Overview
What is BIS Registration (ISI / CRS)?
BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards) is India's national standards body, and for many products its certification is mandatory before they can be sold. There are different schemes: the ISI Mark scheme (ISI-mark certification for notified products, e.g. many industrial and consumer goods), the Compulsory Registration Scheme (CRS) for notified electronics and IT products, and the Foreign Manufacturers Certification Scheme (FMCS) for overseas manufacturers.
All schemes involve testing the product against the relevant Indian Standard in a BIS-recognised laboratory, plus an application (and, for ISI, often factory assessment). Selling a notified product without BIS certification is an offence.
We identify which BIS scheme and standard apply to your product, coordinate the lab testing, and file your BIS application end to end.

Process
A clear path from start to filed
Official filing
How the BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards) portals (Manak Online / CRS) flow works
BIS certification runs through the BIS online systems for the relevant scheme, with product testing in BIS-recognised laboratories, document submission, and (for ISI) factory assessment before the licence/registration is granted.
We prepare, file and follow up through the official BIS systems and coordinate testing. We never claim a private API or guaranteed grant — certification and testing outcomes rest with BIS and the recognised labs.

It's an offence under the BIS Act, with penalties. Notified products must be certified before sale, so we map your obligation first.
