ISI Registration, commonly referred to as ISI Mark Certification, is a product certification process under the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). It helps manufacturers demonstrate that their products meet the applicable Indian Standards for quality, safety, and performance.

For products covered under mandatory BIS certification requirements, manufacturers must obtain the applicable BIS Licence before manufacturing, selling, or distributing the products in the Indian market. BIS Certification helps manufacturers demonstrate compliance with relevant Indian Standards and strengthens customer confidence in product quality and safety.

ISI Registration may be required for manufacturers whose products are covered under mandatory BIS certification requirements. It may be relevant for:

• Indian manufacturers producing products covered by mandatory BIS requirements.
• Manufacturers supplying applicable products in the Indian market.
• Foreign manufacturers producing applicable products for the Indian market under the relevant BIS certification scheme.
• Businesses whose products are specifically notified for compulsory BIS certification.
• Manufacturers looking to demonstrate compliance with applicable Indian Standards.

The exact ISI Certification requirements depend on the product, applicable Indian Standard, manufacturing process, testing facilities, quality-control arrangements, and relevant BIS regulations.

• 1. Mandatory ISI Certification Certain products are covered under compulsory BIS Certification requirements. Manufacturers of such products must obtain the applicable BIS Licence before placing the products on the market, as required by applicable regulations.
• 2. Voluntary BIS Certification For products where BIS certification is not mandatory, certification may be available under applicable BIS schemes. Voluntary BIS Certification can help manufacturers demonstrate conformity with relevant Indian Standards and improve customer confidence in product quality and safety.

The availability and requirements of voluntary certification depend on the product and applicable BIS scheme.
