The process of obtaining ISI
registration typically involves the following steps:
Product Testing: The manufacturer submits samples of the product to a
BIS-approved laboratory for testing against the relevant Indian standard(s). The
testing evaluates various aspects such as material composition, performance,
durability, and safety.
Factory Inspection: After successful testing, BIS may conduct an
inspection of the manufacturing facility to verify that the production
processes comply with the prescribed standards and quality control measures.
Granting of ISI Mark: If the product meets all the requirements, BIS grants
permission to use the ISI mark on the product. The ISI mark is usually affixed to
the product or its packaging as a visible indication of compliance with Indian
standards.
ISI
registration is mandatory for certain products listed under the BIS
certification scheme, including electrical appliances, automotive components, construction
materials, food products, and others. It ensures that consumers have access to
safe and quality products in the Indian market, thereby promoting consumer
confidence and protection.
For
manufacturers, obtaining ISI registration demonstrates their commitment to
quality and compliance with national standards, which can enhance their reputation,
facilitate market access, and help in meeting regulatory requirements.
