About The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS)

The erstwhile Indian Standards Institution (now Bureau of Indian Standards) was established in the year 1947 with the objective of harmonious development of standardization activity in India. The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) was established under the BIS Act, 1986 for the harmonious development of the activities of standardization, marking and quality certification of goods and for matters connected therewith or incidental thereto. A new Bureau of Indian Standards Act, 2016 which was notified on 22nd March 2016, has been brought into force with effect from 12 October 2017 that reinforces the activities of BIS in respect to standardization and certification of goods, articles, processes, systems and services.

Basic Requisites for BIS Licence

Obtaining a BIS Licence hinges on four key pillars:

2. Manufacturing Address: A valid manufacturing address must be provided. If a manufacturer operates multiple factory locations for the same product, each location requires a separate BIS Licence.

3. Product: Each product needs its own licence. However, multiple models within the same product category can be covered by a single licence.

4. Brand/Trademark: Each brand or trademark must have its own BIS licence.
