BIS ISI Certification for General Purpose Chairs and Stools (IS 17632:2022): Complete Compliance Support for Manufacturers

If you deal with plastic chairs, metal stools, wooden chairs, cafeteria chairs, or visitors' chairs, just having good-quality products is no longer sufficient to compete in the market environment of today. Companies dealing with furniture in India need to adhere not only to product quality but also to the relevant quality standards laid down by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). The BIS ISI Certification for General Purpose Chairs and Stools becomes mandatory for those manufacturing furniture in accordance with IS 17632:2022.

BIS certification is now mandatory for notified furniture products before they can be manufactured, distributed, imported, or sold in the Indian market. Furniture Order has introduced the mandatory BIS certification process for notified furniture products. Manufacturers might find themselves subject to regulatory restrictions, supply chain disruptions, and restricted access to government or institutional procurement opportunities without a valid BIS licence.

We are capable of offering you end-to-end support for securing BIS ISI Certification at UMSPCS, ranging from product assessments, documentation, test coordination, factory inspection support, and even licence approval.

What Are General Purpose Chairs and Stools Under IS 17632:2022?

Indian standard ensures that the furniture items perform reliably during their normal use. These standards apply to the design of chairs and stools that are usually available in residential, commercial, educational, hospitality, and institutional settings. Manufacturers must ensure that their products adhere to the required quality standards for getting the ISI Mark.

The certification of standard IS 17632:2022 ensures that the quality of the furniture is in accordance with the required standards.

Why is BIS ISI Certification Mandatory?

For a few furniture products, there are compulsory quality requirements that have been put in place by the Government of India, specifically by way of the relevant Quality Control Order (QCO). The products subject to notified standards must have a BIS licence for legal production, sale, or supply in India. If a product falls within the notified standards, it needs a BIS licence for legal production, sale, or supply in India.

BIS certification is a measure to ensure that manufacturers make furniture consistently to the applicable Indian Standard. It also ensures consumer protection by fostering safer, more durable, and quality products in the marketplace.

Apart from legal aspects, BIS-certified furniture is also likely to be preferred by government departments, educational institutions, corporate buyers, and big procurement agencies that need the ISI Mark.
