For this, the manufacturer has to assemble all the documents required during the registration process.

Essentially, the manufacturer has to accept all the Terms and Conditions of BIS.

One such factor is that BIS authorities visit the factory premises to examine the entire process of production that occurs in the factory. BIS authorities assess the factory location, efficiency of machinery used, quality control parameters, manufacturing process, etc.

Product Sample: BIS authorities collect the sample of Electrical Transformers to assess their quality, efficiency, reliability, and safety standards. The sample is assessed at the In-house laboratory as well as at the BIS-approved laboratory for a better understanding of the compliance.

Laboratory Results: If the laboratory results are negative which means that the electrical transformer is not in compliance with the BIS standards, the process of granting a license is terminated. However, if the laboratory results are positive which means that the electrical transformer complies with the BIS standards, the process of granting an FMCS license progresses further.
