POINTS NEEDS TO BE CONSIDERED TO GET BIS CERTIFICATE

  1. Choose a reputable testing organization/ BIS agent unless you have the expertise and/or an office in India that can assist you.
  2. Make sure the laboratory that you plan to use (in-country testing required) is currently authorized for testing of your product and is not in the middle of or about to get audited. At any given time it seems that a third of the laboratories are on suspension. If the lab is being audited, they may lose their authorization until the audit has been fully executed.
  3. Before shipment of samples, make sure complete arrangements have been made for the entire shipment from your location to the testing laboratories door.
  4. Prepare the documentation ahead of time to ensure there are no delays. Many of the documents have to be signed by the Manufacturer, Brand Owner and Indian Representative. In addition, the documents will require Notarization by the Manufacturer and Stamped by the Brand Owner and Indian Representative. If you did not read between the lines, you will have to send originals to India to be countersigned as appropriate.
  5. Make sure the CDF is accurate and that the description of the critical component list is completely filled.
  6. Remember the test report expires 90 days after the issue. If the BIS submittal is not underway by that date, you will have to start over with a new samples submittal and retest.
  7. Try to have all Agency/BIS documentation ready and hard copies sent to India before the testing is complete. Request that the Agency complete the address verification (1 week) before the testing completes to reduce delays.
  8. BIS normally takes about 15 days to either approve the registration or make additional requests. Expect multiple requests and delays. 30 to 60 days is a more realistic timeline to expect.
