Transparent answers from our senior regulatory compliance engineers regarding official BIS fees, lab protocols, and factory auditing.
Statutory integrity is our core mandate. Official BIS fees (application, man-day factory inspection, and minimum marking fees) are non-negotiable government dues paid directly on the Manakonline portal. Bundling them into an opaque single fee creates confusion. We itemize official government charges, independent laboratory fees, and Adequs consulting transparently.
Under Bureau of Indian Standards circulars, valid Udyam-registered Micro enterprises receive a 50% concession on minimum marking fees and application fees. Small enterprises and DPIIT-recognized Startups receive a 20% concession. Large enterprises pay standard gazette fees.
Under Option 1 (Normal Route), the BIS Inspecting Officer visits the factory first, inspects the in-house lab, and officially draws samples for testing at a designated lab. Under Option 2 (Simplified Route), the applicant tests samples at a BIS-recognized lab beforehand and submits conforming test reports along with the application, allowing faster grant of licence.
The STI is a statutory document issued by BIS specifying the minimum frequency of testing, sampling size, and records that a manufacturer must maintain inside the plant for every batch produced. Adequs assists factories in setting up the required test equipment and log registers to ensure 100% compliance during official audits.
