BIS Certification Consultant in India
Sun Certifications India helps Indian and foreign manufacturers secure BIS approval with clear guidance, accurate documentation and end-to-end support for ISI Mark, FMCS, CRS and Scheme X certification.
What is BIS Certification?
The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) is India's national standards body. BIS certification confirms that a product complies with the relevant Indian Standard for safety, quality and performance. For many product categories covered under Quality Control Orders (QCOs), BIS approval is mandatory before manufacture, import or sale in India.
Depending on the product, certification may be granted under the ISI Mark Scheme for Indian manufacturers, the Foreign Manufacturers Certification Scheme (FMCS), the Compulsory Registration Scheme (CRS) for electronics and IT goods, or Scheme X for specified machinery and equipment.
