What Is BIS Certification?


BIS Certification is a conformity assessment issued by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS), the National Standards Body of India. It certifies that a product complies with the applicable Indian Standards (IS) and meets prescribed benchmarks for quality, safety, and reliability.


BIS operates under the Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Food & Public Distribution, Government of India, and grants licences to manufacturers under voluntary and mandatory certification schemes. Once certified, manufacturers are authorised to use the ISI Mark on their products.


At Standphill India, we assist manufacturers and importers in obtaining BIS Certification and ISI Mark registration efficiently, ensuring full regulatory compliance and faster approvals.


Why BIS Certification Is Important in India


Consumers increasingly rely on BIS Certification as a mark of trust and authenticity. It helps answer critical questions related to product quality, safety, and reliability.

The ISI Mark includes:


• Licence number (CM/L-XXXXXXXXXX)
