/BIS Registrations Mandatory for Chemical Products before 13th Dec, 2020

In June 2020, the Indian government announced mandatory BIS registrations and certification for the manufacture and import of 14 chemical products. If, as a foreign manufacturer, you have not completed this certification before December 13, 2020, you are no longer allowed to export your products to India. In this article, our expert Dhrub Thakur describes how you can receive the BIS certificate as quickly as possible.

Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS)

Chemical manufacturers are subject to a factory inspection to obtain the mandatory BIS certification

These are the 14 chemical products that require the new, mandatory BIS registrations and certification

Without a local expert, there will be delays or worse with BIS registrations and certification

Once the submitted documents are approved, a visit to the factory will be approved by the BIS and an inspector will be appointed to visit the factory to review the documents and the manufacturer’s procedure. Foreign manufacturers are required to appoint a local Indian authorized representative who can represent the foreign applicant and also certify the documents. “This can, of course, be the importer or agent,” says Mr Thakur. “The inspector then visits the factory to inspect the processes and takes samples that are tested in an independent laboratory in India before certification can be granted.”

“Completing the application and the associated documentation, organizing the inspector’s visit and checking the samples in the laboratory takes a lot of time. That is why, I cannot stress enough that you, as a foreign producer, should start the certification process immediately and with appropriate local help”, said Mr Thakur.
