Overview of BIS Registration & Certification in Kolkata, West Bengal
West Bengal is Eastern India's manufacturing backbone—with heavy steel mills, plastic processors, chemical plants, cable manufacturers, food processing industries, and consumer electronics distributors spread across Kolkata, Howrah, Hooghly, Durgapur, Asansol, and Siliguri. Under mandatory Quality Control Orders (QCOs) issued by various Ministries of the Government of India, selling, importing, or distributing products notified under compulsory BIS list without a valid ISI Mark or BIS CRS Registration is a punishable criminal offense under the BIS Act, 2016.
The Bureau of Indian Standards operates through its Manakonline portal (`manakonline.in`) and the BIS Eastern Regional Office / Kolkata Branch Offices in Salt Lake Sector V and Kankurgachi, Kolkata. Domestic manufacturers must establish in-house testing laboratory equipment according to the relevant Indian Standard (IS), file technical applications online, undergo factory audit inspection by BIS officers, and pass sample testing in accredited laboratories before the Standard Mark License is granted.
