At Octagona India Private Limited, we specialize in helping manufacturers and their partners navigate the complex landscape of Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) regulations. Our team of experienced professionals offers end-to-end support for BIS certification, regulatory updates, product investigation analyses, and compliance assistance so that your products are compliant, competitive, and market ready in India.
The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) is India's National Standards Body responsible for the formulation and enforcement of quality and safety standards across a wide range of products. Many products—especially mechanical parts, chemicals, toys, furniture, footwear, electronics, IT equipment, and consumer goods—require BIS certification under Indian law before they can be sold or imported into the Indian market.
Obtaining BIS certification demonstrates product quality and safety compliance, builds customer trust and brand credibility, avoids regulatory penalties, customs impoundment, or market delays, and enhances competitiveness in both domestic and export markets. Non-compliance, on the other hand, can result in shipment holds, legal penalties, fines, and reputational damage.
That's where Octagona India steps in—your hands-on partner in BIS certification and compliance.
We provide a comprehensive suite of services tailored to your product category and regulatory obligations:
Our team guides you through every step of the BIS certification process, including assessing whether your product requires mandatory certification, identifying applicable schemes and Indian Standards (IS), preparing and tracking applications, and coordinating with BIS officials for audits. We ensure your documentation and product compliance are aligned with BIS norms.
Regulatory frameworks evolve, and new product categories are frequently added to the mandatory list. Octagona India monitors all BIS-related notifications, amendments, new regulatory mandates, and changes to Indian Standards on your behalf. We keep your team informed through timely alerts and action plans so that you are never caught off-guard.
Before applying for certification, we conduct in-depth product investigations. This includes technical assessment against relevant IS standards, gap analysis of product specifications, recommendations for corrective action, and pre-audit preparation to reduce risk and avoid costly rework.
Many BIS certification pathways require product testing at BIS-accredited laboratories. We assist in coordinating sample submission, testing schedules, evaluating test reports for compliance assurance, and assisting in retesting or corrective measures when needed.
For importers, BIS compliance is indispensable at customs clearance. We support pre-import checks, Harmonized System (HS) code evaluation, preparation of Self-Declaration of Conformity (SDoC) documents, and liaison with customs officials to facilitate smooth clearance.
Choosing Octagona India means choosing a partner that understands BIS processes inside out, maintains direct liaison with regulators and labs, provides strategic advisory, and saves you time, effort, and compliance risk.
