Introduction
BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards) certification is a mandatory compliance requirement for manufacturers and importers looking to sell regulated products in the Indian market. It ensures that products meet the safety, quality, and performance standards set by the Government of India.
Ornate Quality Services Pvt. Ltd. provides complete end-to-end support for BIS CRS, ISI Mark, and FMCS certification — from product identification and lab testing to documentation, factory inspection, and certificate issuance.
Our objective is to simplify BIS compliance for manufacturers and importers, enabling faster market access with complete regulatory confidence and transparent guidance at every step.
What is BIS Certification?
BIS Certification is issued by the Bureau of Indian Standards — India's national standards body operating under the Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Food & Public Distribution. It confirms that a product conforms to relevant Indian Standards (IS) and Quality Control Orders.
For electronic and IT products, the Compulsory Registration Scheme (CRS) requires manufacturers and importers to register their products with BIS before placing them in the Indian market. The ISI Mark applies to a broader range of industrial and consumer goods.
Importance of BIS Certification
Obtaining BIS certification is not just a legal formality — it is a strategic business requirement that protects your brand and opens doors to the Indian market.
Types of BIS Certification
ISI Certification
Industrial & Consumer Products
Mandatory for products listed under the Compulsory Registration Scheme (CRS) and Quality Control Orders. Covers domestic manufacturing and import of regulated goods.
CRS Registration
Electronics & IT Products
Compulsory Registration Scheme for electronic and IT goods. Required before manufacturing, importing, or selling covered products in the Indian market.
FMCS Certification
For Foreign Manufacturers
Foreign Manufacturers Certification Scheme enables overseas manufacturers to obtain BIS certification through authorized Indian representatives.
Products Covered Under BIS
BIS CRS covers a wide range of electronic and IT products. Below are some of the most commonly registered product categories:

Difference Between ISI, CRS & FMCS
ISI Mark applies to industrial and consumer products under Quality Control Orders and requires factory inspection for domestic manufacturers.
CRS Registration is specific to electronic and IT products and focuses on product testing without mandatory factory inspection for most categories.
FMCS enables foreign manufacturers to obtain BIS certification through an authorized Indian representative, with BIS conducting factory audits overseas.

- Domestic manufacturers of regulated electronic and IT products
- Importers bringing covered products into India
