Registration for Self Declaration - Conformity to Indian Standards - Domestic & Foreign Manufacturers

Government of India has notified a Registration Scheme under which manufacturers will be allowed to self declare conformity to Indian Standards. Indian standards for which conformity can be declared will be notified by the Government from time to time. The registration will be voluntary, but in public interest registration can be made compulsory for any Indian standard. The scheme will be jointly administered by Bureau of Indian Standards and Central Government.

Details of the scheme are given in BIS Rules, Chapter IVA.

If you read the details you will be shocked as this scheme, if launched, will kill the existing Product Certification Scheme, the biggest revenue earner for BIS.
