BIS FMCS Sample
Preparation: First and foremost the manufacturing firm must make certain that all the kitchen appliances conform to the standards of the Bureau Of Indian Standards as well as prepare all the required documents needed to be submitted during the process.
Registration Form: To receive an FMCS license, they must enroll themselves and pay the registration fee. The firm can apply offline at the FMCD department in Delhi and online at the BIS website by submitting the necessary documentation. The manufacturer is accountable for filling in the accurate and complete details.
Issue Raised (if any): The BIS authorities notify the manufacturer by email if any information is incomplete or incorrect. If authorities don’t find any issues in the application form, the application is considered and an application number is allotted to the applicant.
Nomination of AIR: The manufacturer must designate an authorized Indian representative (AIR) who meets the requirements to represent the company before the Indian BIS authorities. An AIR must reside in India and be well-versed in government institutions, policies, and organizations.
Factory Audit: The manufacturer is obligated to pay an audit fee. The BIS representatives visit the factory to examine the infrastructure, equipment, production process, product quality, etc.
Product Sample: BIS representatives collect a sample of the appliances to assess their performance, dependability, quality, and safety standards. The sample is assessed at BIS-approved laboratories to gain a better understanding of compliance.
Laboratory Results: The license-issuing process is terminated if the laboratory reports are unfavorable and reveal that the appliances do not adhere to BIS criteria. However, if the test reports are successful and demonstrate that they meet BIS criteria, the procedure for granting an FMCS license proceeds.
Issuance of Certification: The FMCS license fee as well as the advance minimum marking cost must be paid by the manufacturer. The organization receives an FMCS license if the fees are paid and the aforementioned steps are followed.
Indemnity Bond and PBG: The manufacturer has to sign an indemnity bond with the BIS authorities. Along with that, the manufacturer has to pay USD 10,000 as Performance Bank Guarantee.
Initial certification of the FMCS license is good for two years. After that, the manufacturer is required to pay a renewal fee to keep their FMCS license active. After the license renewal cost has been successfully paid, a renewed certificate is issued. A renewed certificate's validity duration ranges from one year to five years. If the certification is renewed after the initial certification's expiration date, the BIS representatives will charge the producer a late fee of Rs 5,000.

They've been very helpful in our registration with ICEGATE. It was a small thing with a small amount paid which somehow escalated to a very painful procedure. Never did they say "You've only paid so much. It's too much effort for us.".
Very pleased with their service. Prompt, professional and great communication. Definitely recommend. Special mention for Ms. Razia - she handled our case.
Professional Utilities is fully professional in their work, Rates are too low and genuine. Services and satisfaction are high so I highly recommended Professional Utilities.
They are one of the most genuine and reasonable people. I applied for lmpc certificate through them and they charged me a very nominal amount as compared to what other firms asked .
