What is the difference between ISI Mark and BIS CRS Registration?

Scheme I (ISI Mark) applies to products like cement, steel, tires, and packaged water, and requires both lab testing and a factory physical inspection. Scheme II (Compulsory Registration Scheme - CRS) applies to IT and electronic goods (laptops, LED lights, mobile phones) and is granted based on lab test reports without mandatory pre-grant factory visits.

What is the consequence of selling products without mandatory BIS certification?

Selling products notified under Quality Control Orders (QCOs) without valid BIS certification attracts heavy fines, customs confiscation of goods, and imprisonment under the Bureau of Indian Standards Act, 2016.

Common mistakes to avoid

Avoidable filing errors that cause delays or rejection. Each can be resolved before submission.

1
Mismatched applicant legal name or identity details across KYC proofs
Why: Government verification APIs cross-check with UIDAI and MCA databases and automatically flag discrepancies in spelling or dates.
Fix: Our specialists pre-validate your documents against official government databases before portal filing.
2
Submitting outdated utility bills or non-notarized commercial leases
Why: Premises proofs older than 60 days or defective landlord NOCs trigger statutory scrutiny queries and multi-week processing delays.
Fix: We verify recent billing dates and provide pre-formatted, legally vetted landlord NOC and lease formats.
3
Selecting incorrect classification, turnover slab, or statutory activity code
Why: Applications filed under inappropriate classifications attract show-cause notices and potential rejection without statutory fee refund.
Fix: We conduct a statutory scope assessment to align your application with the exact regulatory requirements.
