Hyderabad is among the top industrial centers in India and has a wide range of engineering firms, electrical firms, machinery firms, chemical firms, medical devices and advanced manufacturing companies. Foreign firms wishing to supply products regulated in India need to carry out an analysis of the relevant Indian standards and Quality Control Orders (QCOs). In some instances, BIS certification India becomes compulsory before importing.
The FMCS certification scheme allows qualifying foreign companies to acquire a BIS license by fulfilling all requirements related to the conformity with the relevant Indian standard and undergoing product testing and factory assessment procedures. For firms that intend to enter the market, professional assistance can help streamline the process of BIS licensing and certification. SKMC Global offers complete BIS certification services in Hyderabad for foreign firms.
