FMCS Licensing & Ongoing Support – Everything You Need to Know

Expanding your global brand into India? Then you’ve probably heard of the BIS FMCS License — a mandatory certification for foreign manufacturers looking to sell their products in the Indian market. But what exactly is FMCS? And why do so many international brands struggle with it? What is FMCS? FMCS stands for Foreign Manufacturers Certification Scheme, operated by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). It allows non-Indian manufacturers to certify their products according to Indian quality and safety standards. This license is mandatory for certain product categories — from electronics and appliances to industrial equipment. The Challenges Foreign Brands Face The FMCS process isn’t just about submitting a form. It involves: Appointing an Indian Authorized Representative (IAR) Sending product samples to BIS-approved Indian labs Coordinating with authorities for document reviews Hosting factory inspections by BIS officers Ensuring compliance during surveillance audits every year For someone unfamiliar with India’s regulatory system, it’s easy to get lost — or delayed.
