How it works

## How BIS certification works with GTC 

1

### Scheme identification + IS mapping

We identify the correct BIS scheme for your product, map it to the relevant Indian Standards, and confirm the laboratory testing required.

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.

What's included

-   BIS scheme identification. ISI Mark, CRS, FMCS, or hallmarking 
-   Indian Standards (IS) mapping for your product category 
-   Coordination with BIS-recognised testing labs in India 
-   Application package: forms, declarations, and AIR appointment 
-   Authorised Indian Representative appointment for foreign manufacturers 
-   Factory inspection coordination, including overseas factories under FMCS 
-   Annual marking-fee management and renewal 6 months before expiry

Get started

### Get your BIS certification scoped

Tell us about your product and where it is made. A GTC consultant will identify the BIS scheme, scope the work, and email a quote after a free scoping call.

No payment required  Reply within 1 business day A GTC attorney reviews it & sends a flat-fee quote. 

Foreign manufacturer? Mention the factory country. FMCS requires an on-site BIS inspection and an Authorised Indian Representative, which we coordinate.

Brand details

1

What product needs BIS certification?\* 

The product you want to sell in India — for example an LED lamp, steel rebar, or a packaged-water brand. 

2

Where is the product manufactured?\* 

Domestic products use the ISI or CRS schemes; products made abroad use the Foreign Manufacturer scheme (FMCS), where BIS inspects the overseas factory. 

3

What product category is it?

For example electronics/IT, electrical appliance, steel, or toys. BIS certification is mandatory for about 150 categories — we confirm which scheme applies (ISI, CRS, or FMCS). 

4

Do you have an Authorised Indian Representative (AIR)?

Foreign manufacturers need an AIR — a local Indian entity that handles certain compliance duties. We can act as your AIR or recommend one. 

5

Anything else we should know?

Timelines, existing test reports, or specific concerns.

Why GTC

## Why route BIS through GTC 

Legal team

GTC's regulatory team

Regulatory counsel

Attorney-led

### 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.

Your Customer Success Team

## A dedicated team that owns your matter from start to finish.

Every GTC client gets a dedicated Account Manager and a Senior Account Manager who learn your business and stay with you from first email to final filing. They are named people who pick up the phone and already know your matter, so every step moves forward without delay.

### Your Account Manager

Your day-to-day point of contact, who coordinates every matter, keeps things moving, and already knows your file. They have your full history, so you start every conversation where the last one left off.

### Your Senior Account Manager

Senior oversight on strategy and escalations, stepping in as your needs grow, so every important detail stays on track.

A named person, on email or a call, at every step.

Domestic ISI runs 4–6 months; FMCS for a foreign factory runs 6–12 months given inspection and visa logistics. CRS for electronics is the fastest route.

1.  Weeks 1–2 
    
    ### Scheme identification + IS mapping
    
    We confirm the correct BIS scheme, map your product to the relevant Indian Standards, and pin down the lab-testing requirements.
    
2.  Weeks 2–8 
    
    ### Testing + application
    
    Samples are tested at a BIS-recognised lab. We file via the BIS Manak Online portal with declarations, appointing your Authorised Indian Representative where needed.
    
3.  Weeks 4–16 
    
    ### Factory inspection
    
    The inspection is scheduled, 4–6 weeks for a domestic factory, 8–16 weeks for FMCS given travel and visa logistics.
    
4.  Annually 
    
    ### Certificate + maintenance
    
    The Certificate of Conformity is issued and the ISI or CRS Mark is licensed. We manage annual marking fees and start the renewal 6 months before expiry.
