BIS Testing

A BIS Testing Lab is a laboratory recognized by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) to conduct testing and evaluation of products to ensure they meet the relevant Indian Standards (IS). BIS testing is an essential part of India’s certification system, helping guarantee the quality, safety, and reliability of products sold in the country.

Labs recognized by BIS are technically competent, well-equipped, and operate under strict quality assurance practices. Testing through a BIS-recognized lab is often a mandatory step for obtaining BIS certification, including ISI Mark Certification or Compulsory Registration Scheme (CRS) approval for electronics and other products.

  • Accredited Facility: BIS labs are accredited based on ISO/IEC 17025 standards and recognized after a rigorous assessment by BIS.
  • Product Safety Testing: Covers a wide range of products — from electronics, appliances, and building materials to food products and toys.

  • Mandatory for many products sold in India.
  • Ensures consumer safety and quality assurance.
