If you manufacture products in India: steel, cement, appliances, safety equipment, or consumer goods: you likely need ISI Mark certification. This guide covers the factory inspection process, document requirements, costs, and how to get certified.
For Indian manufacturers across 650+ product categories. Requires BIS factory inspection.
For electronics manufacturers. Product testing only: no factory inspection needed.
~50 new products become mandatory every year. Check if your product line is affected.
Use our BIS Checker to confirm your product requires ISI certification and identify the applicable IS standard.
Set up in-house testing lab, quality control processes, and documentation systems. BIS inspectors will verify these during the factory visit.
Send samples to a BIS-recognized lab for testing against the applicable IS standard. Testing takes 4-8 weeks.
Submit application with test report, factory documents, QC manual, and machinery list on the Manakonline portal.
BIS officers visit your factory to verify manufacturing capability, QC systems, and product consistency. 1-3 days. Budget ₹10K-₹50K for officer travel.
After successful inspection and document review, BIS grants the ISI license. Valid for 1 year, renewable annually.
