What is BIS Registration & Certification?

The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) is India's National Standards Body. It was established in 2016 under the BIS Act. BIS develops standards, marks goods, and certifies quality. It also ensures that products and services meet Indian Standards (IS). BIS operates a scheme for marking precious metals and jewelry. BIS registration is a thorough process. It ensures that products meet quality and safety standards set by BIS.

Manufacturers follow the application procedure for BIS registration. This helps them understand the steps they need to take. The conformity assessment checks if products meet the relevant standards. The Compulsory Registration Scheme (CRS) makes it mandatory for certain products to undergo BIS registration before entering the Indian market. Scheme-I and Scheme-II outline the requirements for the ISI mark and product registration. The ISI mark is a certification given by BIS. It shows that the product meets standards. Product testing, certification costs, BIS licenses, and standards compliance are all important parts of the process. Certification bodies authorized by BIS assess products to ensure they meet the necessary criteria. BIS registration plays a crucial role in maintaining quality and safety standards in the Indian market.

Should it be a private limited company,limited liability partnership , partnership firm, one person company or a sole proprietorship. Each of these has very specific advantages and disadvantages.

Government Registrations

In India, you need a license for everything in business. Started a manufacturing business? You need aGST Registration and a Trade License. For a food business, you need an FSSAI license. Have employees? You need a Professional Tax registration and Shops & Establishments Act Registration. If that`s not enough, you also need to file GST Returns and Professional Tax Returns.

You need to inform them of every relevant change you make, whether it is adding a director, removing a partner or increasing authorised share capital. You also need to file annual returns and maintain your accounts. In the case of a private limited company, you even need them audited.
