BIS is a national standards body in India under the ministry of Food and Public Distribution Ministry as well as Consumer Affairs. This according to the Act of Agencies India Standards established on 23rd December, 1986. The minister of the Power Sector is the BIS chairperson of the executive and management if institutions. The predecessor of BIS is the ISI which in full stands for Indian Standards Institute. The association is based on the supply and industry sector. When India launched the social groups Registration Act in 1860, it was registered.

Legally, its 25 members are mostly from the state or central government, research institutions, consumer organizations as well as industry set ups. The headquarters of the Agency are in New Delhi. They have regional offices in Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata, Delhi, Chandigarh and in many other regions. In total it has twenty branches.

You can get the BIS certification in India as it is sold for certain commodities product certification program which was designed to provide consumers with the assurance on quality of the products. It also checks on reliability and safety levels of the commodities. This certification is done by the conventional monitoring of licenses to make sure that they are effective. Inspection and supervision measures include sudden sample checks in the factories and in market.

The simplified procedures need manufacturers to have sample test reports from licensed laboratories followed by BIS. If the test report is okay and meets the BIS standards too, the license is issued within 30 days once they are through with their fieldwork.

● If India imports maintain a good laboratory to meet the BIS standard test, then they get the same treatment for the Indian manufacturers.

● The BIS granted to foreign manufacturers is a bit more complex as it takes 45 to 60 days.

However, the BIS does not change from one country to another. In fact, not all products require BIS certification. In addition to the usual export and import customs procedures, all requirements of BIS certified goods should be printed and have an outer packaging of “self-declaration”. A good self-declaration should have a designated product registration number as well as IS (Indian Standards) number. The LED products with BIS certification must also have the following.
