ISI Mark Certification

Your trusted partner for BIS licensing — ensuring product quality, regulatory compliance, and seamless market access in India.

Overview

ISI Mark Certification is a globally recognized quality certification issued by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS), signifying that a product complies with the relevant Indian Standards (IS codes) for safety, reliability, and performance. Governed under the BIS Act, 2016, this certification is mandatory for over 450 product categories before they can be manufactured, imported, or sold in India.

The certification applies to both domestic manufacturers and foreign manufacturers (via the FMCS scheme). It ensures that products meet strict quality norms, protects consumer interests, and provides legal authorization for market entry. Bizmint provides end-to-end support, covering everything from initial gap analysis and documentation to lab testing coordination and factory audit assistance.
