What is BIS certification, and why does my US company need it to sell in India?

BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards) certification confirms that a product meets India's mandatory safety and quality standards. If you're exporting electronics, electrical goods, or certain medical devices to India, BIS registration is typically required before your product can legally enter the Indian market.

Which BIS certification scheme applies to my product — CRS, ISI, or Scheme-I?

It depends on your product category. CRS (Compulsory Registration Scheme) generally applies to electronics and IT goods, ISI Mark applies to products under specific Indian Standards, and Scheme-I covers a broader range of items requiring factory-level quality assessment. Our team evaluates your product against BIS regulations to identify the correct pathway.

Do I need a local presence in India to get BIS certified?

Foreign manufacturers typically need an Authorized Indian Representative (AIR) to apply for BIS CRS registration on their behalf. Operon Strategist can support this coordination so you don't need to establish a physical entity in India just to get certified.

How long does the BIS certification process take?

Timelines vary by scheme and product complexity, but CRS registration generally takes a few weeks once testing and documentation are complete, while ISI/Scheme-I certification (which involves factory inspection) can take longer. We help avoid delays by managing lab coordination and documentation proactively.
