What is ISI Certification?

The ISI certification, short for Indian Standards Institution certification, is a hallmark of product quality, safety, and conformity to specific standards set by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). It is one of the most recognized and respected certification marks in India, signifying that a product meets the prescribed standards for performance, safety, and reliability.

The Importance of ISI Certification

Quality Assurance: ISI certification is a testament to a product’s quality and adherence to established industry standards. It assures consumers that they are purchasing a product that has undergone rigorous testing and conforms to safety and performance requirements.

Safety Compliance: For products involving safety, such as electrical appliances, ISI certification is critical. It ensures that the product has been evaluated for potential risks and has measures in place to protect users.

Legal Requirement: For certain products, ISI certification is mandatory before they can be sold in the Indian market. Non-compliance can lead to legal consequences and penalties.

Who Grants ISI Certification?

The ISI certification mark is now granted by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). BIS is the national standards body in India responsible for developing and promoting standards for various products and services to ensure their quality and safety.

Products Requiring ISI Certification

A wide range of products across industries may require ISI certification. These include electrical appliances, automotive components, building materials, food products, and more. The list of products subject to ISI certification can change as per government regulations.

How to Obtain ISI Certification

Obtaining ISI certification involves rigorous testing of the product by BIS-approved laboratories to ensure it complies with the relevant Indian standards. The process can be complex, and compliance requirements may vary depending on the product type.

Procedure for Obtaining ISI Certification in India

The manufacturer of the products submits the Application along with required documents and fees to BIS. After receiving the Application, BIS officers conduct factory inspections, collect a sample of products, test them, and make an independent testing report. The BIS ISI Certification is provided if the product meets the confirmed quality standards.

The steps to be followed for ISI Certification are as follows:

Step 1: Select Product Code: This is the primary step to select the product quality that complies with all the guidelines set by the BIS. The applicant must identify & choose an ISI standard product code for their product.

Step 2: File Application: Once you select the product code, we will help you apply for ISI Certification. Further, the applicant must pay audit and registration fees for further inspection.

Step 3: BIS Inspection of The Factory Premise: Once we file the Application, then the BIS Office and the inspection team will visit the factory premise of the applicant and examine the quality control & manufacturing process. The officer will collect some products as samples and send the same for testing in a BIS-certified lab.

Step 4: Submit Sample Report: It is necessary to submit the sample report of the product from the certified labs and submit it to BIS.

Step 5: Grant of ISI Certificate: Once the application and inspection process are completed, the BIS issues an ISI Certificate. Generally, the process of obtaining ISI Certification takes 30 days from the date of Application.

Validity and Renewal of ISI Certificate

ISI certificate is valid for only one year, and it can be further renewed by filing a renewal application and paying the prescribed renewal fees. The Application for the renewal must be examined by a Practising CA (Chartered Accountant).
