Understanding BIS Scheme X: ISI Mark Certification Made Simple

If you're a manufacturer in India, or planning to enter the Indian market, chances are you've come across the term BIS Scheme X—a certification system that mandates your product must carry the ISI mark to be legally sold in the country. While it may seem complicated, this blog will break it down in a way that's easy to understand.

At Standphill India, we simplify the BIS Scheme X certification process so you can focus on building and selling quality products—while we take care of the compliance.


โœ… What is BIS Scheme X?

BIS Scheme X refers to the certification process under the Product Certification Scheme governed by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). This scheme covers all products that require the ISI mark, which certifies that the product conforms to the relevant Indian Standards (IS) for quality, safety, and performance.


๐Ÿท๏ธ What is the ISI Mark?

The ISI mark (Indian Standards Institution mark) is a symbol of trust and compliance in India. It assures consumers and regulators that the product has been:

  • Tested in a BIS-recognized laboratory

  • Manufactured under a controlled quality system

  • Found to conform to specified Indian Standards (IS codes)

  • Approved by BIS after successful factory audit and product testing


๐Ÿ“ฆ Which Products Fall Under BIS Scheme X?

BIS Scheme X applies to over 150+ products across a wide range of industries, including:

  • Construction Materials – Cement, steel bars, paver blocks, etc.

  • Electrical Items – Cables, switches, motors, appliances

  • Consumer Goods – Gas stoves, pressure cookers, kitchenware

  • Footwear – Rubber, leather, plastic, and safety footwear

  • Toys – Electrical and non-electrical toys

  • Automotive Components – Vehicle safety and performance parts

  • Packaging and Chemicals – Various regulated goods

If your product is listed under any Quality Control Order (QCO) issued by the government, it must be certified under Scheme X and bear the ISI mark before sale or import.
