MCM is aware of how important BIS certification is to manufacturers that want to sell in India. Before being marketed or imported, some products, such as coin cells, nickel batteries, and lithium batteries, must pass stringent testing and receive official permission under India’s compulsory registration scheme. This guarantees that every product satisfies Indian performance and safety requirements.
Our team has guided countless manufacturers through the compulsory registration scheme, helping them navigate the complex regulatory landscape efficiently. With our expertise, companies can secure a valid BIS certificate quickly and avoid common pitfalls that might delay market entry. By combining comprehensive testing with practical regulatory guidance, MCM ensures smooth and reliable certification for your products.
Step-by-Step Guide to Obtaining a BIS Certificate
Successfully acquiring BIS certification under the compulsory registration scheme involves a series of structured steps:
Pre-Assessment: We begin by identifying the relevant Indian standards for your product. For lithium batteries, the applicable test standard is IS 16046 (Part 2):2018, while nickel batteries follow IS 16046 (Part 1):2018. Coin cells and other battery types also fall under the mandatory registration scope.
Testing & Evaluation: Once the standards are defined, we conduct compliance testing in accredited laboratories. This includes electrical safety, cycle life verification, overcharge/short-circuit protection, and environmental reliability assessments. By performing thorough testing, we ensure your products meet the BIS requirements.
National Approvals & Documentation: After passing the tests, we assist with the submission of technical documents, sample products, and factory details to BIS. Our team maintains close communication with BIS officials to ensure the approval process under the compulsory registration scheme proceeds smoothly, minimizing delays and avoiding registration issues.
Following this workflow allows manufacturers to achieve certification efficiently while ensuring compliance with India’s stringent regulations.
