BIS (ISI) FMCS Certification
The Foreign Manufacturers Certification Scheme (FMCS) implemented by the Bureau of Indian Standards since 2000, falls under Scheme-I of Schedule-II. This scheme enables foreign manufacturers to obtain the prestigious ISI Mark, allowing them to market their products in India. Overseas manufacturers producing certain listed products can receive ISI certification, affirming compliance with Indian standards.
The ISI Certificate, issued by the Foreign Manufacturers Certification Department (FMCD) located at the Bureau of Indian Standards Head Office in New Delhi, grants authorization for the use of the Standard Mark on products meeting Indian Standard specifications. To qualify for the BIS Certificate, products must adhere to relevant Indian Standard requirements.
Additionally, foreign applicants must appoint an Authorized Indian Representative (AIR), who must be a resident of India, as part of the certification process. This ensures effective communication and representation within the Indian market.
