BIS Consultant for Imported Products
BIS Consultant for Imported Products
If you are a foreign manufacturer or an Indian importer dealing in products that fall under the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) mandate, obtaining BIS certification is not optional—it is legally required before your goods can enter the Indian market.
At Er. P.K. Jain Consultants, we specialize in helping international companies navigate the complex BIS certification process under the Foreign Manufacturers Certification Scheme (FMCS), ensuring you remain compliant, competitive, and ready for business.
Why BIS Certification Matters for Imported Goods
The Indian government has significantly tightened quality regulations to protect consumer interests and ensure only safe, standardized products are sold in the country. Products such as electronics, toys, kitchen appliances, steel, chemicals, batteries, and pressure cookers now require mandatory BIS certification before customs clearance. Failure to comply can result in:
- Goods being seized at Indian ports
- Fines or rejection by regulatory authorities
- Delays in customs and supply chain interruptions
- Permanent blacklisting for repeat non-compliance
Whether you're exporting finished goods or components, you need BIS approval before distribution, resale, or use within Indian territory.
What Is FMCS (Foreign Manufacturers Certification Scheme)?
FMCS is a certification scheme operated by BIS for overseas manufacturers. It allows foreign companies to apply for and receive the same BIS certification that domestic companies are subject to, including use of the ISI mark.
This process involves:
- Nominating an Authorized Indian Representative (AIR)
- Submitting technical and legal documents
- Sending product samples to BIS-approved labs in India
- Hosting a BIS officer for factory audit and sample sealing
- Ensuring proper labeling, testing, and traceability
