The BIS certificate for steel imports is a mandatory certification issued by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) that ensures imported steel products meet Indian quality, safety, and performance standards. Under the Indian legal framework, certain steel products require compulsory BIS certification before they can be imported, sold, or used in India. This certification confirms that the steel conforms to the relevant Indian Standard (IS) specifications, which cover aspects like chemical composition, mechanical properties, manufacturing processes, and testing methods.
The process involves submitting an application to BIS, accompanied by necessary documents, including product details, test reports from BIS-recognized laboratories, and a factory inspection report. Once approved, BIS issues a license that permits the importer to affix the ISI mark on the steel products, signifying compliance with Indian standards.
Steel products commonly requiring BIS certification include structural steel, stainless steel, alloy steel, steel tubes, and other finished steel goods. Importers must ensure compliance to avoid penalties, customs clearance delays, or product confiscation.
Consultancy firms like ERCS Private Limited assist importers with the BIS certification process by providing guidance on documentation, sample testing, factory inspections, and application submissions.
