If, as a foreign or overseas\nmanufacturer, you have not completed or obtained BIS Certification before Dec\n13, 2020, you are no longer allowed or permitted to export your products to\nIndia. The extension of the scope of mandatory BIS Certification for Chemicals\nis in line with the so-called 2023 Plan of the Prime Minister of India. Based\non this plan, the Government of India since 2019, has already been pursuing the\ngoal of ensuring the safety, reliability, and quality of the products available\non the market through robust expansions of the BIS Certification regulations.\nHence, it&#8217;s expected that more &amp; more products or items will fall under a\nmandatory Certification in the coming years.

While the Certification has been voluntary, it was made mandatory by the Government of India for a number of products or items. A licensee holding the BIS Certification for Chemical Items or any items is allowed to use the ISI mark on their products, which tells that the product meets the Indian Standards that are set by the BIS or <strong>Bureau of Indian Standard<\/strong><sup><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Bureau_of_Indian_Standards\"><strong>[1]<\/strong><\/a><\/sup><strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_Issues_BIS_Certification_for_Chemicals_products_in_India\"><\/span>Who Issues BIS\nCertification for Chemicals products in India?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>BIS\nCertification for Chemicals products in India is issued by the BIS or Bureau of\nIndian Standards office. It&#8217;s a National Standards Body that was established\nwith the aim of promoting &amp; nurturing the standards movement in the\ncountry. The BIS issues this certificate after conducting a safety test of the\nproduct or item according to the defined Indian Standard and providing required\ndocuments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Use_of_BIS_Certification_for_Chemicals\"><\/span>Use of BIS\nCertification for Chemicals<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Bureau\nof Indian Standards, being a National Standards Body in India, maintains\nproduct quality, reliability, and safety.
