How it works
How BIS certification works with GTC
2
Application + factory inspection
We file via the BIS Manak Online portal and coordinate the factory inspection — domestic in 4–6 weeks, FMCS in 8–16 weeks given travel and visa logistics.
3
Certificate + annual maintenance
Once the Certificate of Conformity is issued, the ISI or CRS Mark is licensed for use. We manage annual marking fees and start the renewal 6 months before expiry.
What it costs
Quoted by scheme and scope
BIS India Certification starts from $1,500. Every BIS engagement is quoted up front after a free scoping call, once the scheme and product are known. Our fee is scoped by scheme — domestic ISI certification versus the Foreign Manufacturer Certification Scheme for an overseas factory. BIS government fees, lab testing, and factory inspection are passed through at cost.

Right scheme, first time
ISI Mark, CRS for electronics and IT, or FMCS for a foreign factory. We confirm which scheme applies to your product before any fee is committed.
Built for foreign manufacturers
We appoint your Authorised Indian Representative and coordinate the BIS inspection of your factory abroad, so an overseas maker can carry the ISI Mark in India.
Indian Standards mapping
We map your product to the correct Indian Standards (IS) and arrange testing at a BIS-recognised lab, so the application matches what BIS expects.
Maintained, not just filed
Certification is a standing obligation. We manage annual marking fees and begin the renewal application 6 months before the licence expires.

Frequently asked questions
It is mandatory if your product falls into one of the roughly 150 Compulsory Quality Control categories — electrical appliances, packaged drinking water, cement, steel rebar, toys, electronics, and others. For other products BIS certification is voluntary, though Indian retailers and e-commerce platforms often require it.
