KMA Global Complete Guide to Getting BIS Certification for Chemicals in India

INTRODUCTION

In today's regulatory environment, making sure that products are of high quality and meet all requirements is not just a formality; it's a strategic need. The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) certification makes this duty even stronger in the chemical industry.
The ISI mark, which is also known as BIS certification, shows that something is safe, trustworthy, and of good quality. It's not just about building brand trust for producers and importers; Indian law says that many chemical products must have it.
As companies go through the BIS certification process, we at KMA Global help them confidently deal with technical rules, paperwork, and deadlines for compliance.

Why BIS Certification is very important in the chemical industry

Many fields, such as textiles, food processing, pharmaceuticals, agriculture, and manufacturing, rely on chemicals. India has strict rules about chemicals because they are used a lot and can be dangerous.
BIS certification guarantees:

• Things are made in a controlled setting.
• Formulations that are harmful or don't follow the rules never get sold.
• Maintaining industrial integrity, protecting the environment, and keeping the public safe are all important.

BIS certification is helpful whether you make or import:

• Get your clients' trust.
• Stay away from legal problems

Regulatory Structure: Quality Control Orders (QCOs) + BIS

BIS certification is required for certain chemicals due to Quality Control Orders (QCOs) issued by the Indian government through the Ministry of Chemicals and Fertilizers.
Every QCO describes:

• The name of the chemical
• Indian Standard (IS) code that is pertinent
• The compliance deadline
• Penalties for infractions

Noncompliance with these directives may result in:

• Seizing of products
• Bans on imports and exports
• Penalties under the BIS Act

KMA Global makes sure your company is always in compliance by staying ahead of these updates.

Substances Needing BIS Certification

Currently, many chemicals that fall into the following categories must be certified by BIS:

Industrial Chemicals:

• Caustic Soda
• Acid Acetic
• Sodium Sulphide

Inorganic and Organic Chemicals:

Being informed is essential because the BIS list is always changing due to the publication of new QCOs.

A Comprehensive Guide to BIS Chemical Certification

KMA Global offers comprehensive support for BIS certification. The procedure is as follows:

1. Determine the Relevant Indian Standard
Every chemical needs to adhere to a particular IS code that BIS has published. We assist you in determining and interpreting the appropriate standard for your product.

2. Sample Testing in Labs Approved by BIS
To make sure your product satisfies the requirements for safety, purity, and quality, it must be tested in a laboratory accredited by the BIS.

3. Get the paperwork ready and submit it

This comprises:

• Datasheets for products
• Test results
• Details of the manufacturing process
• Factory design and quality control procedures

The BIS Manakonline portal is used to file all documents.

4. Factory Inspection
BIS may conduct an inspection of your manufacturing facility to evaluate raw materials, safety compliance, and quality systems.

5. License Grant (ISI Mark)
Following approval, BIS authorizes the sale or distribution of your chemical product in India by granting a license to use the ISI mark.

Common Problems with BIS Certification (and How to Fix Them)

Even well-known companies can have trouble with the certification process. Some common problems are:

• BIS needs detailed, high-quality technical documents.
• High Costs: Lab tests, application fees, and audits can all cost a lot.
• Long Timelines: Delays happen because of mistakes or a lack of clarity.
• Not enough technical know-how: Smaller businesses may have trouble meeting IS requirements.
