The extension of the scope of mandatory certification for chemicals is in line with the so-called “2023 Plan” of the Indian Prime Minister Modi. Based on this plan, the Indian government since 2019 has already been pursuing the goal of ensuring the quality, safety and reliability of the products available on the market through strong expansions of the certification regulations. Therefore, it is expected that more and more products will fall under a mandatory certification in the coming years.

BIS-ISI certification includes testing in India as well as inspections of manufacturing factories. Requirements for in-house testing capabilities are also typically high.

To find out if your products have now been added to the mandatory certification list, please contact us. Since the list is constantly changing and expanding, it is often not clear whether a product falls under the certification obligation or not.

We can assist you and provide reliable information about the regulations for your product.
