[Partner Event] BIS Certification and Compliance: Gateway to Global Market Access

India’s rapidly expanding consumer market presents major opportunities for global manufacturers, importers, and retailers. However, tapping into this potential requires compliance with India’s complex regulatory framework, particularly the mandatory product certification regime governed by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS).  

BIS, India’s national standards body, enforces product compliance through Quality Control Orders (QCOs) across schemes such as the ISI Mark, Compulsory Registration Scheme (CRS), Scheme X, and the Foreign Manufacturer Certification Scheme (FMCS). Adherence is essential for both foreign and domestic manufacturers. Recent compliance updates, including the Omnibus Technical Regulation (OTR) for Machinery and Electrical Equipment Safety, reflects BIS’s expanding mandate. Non-compliance may result in shipment holds, rejections, or financial penalties. 

In our upcoming webinar organized by the Indo-American Chamber of Commerce, Ankur Munjal , Country Director, India and Naina Bhardwaj, International Business Advisor at Dezan Shira & Associates India  will share practical insights on navigating India’s BIS certification landscape. The session will guide businesses through key procedural requirements, compliance strategies, and market entry considerations to ensure regulatory readiness and business success in India. 

Our experts will cover the following:

• Introduction to BIS framework and its significance 
• Compliance requirements for Indian and international companies 
• BIS certification process and challenges 
• Opportunities for collaboration and growth through adherence to standards
• Case studies/success stories of companies leveraging BIS for expansion
