Foxwyn Global Assurance LLP
BIS RegistrationBuilt on standards.
A clear path to product compliance in India. Expert consultancy for ISI, CRS, FMCS and Scheme X—from classification to assessment readiness.
Understand the framework
One standards body.
Different paths to conformity.
The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) is India’s national standards body. Its product-certification and registration schemes demonstrate conformity to the relevant Indian Standard. Your route depends on what you make, where you make it and the applicable government notification.
Consultancy, not certification issuance
Foxwyn supports requirements review, documentation and coordination. BIS independently evaluates applications and grants approvals. Reference marks do not imply affiliation, accreditation or product approval.

Explore each route’s purpose, supporting evidence and ongoing obligations.
FMCS · Overseas Scheme I
Foreign Manufacturers
FMCS enables eligible foreign manufacturers to obtain a BIS licence for products conforming to the relevant Indian Standard. It is the overseas route under Scheme I—not a substitute for CRS. The manufacturer nominates an eligible Authorised Indian Representative (AIR).
Who it is for
Overseas factories seeking BIS product certification under the FMCS route.
Eligible imported products covered by Scheme I. Overseas manufacturers of CRS-notified goods follow Scheme II instead; classification comes first.
Official BIS scheme guidanceKey documentation & assessment
- Foreign factory and legal-entity records with product scope
- AIR nomination, undertaking and eligibility documentation
- Testing and inspection arrangements and product test evidence
- Factory inspection coordination, sample testing and prescribed licence formalities
After approval
The overseas licence holder remains responsible for conformity, marking, surveillance and renewal. Keep AIR details current and coordinate factory or market sampling when required.
Scheme X regulatory note: Mandatory coverage is product-specific. The August 2026 machinery-safety guidance follows rescission of the 2024 Omnibus Order and describes voluntary certification. Check separate electrical-equipment orders and current amendments. Read BIS guidance.
Indian Standards & product scope
The right standard comes first.
There is no single BIS standard for every product. Each application needs the relevant technical standard, product scope and current scheme requirements.
Identify the Indian Standard
Map the exact product, construction, ratings and intended use to the current Indian Standard. Confirm edition, amendments, test clauses and the applicable product manual.
Check mandatory coverage
Review the operative QCO or notification, product description, exemptions and effective requirements. A broad category or HS code alone does not confirm applicability.
Match the approval scope
Define the factory, products, sizes, ratings, brands and model families. Grouping and additional testing must follow the relevant scheme and product guidance.

The Foxwyn approach
From product review to compliance readiness.
- 01
Classify your product
Identify the product, country of manufacture, Indian Standard and applicable QCO or notification.
- 02
Define the scope
Confirm the correct scheme, factory, brands, models and product variants before preparing the application.
- 03
Prepare the evidence
Compile technical documents, quality controls, factory records and AIR documents where applicable.
- 04
Coordinate testing
Plan samples and testing with a laboratory recognised or accepted for the scheme and standard.
- 05
Support assessment
Coordinate filing, inspection or technical evaluation and responses to BIS queries and non-conformities.
- 06
Maintain compliance
After the BIS decision, support marking, surveillance readiness, renewal and approved scope changes.
The sequence varies by scheme. Government fees, laboratory charges, assessment schedules and approval decisions are outside Foxwyn’s control.
