Is BIS Mark mandatory for my product?

Over 380 product categories carry mandatory BIS certification through Quality Control Orders (QCOs). Share your product or HSN code — we confirm applicability within 24 hours.

What is the difference between BIS Mark and ISI Mark?

They’re the same. ISI is the visible mark stamped on products; BIS Mark Certification (Scheme-I) is the underlying licence.

What is the validity?

Initial licence is for 1–2 years, renewable up to 5 years thereafter, subject to surveillance audits.

Do I need an in-house lab?

Yes — for most ISs the standard mandates in-house testing capability. We help you scope the minimum equipment needed.
