BIS Registration for Water Coolers | Process, Fees, Documents

Updated on January 08, 2026 01:26:16 PM

BIS Registration is the process of obtaining a license from the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) for water coolers that meet Indian Standards. BIS, the National Standards Body of India, was established under the Bureau of Indian Standards Act, 2016, and functions under the Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Food & Public Distribution, Government of India. BIS undertakes activities such as Standards Formulation, Product Certification, Testing, Training Services, Hallmarking, Laboratory Services, Calibration Schemes, and more. BIS registration ensures independent assurance of the safety, quality, and reliability of water cooler products. It is often referred to as ISI certification.

The Bureau of Indian Standards grants licenses to manufacturers for water coolers listed under BIS's voluntary and mandatory certification programs. After obtaining the license, manufacturers can use the standard BIS marking on their products. While BIS registration is optional for some products, it is mandatory for specific categories to protect public health, the environment, national security, and to prevent unfair trade practices.

BIS Registration, also known as substantial quality assurance compliance, is especially important for water coolers, ensuring that they meet the required safety and quality benchmarks. This page provides complete information regarding BIS registration for water cooler products.

What is BIS Registration?

The BIS ISI Registration Certificate is issued by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) to manufacturers whose water coolers comply with specified Indian Standards (IS codes). This certification is mandatory for water coolers under the Quality Control Orders (QCOs) and ensures safety, quality, and compliance with regulations.

Water coolers that fall under the QCOs cannot be manufactured, imported, distributed, or sold without a valid ISI mark. Having the BIS ISI mark not only demonstrates legal compliance but also builds customer trust and enhances brand reputation.

For foreign manufacturers, BIS operates the Foreign Manufacturers Certification (FMCS) Scheme and Scheme X. These schemes allow non-Indian companies to obtain BIS licenses and market ISI-marked water coolers through an Authorized Indian Representative (AIR), ensuring international businesses also meet regulatory standards.
