BIS Certification Consultant in Europe: Your Strategic Partner for the Indian Market

The world economy is changing. The Indian market is considered one of the best opportunities for European manufacturers in the 21st century. The demand for quality European engineering, electronics and consumer goods is at a new high, with over 1.4 billion people and a rapidly expanding middle class.
But, entering the Indian market is not as easy as sending a container to Mumbai/Chennai. The Indian government requires hundreds of products to comply with the standards set by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) to guarantee the protection of its consumers and the industrial standardization of products.
We are your personal BIS Certification Consultant in Europe at UMSPCS. We cross the geographical and regulatory divide, giving you seamless access to your products from Europe to India.

What is BIS Certification?

The National Standards Body of India is Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). The function is to ensure that different products are available in the Indian market ensuring the standards, safety and compliance.
There are several products which cannot be imported, distributed and sold in India without BIS approval. The BIS certification ensures that a product is safe and of quality, as per the Indian standard. Depending on the product category, BIS certification may be mandatory under different schemes such as:
  • BIS CRS Registration
  • ISI Mark Certification
  • FMCS Certification
  • Scheme X Certification
  • BEE Registration
  • WPC Approval
  • WMI Registration

Before European manufacturers can export products to India, they should determine which certification scheme would be appropriate for the product.

UMSPCS assists businesses to choose the right route and go through it without getting confused.

Why Do European Manufacturers Need BIS Certification?

India has a strict compliance with the products. Items subject to compulsory BIS certification need to meet standards prior to their arrival in the Indian market.
If not certified by BIS then products can suffer from:
  • Customs clearance issues
  • Shipment delays
  • Product rejection
  • Penalties
  • Import restrictions
  • Market access problems

BIS certification also enhances customer trust and product credibility in India.

Certified products are favored among Indian buyers, distributors and importers to ensure that the product is safe, of high quality and meets compliance requirements.

BIS certification is a crucial business mandate for companies intending to expand their India business for the long term.
