The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) serves as the official National Standard Body which represents India. The organization functions under the authority of the Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Food & Public Distribution.

  • Certification: The organization offers multiple certifications which include FMCS certification for foreign manufacturers to verify that products sold in India satisfy particular health and environmental requirements. In a medical firm, BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards) holds two essential functions which include protecting the safety of essential medical equipment and fulfilling the legal standards required for entering the Indian market. The Indian government has expanded its list of medical devices which require BIS standards compliance to 2026 because it needs to match international safety standards from IEC and ISO.

Who needs BIS in a Medical Firm?

  • Manufacturers and importers need BIS approval to export medical electronics which include ventilators and MRI machines to hospitals.
  • Quality Assurance (QA) Teams will protect products from failures and electric shock hazards to patients through their use of BIS guidelines which contain $IS$ standards.
  • Procurement Officers: Most government and large private hospitals will only buy equipment that carries the ISI mark or BIS registration.
