Second, the type of BIS certification program:
India offers BIS certification for products of different types of plans, as follows:
1. The normal procedures of domestic manufacturers:
Applicants must submit a BIS certification application with the required documents and the necessary fees. After submitting the application, the BIS officer will conduct a preliminary factory assessment. The samples are then tested at the factory and tested independently. If the sample is acceptable, BIS certification is provided. In this approach, BIS certification is expected to be approved within 4 months of filing the application.
2. Simplified procedures for domestic manufacturers:
In the simplified procedure, the applicant submits a test report of the sample and a BIS certification application from a BIS approved laboratory. If the test report is satisfactory, the BIS official will verify the factory premises. BIS certification is granted if the BIS official's verification is satisfactory. Under this approach, it is expected that the license will receive the required documentation and test report within 30 days of submitting the BIS certification application.
3. Tatkal plan:
Manufacturers who are required by the government to mandate BIS standard markings may obtain BIS licenses under the tatkal program. According to the tatkal plan, the application is processed within a strict time, and the total processing time is specified as 30 days. In addition, applications received under the Tatkal program will be prioritized to comply with strict time specifications.

The BIS license for eco-friendly products is awarded in a separate program from the normal BIS certification process. Environmentally friendly products should meet the additional requirements set out in the Indian Standards in order to qualify for the ECO Mark.
