CERTIFICATION
Conformity Assessment Schemes
4.1
As per the provisions of the erstwhile Indian Standards Institution (ISI), ISI had
been operating the Product Certification Scheme since 1955. Subsequently, with
the enactment of BIS Act in 1986 and the responsibilities of the then ISI being
taken over by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) BIS has been operating this
scheme since 1987, primarily to provide products conforming to the Indian
Standards to the consumers. ISI mark on a product indicates its conformity to the
relevant Indian Standard. Before granting license to any manufacturer, BIS
ensures availability of the required infrastructure and capability of the
manufacturer to produce and test the product conforming to the relevant Indian
Standard on a continuous basis. Samples are drawn from the production line as
well as from market to check conformance of the product to the relevant Indian
Standard.
4.2
The product certification is voluntary in nature except for 91 products compliance of

which to relevant Indian standards and to use BIS standard mark on such products
after obtaining licence from BIS, has been made compulsory by the Central
Government in public interest, on considerations of health, safety, environment etc.
4.3
In addition, Ministry of Communication & Information Technology, Department of

Electronics and Information Technology (Deity) has notified Electronics and
Information Technology Goods (Requirements for Compulsory Registration) Order,
2012 under which 15 products have been made compulsory for registration with
BIS. The 15 products notified by Deity include LED/LCD TVs, Laptops, Printers,
Set Top Box, Microwave Oven, Notebook/Tablets, Projectors, Servers, Storage,
etc. Registration for self-declaration by
the manufacturer is a simplified process
of conformity assessment, which has been introduced, and is in addition to the
existing system of licencing. In this new Registration System, a manufacturer
himself makes a declaration his product conforms to the Indian Standard before he
is allowed to put such a declaration on his products. Therefore, the manufacturer
himself is providing an assurance on the quality of his product. For Registration, an
applicant has to get the sample of their product tested from any laboratory in India
recognized by the Bureau or any laboratory abroad covered under a mutual
recognition agreement with the Bureau. The applicant has to submit the test
report(s) along with Application Forms VI & VII to BIS for registration. The first
Registration was granted by BIS on 12 June 2013.
a. 30 more Indian standards those exclusively deal with safety of various

electric products, like, cooking ranges, toasters, etc.
b. Indian Standards on Safety in other fields, like safety of Toys, power
threshers, safety of machines, safety of machine tools and their operation,
safety requirements for use, care and protection of abrasive grinding
wheels, etc.
4.4 Internationally, countries adopt different types of certification schemes, by
categorizing products based on risks to health, safety, environment, etc. ISO
specifies 8 different types of Third Party Certification Schemes.
4.5
Therefore, with a view to efficiently provide certification services to industry, it is

proposed that BIS also provides different types of product certification schemes,
based on categorization of products in terms of risk to health, safety, environment;
product from small scale or large scale, maturity of industry as a whole for the
product, etc. As such, the following, 4 types of certification schemes are proposed:
a) Conformity Assessment Scheme for Safety Requirements of Products (Type

2 of ISO certification scheme, with Testing in BIS / its recognised labs): It is
proposed that all Indian standards exclusively on Safety of products may be
brought under present "Registration Scheme for Self-Declaration of
Conformity with Safety Requirements".
b) Conformity Assessment Scheme for Low Risk Products (Type 2/4 of ISO
certification scheme): This certification scheme Registration Scheme for SelfDeclaration of Conformity is envisaged for product categories where
i) The risk to the consumer is relatively low
ii) The industry is mature with regard to its capability of manufacture quality
products on a consistent basis
c) Conformity Assessment Scheme for Normal Products (Type 5 of ISO
certification scheme): This is the existing product certification scheme to be
called Licensing Scheme. It is proposed to cover all products that are not
otherwise covered under other schemes.
d) Conformity Assessment Scheme for High Risk Products (Type 7 of ISO
certification): It is proposed to call this scheme as the Licensing Scheme for
High Risk Products This shall be applicable for products LPG cylinders, Valves
and regulators, where safety requirements as per Gas cylinder rules are
applicable.
