BIS FMCS Certification in India

Q: How can I check if a foreign company has a valid FMCS license?

To check if a foreign company has a valid BIS FMCS license, visit the official BIS website at bis.gov.in. Go to the “Product Certification (ISI Mark)” section and access the FMCS licensee list. Search using the company name, CM/L number, or product category. Verify that the license is active and matches the product's ISI Mark and CM/L number.

Q: What is the difference between BIS CRS and FMCS?

The Bureau of Indian Standards operates several schemes, and BIS CRS (Compulsory Registration Scheme) and FMCS BIS are two distinct ones: BIS CRS (Compulsory Registration Scheme): This applies mainly to electronics and IT products. Requires product testing in BIS-recognized labs, followed by self-declaration and registration. No factory audit is needed. Certified products carry an “R-number” mark. BIS FMCS (Foreign Manufacturers Certification Scheme): This applies to non-IT/electronic products under mandatory QCOs. Only for foreign manufacturers. Involves mandatory factory audits by BIS officials and product testing. Certified products bear the ISI Mark with a CM/L license number.

Q: How much time does it take to get the FMCS certificate?

The timeline for obtaining a BIS FMCS Certification can vary, but generally, it takes longer than other BIS schemes due to the factory audit component. The process usually takes 3 to 6 months from application, assuming all documents are complete, the factory is ready, and there are no major delays. Factors like the complexity of the product, the location of the factory (impacting audit logistics), and the responsiveness of the manufacturer can influence the overall timeline.
