BIS ISI Mark Certification in India – Complete Guide for Domestic Manufacturers
BIS Scheme Explained | Process, Benefits & Why Standphill India Is the Best ISI Consultant
BIS ISI Mark Certification is a mandatory compliance requirement for domestic manufacturers in India whose products fall under notified Indian Standards (IS). Issued by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS), the ISI Mark confirms that a product meets prescribed safety, quality, and performance norms and is legally approved for sale in the Indian market.
With strict enforcement of Quality Control Orders (QCOs), manufacturers can no longer delay certification. This is where Standphill India, a leading BIS certification consultancy, plays a critical role—having already assisted 1000+ manufacturers, including top reputed companies, in successfully obtaining BIS certification.
What Is BIS?

Key Functions of BIS:
• Formulation of Indian Standards (IS)
• Product certification and conformity assessment
• Factory inspection and surveillance
• Enforcement of mandatory product compliance
• Consumer safety and quality assurance
In simple terms, BIS defines what is safe and acceptable to manufacture and sell in India.
