Exempted Products List

Exempted Products List

If you are manufacturing or importing the product which is defined in Mandatory BIS Registration List and your product meets at least one of the following criteria –

a.  Equipment Powered by Three-phase power supply, OR

b.  Equipment Powered by Single phase power supply with a current rating exceeding 16 Ampere, OR

c.  Equipment with dimensions exceeding 1.5 m x 0.8 m, OR

d.  Equipment with a weight exceeding 80 Kg.

 

And also, you are importing / manufacturing less than 100 unit per year.

Then BIS Registration will not be applicable to your product. For example, if you are importing large format printers which dimension is exceeding 1.5m x 0.8m and quantity is less than 100 units per year then BIS Registration will not be applicable on this product. You only need to submit the “Self Declaration” letter for the same to get the clearance at the customs.

Guidelines for Marking Label after BIS

The Marking Label must be clear on every product which cannot be removed, cannot be scratched and cannot be washed off by normal efforts. It is advised to emboss or print marking label on the product. The printed metal plate of the marking label well fixed on the product can also be a good option.

The Product Marking Label must mention the following information :

  • Name of Product (Category)
  • Model Number
  • Brand Name
  • Power Rating (Input / Output)
  • Name of Manufacturer
  • Made in Country Name (Like Made In India, Made In China etc.)

Other information on marking label is optional and can be mentioned as per products’ individual requirements. 

Fixing of BIS Logo on Product

BIS Logo must be put on every registered product & packaging after getting the BIS Registration Number of that particular product (model). The logo should be non-washable and non-removable. It is better to put it either by embossing or printing. The logo must be visible clearly and preferred to be fixed on marking label or nearby.

Please remember, no scheduled product can be sold or can be exported to India without BIS Logo & BIS Registration Number fixed on it.

BIS Logo is the combination of the following:

  • IS Standard Number
  • Icon
  • Registration Number
  • URL of BIS Website (www.bis.org.in)

View the Logo Guidelines click here

Kind of Business License Required

Business License of the applicant (manufacturer) is required to get BIS Registration.  Below are the features carried out by Business License:

  • Business License should be issued by Government Authority
  • Manufacturing / Production word must be mentioned in Business Scope
  • Exact English Translation (in the same format) must be presented along with a copy of original License (if it is issued in other Language)
  • Both copies (English + Original) must be sealed & signed by the applicant

Business License without business scope as manufacturing or production will not be accepted.

If a Business scope is not mentioned in Business License then ISO Certificate or any other Government Certificate (Like Tax Registration etc) of the same factory which carries the business scope as the manufacturer can be produced along with a copy of Business License for the support of Factory Proof. This supportive certificate also must be presented with the English Translated version with sign & seal by applicant.
