Introduction
In today's competitive marketplace, compliance is not just about following rules—it is about building trust, enhancing credibility, and ensuring safety. ISI Compliance: The power to not trust and to lose one’s virtue. In India one of the most powerful tools for achieving this is the ISI Mark Certification, which is given by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). We at EVTL India specialize in simplifying this often complex process of certification for manufacturers, importers, and industrialists. Wherever in the world you are, with our guidance you can obtain your ISI Mark quickly, cost-effectively and without hassle. I hope that this article hass
1. What is ISI Mark?
The ISI Mark is India’s most recognized quality certification mark. Issued by BIS, it ensures that a product complies with the relevant Indian Standards (IS code) for safety, quality, and reliability.
Key Facts:
ISI Mark was introduced by the Indian Standards Institute (ISI), which later became BIS.
It is mandatory for several product categories like electrical appliances, LPG cylinders, cement, tyres, helmets, packaged drinking water, etc.
For many other products, it is voluntary, but still highly recommended to gain consumer confidence.
In short, the ISI Mark is your passport to the Indian market, symbolizing safety, quality, and compliance.
2. Why Do You Need ISI Mark Certification?
Choosing ISI certification is not just about legal obligation; it brings multiple business advantages:
Legal Compliance – For certain products, it is mandatory by law. Non-compliance may attract penalties or bans.
Consumer Trust – Customers trust ISI-marked products more than uncertified ones.
Market Access – Essential for participating in government tenders and large procurement contracts.
Competitive Advantage – Certification differentiates you from competitors and boosts sales.
MSME Benefits – Special fee rebates are available for small and medium manufacturers.
At EVTL India, we ensure that you enjoy all these benefits by guiding you through the certification journey from start to finish.
3. Types of ISI Certification Procedures
BIS offers two methods to obtain ISI certification.
A. Normal Procedure (60–65 days)
Online application filing on BIS portal.
Factory inspection by BIS officials.
Product sample collection and testing in BIS-recognized labs.
Certification granted if everything complies with standards.
B. Simplified Procedure (35–40 days)
