What is BIS?

The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) is India's national standards body, functioning under the Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Food, and Public Distribution, Government of India. BIS specializes in product standardization, certification, and testing.

ISI Scheme 

Under this scheme, the licensee (manufacturer) is required to use or apply a Standard Mark ISI provided by the Bureau of Indian Standards for goods generated on a manufacturing premises that meet all of the requirements of the applicable Indian Standard(s).

Audited Products :

IS 210 covers grey iron casting. This standard (Part 1) regulates the requirements, method of sampling, and test for Grey Iron Casting designed for general uses, such as for use in Industrial Machinery Parts—from housing materials and hydraulic parts to machine bases and other components, etc.

Suggestions to Manufacturers :

To achieve BIS certification and produce a standard quality product, the producer must verify that their product meets the stated Indian Standard Specifications (ISS), which we have directly interpreted to you from BIS authorities in accordance with Indian Standards. All producers must get a BIS license from the Bureau of Indian Standards in order to sell their products in India and use the standard ISI mark.

ERCS Pvt. Ltd. has established a large network within the industry and numerous BIS departments to assist in assuring the product Grey Iron Casting conforms to IS 210.

About BIS Auditing Process :
