BIS Registration
Mandatory certification from the Bureau of Indian Standards for quality compliance of specific products.
BIS Registration is a certification process governed by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). It ensures that products comply with Indian quality and safety standards before they are sold in the Indian market.
BIS issues certifications under:
ISI Mark Certification: For products covered under mandatory quality control orders.
Compulsory Registration Scheme (CRS): For electronics and IT goods notified by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY).
At Kanoons, we help businesses navigate the complex BIS process for timely and accurate product certification.
