BIS ISI Certification for Tables and Desks (IS 17633:2022): Complete Compliance & Registration Support

Tables and desks are some of the core furniture items in the house, offices, schools, commercial premises and public buildings. With the increasing demand for good-quality furniture in India, manufacturers are anticipated to comply with the prescribed quality and safety standards prior to bringing regulated furniture to the market.             

The Government of India has issued Tables and Desks under the Furniture (Quality Control) Order, 2025 to enforce the performance, safety, and durability in furniture products. Any manufacturer of notified product needs to obtain BIS ISI Certification as per IS 17633:2022 prior to being sold on the Indian market.

From the process of identifying the standard applicable and preparation of the documentation to the process of testing products, conducting factory inspection and obtaining the BIS licence, we help each manufacturer in a step-by-step manner to achieve BIS ISI Certification for Tables and Desks.

What is the BIS ISI Certification of Tables and Desks?

BIS ISI Certification is the conformity assessment scheme carried out by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) to certify products with the applicable Indian Standards.

The applicable standard for Tables and Desks is IS 17633:2022 which lays down the performance, safety, strength, stability and durability requirements for adult tables and desks to be used indoors.

The manufacturers whose products are covered by the notified Quality Control Order are required to get a BIS licence, otherwise they will not be allowed to use the Standard Mark (ISI Mark) on their products.

The main steps of the certification process are:

  • The product has been tested in a BIS-recognised lab.
  • Evaluation of manufacturing and quality assurance processes
  • Health check done at manufacturing plant by BIS (if applicable)
  • Successful Compliance Grant of BIS ISI Licence

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.

Is BIS ISI Certification Mandatory for Tables and Desks?

Yes. Tables and Desks covered by IS 17633:2022 are mandatory to get BIS ISI Certification in accordance with the notified implementation timelines under the Furniture (Quality Control) Order, 2025.

Before manufacturing, selling, distributing or supplying regulated products in India, manufacturers should ensure compliance.

Failure to meet the requirement of the applicable BIS may lead to regulatory action as per the applicable provision of the BIS Act 2016 and applicable Quality Control Order.

What is BIS ISI Certification for Tables and Desks?

BIS certification is not just a regulatory stipulation but also a vital effort in enhancing the quality and credibility of products.

OEM Manufacturers

OEMs with products marketed by a different brand name also might need to comply with BIS.

Contract Manufacturers

BIS ISI Certification Process for Tables and Desks

A BIS-ISI Licence is issued upon compliance verification of the product and the manufacturing facility with the requirements of IS 17633:2022. The process could be different for different products and individuals but typically will involve the following steps:

Step 1: Identification of Applicable Indian Standard

The first step involves identifying the appropriate IS (Indian Standard) for the product. The manufacturer has to ensure that his/her product complies with the requirements of BIS standards.
Steps include:
  • Identification of the appropriate IS
  • Requirement of product compliance
  • Adjusting the manufacturing process to the BIS requirement
  • Modification of products
  • Step 2: Product Testing and Document Preparation

    Testing of the product is done in an NABL-accredited laboratory for compliance with the appropriate standard. At the same time, preparation of the documents required for certification is done.
    Steps involved are:
  • Testing of the product sample
  • Technical document preparation
  • Factory and manufacturing data collection
  • Quality control document preparation
  • Application form filling
  • Step 3: Application Filing with BIS

    After completion of the steps above, filing of the application with BIS with the necessary documents and fees is done.
    Steps include:
  • Filing a BIS application
  • Submitting test reports
  • Submitting factory data
  • Payment of the government fee
  • Preliminary examination by BIS officials
  • Step 4: BIS Factory Inspection

    An inspection is carried out by the officials of BIS to determine the manufacturing capacity and quality management system.
    This stage involves:
  • Manufacturing process evaluation
  • Production facility assessment
  • Quality control system assessment
  • Testing facilities evaluation
  • Product sampling, if needed
  • Stage 5: Laboratory Test and Evaluation of Test Reports

    The sample collected during the inspection is tested in the designated laboratories, and the test report is directly submitted to BIS for technical evaluation.
    This stage involves:
  • Laboratory tests of the product samples
  • Compliance with standards verification
  • Submission of test reports to BIS
  • Technical evaluation by BIS officials
  • Stage 6: Closing of Non-Conformity Issues

    In case there are any non-conformities detected through the inspection or testing process, then they need to be addressed before certification.
    This stage involves:
  • Addressing observations from BIS
  • Taking corrective measures
  • Submissions of revised documents, if needed
  • Closing of non-conformance issues
  • Step 7: Payment of License and Marking Fees

    After the successful completion of the evaluation process, the manufacturer is expected to pay the required fees.
    The steps involved are:
  • BIS licence fee payment
  • ISI marking fees payment
  • Completion of final compliance procedures
  • Step 8: Grant of ISI License

    On the successful completion of all the certification requirements, BIS awards the ISI license, enabling the manufacturer to affix the ISI mark on the certified products.
    Output from this step:
  • Awarding of ISI License by BIS
  • Permission for ISI Mark usage
  • Legal permission for the manufacturing and marketing of the certified products
  • Adherence to BIS regulations
  • Documents Required for BIS ISI Certification Tables and Desks

    Documentation requirements differ based on the product and the certification programme being followed.
