BIS license for foreign manufacturer

BIS Certificate for foreign manufacturer (FMCS), initiated by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) in 2000, enables overseas manufacturers to get BIS certification (ISI mark) for exporting products to India. It applies to both mandatory and voluntary product categories, with over 1,000 products falling under the mandatory list.

To apply, foreign manufacturers must appoint an Authorized Indian Representative (AIR), who acts as the liaison between the manufacturer and BIS. The process involves submitting required documents, undergoing an audit at the foreign manufacturing facility, and testing samples in India.

The steps for certification include submission of application, document scrutiny by BIS, audit assignment, and testing of samples. Once the audit is successful and test reports are received, the manufacturer is granted the BIS license.
