BIS CERTIFICATION ( Scheme - X )

The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) launched “Scheme X” on March 16, 2022. Its main objective is to enable Indian and foreign manufacturers to get all types of assemblies/sub-assemblies/machine tools under Schedule-II, Scheme-X certified with BIS mark before selling them in the Indian market.

BIS allows obtaining license or Certificate of Conformity (CoC) for low voltage switchgear and control gear, Machinery, and Electrical equipment, under Scheme-X which allows manufacturers to use BIS Standard Mark on their products.

Scheme X is a product certification scheme introduced under the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) Conformity Assessment Regulations, 2018, which was further refined by the BIS Conformity Assessment (Amendment) Regulations, 2022. Its main objective is to align Indian safety standards with global norms. Under this, machinery and electrical equipment manufactured or imported in India are certified under Scheme-X to meet the requirements of stringent technical and safety standards.

The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) is authorised agency for providing BIS certification for products falling under Scheme X. The BIS Standard Mark or BIS Scheme X Certification Mark consists of the license number of the product indicated at the bottom as 'CM/L-XXXXXXXXXX' while the standard number is indicated at the top of the mark.

This mark is provided by the Bureau of Indian Standards only after the successful grant of BIS Licence. Every manufacturer must comply with the Indian Standards norms and market their product with a valid BIS Mark. Without a BIS Licence, it is a punishable offence to mark any product with a license number as 'CM/L-XXXXXXXXXXXX' and sell it in the Indian consumer market
