Step 1: Select Product Code:
In the initial stage, manufacturers must choose the appropriate product quality by aligning with the guidelines set by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). This involves identifying and selecting an ISI standard product code for their specific product.
Step 2: File Application:
After determining the product code, manufacturers initiate the application process for ISI Certification. Assistance is provided to help submit the application, and the applicant is required to pay audit and registration fees to facilitate further inspection.
Step 3: BIS Inspection of The Factory Premises:
Upon filing the application, BIS officers, along with an inspection team, visit the manufacturing facility. The inspection focuses on evaluating the quality control measures and the overall manufacturing process. During this phase, product samples are collected for testing in a BIS-certified laboratory.
Step 4: Submit Sample Report:
A crucial step involves submitting the sample report of the product obtained from certified laboratories. This report provides essential insights into the product’s compliance with quality standards and is submitted to BIS for review.
Step 5: Grant of ISI Certificate:
Upon completion of the application and inspection process, the Bureau of Indian Standards issues the ISI Certificate. Typically, the entire process of obtaining ISI Certification is completed within 30 days from the date of application.
