product certification has a history of 50 years since the predecessor of BIS, the Indian Standards Institute, started product certification in 1955. At present, BIS has issued more than 30,000 product certification certificates, covering almost every industrial field such as agricultural products, textiles, and electronics.

In addition to the special application form, the following documents need to be submitted: 1. Factory location and factory distribution map; 2. Proof of production plant; 3. List of existing production equipment and inspection equipment; 4. Testing and inspection currently in use or proposed to be used Scheme, together with a letter of commitment to comply with the BIS-approved testing and inspection scheme after the certificate is granted; 5. Letter of commitment to pay the prescribed marking fee from the date of award of the certificate; Letter of commitment to discontinue the use of the mark; 7. Flow chart describing the production and inspection steps; 8. Details of existing technicians.
(2) Records. After a detailed review, if the application procedures are complete, BIS will record the application and assign an application number to the applicant, thus the application is established.
(3) Initial inspection. To determine whether a product complies with Indian standards through an assessment of the company's production capacity and control level, quality control techniques, existing equipment, staff skills, and sample testing.
(4) Issuing certificates. If the initial inspection and sample test results meet the conditions, a certificate will be issued to the applicant. The certificate is valid for 2 years. If the execution certificate is correct, it can be extended for two years upon application. If the licensee wants to expand the product range covered by the same standard of the certificate, after routine testing, those who meet the conditions can change it. If the validity period of the certificate expires, the certificate can be renewed according to the implementation status within the validity period of the certificate.
(5) Post-certification supervision. After the certificate is granted, if the licensee has fully fulfilled the test and inspection plan, the product is consistent with the Indian standard, and the sample test record is kept intact, the product can be stamped with a logo upon authorization. Applicants are required to pay a certain marking fee.
BIS will conduct regular supervision and inspection on the implementation of the certificate by the licensee. This kind of supervision and inspection mainly depends on whether the test and inspection plan is fully implemented, and whether the quality control system is strictly implemented in accordance with technical standards. Simultaneously test production samples, and send the drawn samples to BIS or an independent laboratory for inspection.
The results of regular inspections and product testing will be communicated to the licensee in an appropriate manner. If non-conformity continues to occur, the use of the logo on the product will be suspended; if the regular inspection and product testing do not meet the requirements, especially the Indian standard, BIS will decide to suspend the use or directly revoke the certificate holder's certificate as the case may be.
