In today’s interconnected global marketplace, international brands and manufacturers are constantly looking to expand into promising new markets. India, with its vast population, growing consumer base, and strong economic growth, is one of the most attractive destinations for global trade. However, entering the Indian market also requires strict adherence to the regulatory framework established by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). For foreign manufacturers, navigating this system can be complex—especially when they do not have a manufacturing setup in India. That’s where BIS Scheme-X QCO comes into play—and EVTL India is your trusted partner to simplify and streamline this process.

What is BIS Scheme-X?

BIS Scheme-X, officially known as the Simplified Procedure for Grant of Licence to Foreign Manufacturers, allows foreign manufacturers to obtain ISI certification for their products without setting up a manufacturing unit in India. It is part of the BIS Foreign Manufacturers Certification Scheme (FMCS), designed to enable foreign companies to comply with Indian standards and legally sell their products in India with the ISI mark.

Scheme-X bridges the gap between global production and Indian regulatory compliance, ensuring imported products meet the same safety, quality, and performance benchmarks expected from locally produced goods.

Why is BIS Certification Important in India?

BIS certification is mandatory for a wide range of products in India, including:

• Electronics & IT equipment

• Electrical appliances

• Automotive components

• Chemicals and industrial products

• Construction materials

• Household and consumer goods
  
  

Products that fall under these categories cannot be sold in India without the BIS ISI mark, making compliance non-negotiable for any brand targeting the Indian market.

Challenges for Foreign Manufacturers

Many international companies face hurdles when applying for BIS certification from abroad:

• Complex documentation procedures

• Language barriers and policy interpretation

• Difficulty in coordinating with BIS officials

• Lack of an Indian representative or Authorized Indian Representative (AIR)

• Product testing and sample submission logistics

• No physical presence or manufacturing unit in India
  
  

These obstacles can result in delayed entry, increased costs, and lost business opportunities. This is precisely why Scheme-X by EVTL is a game-changer.
