Bureau Of Indian Standards (BIS) - Foreign Manufacturer's Certification Scheme

With the advent of liberalization in the Indian economy, the growth of foreign market players has tremendously increased. In the past three decades India has witnessed deep market penetration of foreign companies. It is pertinent to mention that different countries have different standards of product certification and are accordingly classified. However, to ensure that Indian consumers receive products of a standard quality, the Government of India has introduced the Foreign Manufacturers Certification Scheme under purview of Bureau of Indian Standards (hereinafter referred to as 'BIS').

The Foreign Manufacturer's Certification Scheme is granted to a foreign manufacturer, operating in India, when the products manufactured by it are in accordance with the prescribed Indian standards under the Bureau of Indian Standards Act, 2016.
