1. 🧾 Introduction
The ISI mark, governed by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS), is a symbol of quality, safety, and trust in India. Whether you’re a manufacturer of electronics, construction materials, household appliances, or industrial products, ISI certification ensures your product complies with Indian standards.
In 2025, the demand for ISI mark registration has grown, with the government enforcing stricter quality compliance for both Indian and foreign manufacturers. Getting an ISI license not only protects consumers but also helps businesses stay competitive and eligible for government tenders.
2. 📜 Types of Licenses Offered
There are two main types of ISI certifications under BIS:
a. ISI Certification for Domestic Manufacturers
For companies that manufacture goods within India.
b. ISI Certification for Foreign Manufacturers (FMCS)
Foreign Manufacturer Certification Scheme – required if your manufacturing unit is outside India but you want to sell products with the ISI mark here.
Product Categories Include:
- Electrical appliances (wires, switches, fans)
- Steel products (TMT bars, steel sheets)
- Cement, packaged drinking water
- Gas cylinders, kitchen appliances
- Pressure cookers, LED lights, and more.
✅ Pro Tip: Over 380+ products now fall under mandatory ISI certification in 2025.
