BIS Certification

India stands as one of the fastest-growing consumer markets globally, presenting vast opportunities for foreign manufacturers across sectors like electronics, automotive, chemicals, and consumer goods. However, entering this market requires compliance with mandatory quality standards set by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS).

At ERCS International, we specialize in BIS Certification for Foreign Manufacturers (FMCS). We ensure a smooth, compliant, and time-efficient approval process, empowering international brands to navigate Indian regulatory waters with confidence.

What is BIS Certification?

The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) is India’s national standards body. Certification verifies that a product adheres to specific Indian Standards (IS) regarding quality, safety, and reliability.

Note: For foreign manufacturers, BIS Certification is mandatory. Products without valid approval risk customs rejection, seizure, or legal prohibition from sale.

BIS Certification for Foreign Manufacturers (FMCS)

The Foreign Manufacturers Certification Scheme (FMCS) allows overseas plants to obtain a BIS license without establishing a manufacturing unit in India. Once granted, manufacturers can apply the ISI Mark to their products, a symbol of trust for Indian consumers.
