Foreign Manufacturers Certification Scheme (FMCS)
BIS FMCS Certification in India (Foreign Manufacturers Certification Scheme) is a mandatory compliance requirement for foreign manufacturers who want to export products to India. The FMCS registration allows overseas manufacturers to obtain BIS certification and use the ISI Mark under Indian standards. This certification is essential for market entry into India and ensures compliance with Indian product certification requirements for foreign companies. Whether you are dealing in electronics, steel, machinery, or industrial products, FMCS approval is required for customs clearance and legal sales in India. FMCS (Foreign Manufacturers Certification Scheme) is a certification scheme regulated by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) under Scheme-I of Schedule-II of the Conformity Assessment Regulations, 2018, and the BIS Act, 2016. This scheme allows manufacturers located outside India to obtain a BIS license for the use of the ISI Mark on products that conform to applicable Indian Standards.
FMCS is the overseas extension of the ISI Certification Scheme under Scheme-I, applicable to manufacturers located outside India, as it ensures uniform compliance across both foreign and Indian-made products. For many products notified under Quality Control Orders (QCOs), FMCS certification is mandatory for import clearance in India. Under this scheme, foreign manufacturers are required to appoint an Authorized Indian Representative (AIR) who acts as a local point of contact for BIS and is responsible for regulatory coordination and legal compliance. AN Global Services provides end-to-end assistance in FMCS certification, including AIR support and liaison with BIS authorities.
