At Snehyam QMS, we provide comprehensive consultancy and technical support for BIS FMCS (Foreign Manufacturers Certification Scheme), enabling overseas manufacturers to access the Indian market with full compliance and confidence.
The FMCS is governed by the Bureau of Indian Standards and is mandatory for foreign manufacturers whose products fall under the ISI Mark certification scheme. Under this scheme, manufacturers are granted a license to use the BIS Standard Mark (ISI Mark) on their products after successful evaluation.
