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.

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.
