4. CERTIFICATION Conformity Assessment Schemes

4.1 As per the provisions of the erstwhile Indian Standards Institution (ISI), ISI had

been operating the Product Certification Scheme since 1955. Subsequently, with the enactment of BIS Act in 1986 and the responsibilities of the then ISI being taken over by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) BIS has been operating this scheme since 1987, primarily to provide products conforming to the Indian Standards to the consumers. ISI mark on a product indicates its conformity to the relevant Indian Standard. Before granting license to any manufacturer, BIS ensures availability of the required infrastructure and capability of the manufacturer to produce and test the product conforming to the relevant Indian Standard on a continuous basis. Samples are drawn from the production line as well as from market to check conformance of the product to the relevant Indian Standard.

4.2 The product certification is voluntary in nature except for 91 products compliance of

which to relevant Indian standards and to use BIS standard mark on such products after obtaining licence from BIS, has been made compulsory by the Central Government in public interest, on considerations of health, safety, environment etc.

4.3 In addition, Ministry of Communication & Information Technology, Department of

Electronics and Information Technology (Deity) has notified “Electronics and Information Technology Goods (Requirements for Compulsory Registration) Order, 2012” under which 15 products have been made compulsory for registration with BIS. The 15 products notified by Deity include LED/LCD TVs, Laptops, Printers, Set Top Box, Microwave Oven, Notebook/Tablets, Projectors, Servers, Storage, etc. Registration for self-declaration by the manufacturer is a simplified process of conformity assessment, which has been introduced, and is in addition to the existing system of licencing. In this new Registration System, a manufacturer himself makes a declaration his product conforms to the Indian Standard before he is allowed to put such a declaration on his products. Therefore, the manufacturer himself is providing an assurance on the quality of his product. For Registration, an applicant has to get the sample of their product tested from any laboratory in India recognized by the Bureau or any laboratory abroad covered under a mutual recognition agreement with the Bureau. The applicant has to submit the test report(s) along with Application Forms VI & VII to BIS for registration. The first Registration was granted by BIS on 12 June 2013.

a. 30 more Indian standards those exclusively deal with safety of various electric products, like, cooking ranges, toasters, etc.

b. Indian Standards on Safety in other fields, like safety of Toys, power threshers, safety of machines, safety of machine tools and their operation, safety requirements for use, care and protection of abrasive grinding wheels, etc.

4.4 Internationally, countries adopt different types of certification schemes, by

categorizing products based on risks to health, safety, environment, etc. ISO specifies 8 different types of Third Party Certification Schemes.

4.5 Therefore, with a view to efficiently provide certification services to industry, it is

proposed that BIS also provides different types of product certification schemes, based on categorization of products in terms of risk to health, safety, environment; product from small scale or large scale, maturity of industry as a whole for the product, etc. As such, the following, 4 types of certification schemes are proposed:

a) Conformity Assessment Scheme for Safety Requirements of Products (Type

2 of ISO certification scheme, with Testing in BIS / its recognised labs): It is proposed that all Indian standards exclusively on Safety of products may be brought under present "Registration Scheme for Self-Declaration of Conformity with Safety Requirements".

b) Conformity Assessment Scheme for Low Risk Products (Type 2/4 of ISO

certification scheme): This certification scheme “Registration Scheme for Self-Declaration of Conformity” is envisaged for product categories where i) The risk to the consumer is relatively low ii) The industry is mature with regard to its capability of manufacture quality

products on a consistent basis c) Conformity Assessment Scheme for Normal Products (Type 5 of ISO

certification scheme): This is the existing product certification scheme to be called “Licensing Scheme”. It is proposed to cover all products that are not otherwise covered under other schemes.

d) Conformity Assessment Scheme for High Risk Products (Type 7 of ISO

certification): It is proposed to call this scheme as the “Licensing Scheme for High Risk Products” This shall be applicable for products LPG cylinders, Valves and regulators, where safety requirements as per Gas cylinder rules are applicable.

5. Hallmarking

5.1 BIS hallmarking scheme for gold jewellery was launched on 11 April 2000 & for

silver jewellery in Oct. 2005. However the scheme was simplified and rationalized with effect from January 2006 and since then the number of licences have growing steadily. The progress of the scheme in last five years is as follows:

5.2 Publicity
