The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) plays a vital role in ensuring that foreign manufacturers meet India's quality and safety norms through the Foreign Manufacturers Certification Scheme (FMCS).
One of the most crucial stages in this process is the documentation and audit phase, which determines whether a factory qualifies for BIS certification.

Here's a quick overview:

📄 Documentation: Applicants must provide Form VI, factory and product details, quality manuals, equipment calibration certificates, and the Scheme of Inspection and Testing (SIT).

🏭 Factory Audit: BIS officials visit the foreign facility to verify production processes, testing capabilities, and compliance with Indian Standards. Samples are also drawn for testing in BIS-approved Indian labs.

🔍 Post-Audit: Manufacturers must maintain records, test reports, and cooperate during periodic surveillance audits to retain certification.

This process ensures that only reliable, high-quality products enter the Indian market -- boosting consumer trust and maintaining fair competition.
