BIS‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌ Scheme-X Certification: Overview, Process, and Requirement

BIS‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌ Scheme-X is a program of the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) designed to provide formal confirmation to products that require a conformity assessment but are not covered by the regular ISI certification (Scheme-I). The primary objective of this initiative is to ensure that goods comply with Indian safety, quality, and performance standards before entering the Indian market. The scheme is open to manufacturers and importers, as well as foreign manufacturers who are required to designate an Authorized Indian Representative (AIR).

Types of Certification under Scheme-X

License to Use the Standard Mark

This type of certification is mainly for products that are continuously manufactured.
It‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌ permits the usage of the BIS Standard Mark on the items, which is one of the ways of showing that the products meet Indian standards.

Certificate of Conformity (CoC)

In cases such as a single shipment, a prototype, or a small batch, it is the most suitable ‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌option.
The CoC is limited to the specific batch or consignment for which it has been issued.
