What is a BIS certificate?
BIS Certification is granted by the Bureau of Indian Standards under the BIS Act, 2016 and proves that your product meets India's safety, quality, and compliance standards. From paperwork to lab testing and formalities, we simplify the entire process so you can focus on growing your business with confidence and credibility.
The cost depends on the product category, number of samples, and testing lab charges. Generally, the certification is valid for 2 years and can be renewed further by paying renewal fees and submitting updated documents.
