The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) is India’s national standard body,
responsible for setting and enforcing quality standards for products entering
the Indian market. BIS certification is a mandatory
requirement for a wide range of regulated products and allows manufacturers
to display the ISI mark, which
assures Indian consumers of product quality, safety, and reliability.
BIS certification ensures that:Products meet specific Indian Standards (IS)Goods are legally approved for sale in IndiaConsumer trust and market acceptance are

for Foreign Manufacturers
Nepalese companies, being foreign
entities under Indian regulations, must apply for BIS certification under the Foreign Manufacturers Certification Scheme
(FMCS). This scheme, governed by Scheme-I
of Schedule-II of the BIS Act, 2016, allows foreign manufacturers to obtain
a BIS license for using the ISI Mark
on products exported to India.
Key
Requirements for FMCS:- Product testing in BIS-approved laboratories
- Nomination of an Authorized Indian Representative (AIR)
- A factory audit conducted by BIS officials
- Compliance with all relevant
Indian Standards
Importance of an
Authorized Indian Representative (AIR)
Foreign manufacturers—including those
in Nepal—are required to appoint an Authorized
Indian Representative (AIR) who will act as a liaison between BIS and the
foreign applicant. The AIR handles application submission, communications with
BIS, and ensures post-certification compliance.
EVTL India assists with identifying
and appointing a reliable AIR, or can serve as your official representative,
ensuring legal compliance and smooth coordination throughout the
certification process.
