Overview of BIS Certification
BIS stands for Bureau of Indian Standards, which is a National Standard Body of India established under the BIS Act 2016. Its purpose is to promote the harmonious development of standardization, marking, and quality certification of goods, along with related matters. BIS plays a critical role in providing traceable and tangible benefits to the national economy by ensuring the provision of safe and reliable quality goods, reducing health hazards to consumers, promoting import and export substitutes, controlling the proliferation of varieties, and more through standardization, certification, and testing.BIS is involved in various activities for the interest of consumers, and they are as follows:
In India, the BIS issues BIS Certification to provide customers with a third-party guarantee of goods' safety, quality, and reliability. The Government of our country has made it compulsory to consider public health for specific products. The purposes of BIS Certification are to increase the customer's confidence and trust in the products, provide quality assurance, safeguard customers from hazardous products and protect public health.
The manufacturers of electronic products listed under the Compulsory Registration Scheme (CRS) obtain the BIS Certification. The Compulsory Registration Scheme (CRS) was notified by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) in 2012. The Ministry also passed an order in 2012 that a person cannot manufacture, distribute or store goods for sale or import that do not conform to the Indian Standard as specified in the order and bear a standard mark with a BIS unique registration number.
Objectives of BIS
Quality Control Orders (QCO)
BIS is a National Standards Body in India responsible for Conformity Assessment, Standardization, and Quality Assurance of goods, services, processes, and systems. The Indian Standards established by BIS form the basis for Product Certification Schemes, providing Third Party Assurance of product safety, quality, and reliability to consumers.
While BIS certification is essentially voluntary, the Indian government mandates compliance with Indian standards for certain products under several considerations such as public interest, safety of humans, animals, or plants, environmental protection, prevention of unfair trade practices, and national security. For these products, the Indian government requires the use of Standard Mark under Certificate of Conformity (CoC) or License from BIS, issued via Quality Control Orders (QCOs) with the consultation of BIS.
The Central Government of India has published QCOs, exercising the powers conferred under Sections 16, 17, and 25 of the BIS Act, 2016, thereby making BIS certification mandatory for certain products.
