Applications and payments are accepted exclusively through the BIS online portal, www.manakonline.in.

2. Application Review: BIS will review the application, noting any deficiencies and requesting clarifications if needed. Once clarifications are deemed satisfactory, the application is accepted.
3. Application Number: Upon acceptance, an application number is issued for future reference.
4. Inspection Fee Payment: When a BIS Inspecting Officer is assigned, the visit fee is paid via NEFT/RTGS, with payment proof uploaded to the portal.
5. Verification Visit: During the visit, the officer reviews all submitted documentation for authenticity.
6. Factory Tour: The officer inspects manufacturing and testing facilities, ensuring they align with the declared processes.
7. Lab Equipment Check: The QA/QC lab’s test equipment is reviewed for proper operation and calibration status.
8. QA/QC Staff Assessment: The officer verifies the qualifications and competence of QA/QC personnel, checking their Qualification documents.
9. Sample Testing: The officer collects product samples from the stockyard and conducts factory testing as per Indian Standard. If the sample passes, a second sample be drawn from another lot is sealed and ask the firm to dispatch to a BIS recognize independent lab for further testing.
10. Final License Approval: Upon receiving and approving the lab test report, BIS processes the application. The applicant submits advance marking fee payment, accepts the Scheme of Inspection and Testing, and agrees to BIS license terms and conditions. The license is then granted, allowing the firm to apply the ISI mark on the certified product, which may be dispatched to market.
