Introduction to bis certification in India
In order to unify product supervision standards and requirements and ensure product quality and safety, India began to implement product certification system in 1955. All products listed in the compulsory certification must obtain the product certification certificate according to the Indian product standard before entering the market. Therefore, in order to enter the Indian market, it is necessary for manufacturers to have some knowledge of the product certification system in India.
According to the Indian Bureau of Standards Act 1986, the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) is responsible for product certification. It is also the only product certification agency in India. There are 5 Regional bureaus and 19 sub bureaus under BIS. The regional bureau supervises the corresponding branch. 8 laboratories and some independent laboratories of bis are responsible for the inspection of samples taken during the product certification process. These laboratories are all in accordance with ISO / IEC17025:1999.
Since the product certification started in 1955 by the Indian Standards Institute, the predecessor of BIS, the product certification in India has a history of 50 years. At present, BIS has issued more than 30000 product certification certificates, covering almost every industrial field, such as agricultural products, textiles, electronics, etc.

（3） Initial inspection. Through the evaluation of the company's production capacity and control level, quality control technology, existing equipment, staff skills and sample testing, etc., to determine whether the products meet the Indian Standards.
（4） Issue certificate. If the results of the initial inspection and sample test meet the conditions, the certificate will be issued to the applicant. The certificate is valid for 2 years. If the execution certificate is correct, it can be extended for two years after one application. If the holder wants to expand the scope of products covered by the same standard of the certificate, regular test can be carried out, and the qualified products can be changed. If the certificate expires, the certificate can be updated according to the execution during the validity period.
（5） Post certification supervision. After the certificate is awarded, if the test and inspection scheme is fully performed by the holder, the product is consistent with the Indian standard, the sample test record is complete, and the product can be stamped with a mark upon authorization. Applicants are required to pay a certain mark fee.
BIS will conduct regular supervision and inspection on the implementation of the certificate by the holder. This kind of supervision and inspection mainly depends on whether the test and inspection scheme is fully implemented and whether the quality control system is strictly implemented in accordance with the technical standards. At the same time, test the production samples and send the samples to bis or independent laboratory for inspection.
The results of regular inspection and product test will be informed to the executor in an appropriate way. In case of any continuous non conformity, the use of the mark on the product shall be suspended; if the regular inspection and product test are not in conformity with the requirements, especially with Indian Standards, BIS will decide to suspend the use or directly revoke the certificate of the holder according to the situation.
