Who the requirement lands on
A Quality Control Order applies to the product, so it reaches every business that touches it. What you have to do depends on your role.
You cannot make it for the Indian market until you hold a licence, and BIS officers inspect your factory as part of getting one.
Goods landing on or after the order took effect must already comply. Non-certified goods can be stopped at customs.
Marketplaces enforce the same orders the government does, and ask for the certificate on record for regulated categories.
Record checked August 2026. The order recorded for this product is dated 1 January 2024. Confirm the current status against BIS before you commit to a shipment. Everything on this page comes from one record. It describes that record, not your business.
What each part of it means
Four pieces of official language run through this page. Here is what each one is, in plain terms, before you meet it anywhere else.
The published specification your product has to be tested against.
A BIS lab checks whether the product conforms on every requirement the standard sets out: testing methods, quality parameters and safety requirements. Standards are revised from time to time, and the order names which version applies.
See this standardLicence for products made in India, granted after a factory inspection.
Indian manufacturers of mandatory products. It is granted after a BIS officer inspects the factory, which is the main difference from CRS registration.
See the ISI Mark routeThe legal instrument that made this product compulsory.
A Quality Control Order is a legal notification under the BIS Act, issued by a ministry and published in the Gazette of India. It names the products covered and the Indian Standard each one must meet. Once notified, no person may manufacture, import, store, sell or distribute those products without BIS certification.
See all ordersThe customs classification for the product.
It is the 8-digit code India uses to classify products for customs and tax. It tells you which category you are in, but it is not the requirement itself. The standard above is what the product must actually meet.

The recorded cost, and what sits under it
This is the range recorded for the ISI Mark route. It is an estimate held in this database. It is not a quotation and not an official BIS price.
- Testing at a BIS-recognized labEstimate. Varies with product complexity and the lab you choose.₹14,186 – ₹49,664
- BIS application feeOfficial BIS fee. The same figure on every product in this database.₹1,000
- Marking feeRecurs for as long as you hold the certificate. It scales with production volume, which is why the range is wide.₹5,000 – ₹1,00,000
These do not add up to the band, and this record does not say why. So no total is shown here. Two costs the ISI Mark route involves are not itemised on this record at all: BIS officer travel for the factory inspection, which the ISI route page puts at ₹10,000 to ₹50,000, and consultant fees if you use one. Whether those account for the difference is not something this record states, so treat the band above as the figure to plan against and the rows as indicative detail.

Labs the directory files under Chemicals
34 BIS-recognized labs carry this category. Four of them are below, with the cost range and turnaround recorded for each.
These are matched on category, not on the standard. The directory records which categories a lab covers. It does not record which labs are accredited for IS 1381 (Part 1), so confirm that with the lab before you ship samples to it.
What people ask next
Answered from this product's own record, and from the rules that apply to every product on the mandatory list.
Is BIS certification mandatory for Laboratory glassware - Narrow-necked boiling flasks?+
Yes. ISI Mark certification is mandatory for Laboratory glassware - Narrow-necked boiling flasks, and it is tested against IS 1381 (Part 1). Manufacturing, importing or selling it without a valid licence is an offence under the BIS Act, 2016.
What does BIS certification cost for Laboratory glassware - Narrow-necked boiling flasks?+
The recorded band is ₹37,829 – ₹1,52,559. The components recorded on the same row are lab testing at ₹14,186 – ₹49,664, a BIS application fee of ₹1,000 and an annual marking fee of ₹5,000 – ₹1,00,000. Those components do not add up to the band and the record does not explain the gap, so treat the band as the figure to plan against. Of the two ranges, the annual marking fee is the wider on this row. The marking fee itself is charged against production volume.
How long does BIS certification take?+
The record gives 8 to 16 weeks from application to licence. That is the range to plan against rather than a promise, and the record does not break it down further.
Which order makes BIS certification mandatory for Laboratory glassware - Narrow-necked boiling flasks?+

Can I sell this product while the application is being processed?+
No. There is no sell first, certify later option for a product covered by a Quality Control Order. It may not be manufactured, imported, stored, sold or distributed in India until the certificate is issued.

Yes. A Quality Control Order applies equally to domestic goods and imports. Goods landing on or after the effective date must already comply, and non-certified goods can be stopped at customs.
My factory is outside India. Is the ISI route the one I use?+
No. The ISI Mark licence is for products made in India, and it is granted after a BIS officer inspects the factory. An overseas factory exporting into India uses FMCS instead, which requires an Authorised Indian Representative based in India.
