BIS certification in India
The Government of India has made BIS certification mandatory for several electrical items in India, including semiconductor motor controllers, circuit breakers, voltage switchgear, and other products. Today, we'll look at what BIS certification is, how much it costs, and why it's required.
What is BIS Certification?
BIS Certification allows the certificate holder to provide third-party assurance of product quality, safety, and dependability to customers and is primarily required for import of items. While certification was previously voluntary, the Indian government made it mandatory for a number of items. A licensee with BIS Certification may also use the ISI mark on their goods, indicating that the product meets the Indian standards set by the Bureau of Indian Standards.
Why is BIS certification required for mobile phones?
As previously stated, the Indian government has made the BIS certificate mandatory for the sale of certain electronic items in the country. The lack of a BIS certificate will also make importing mobile phones from other countries difficult. This is due to the Indian government's desire to limit the import of low-quality Chinese goods while preventing them from flooding Indian markets.
