Fire Survival Cables and Solar DC Cables’ BIS certification guarantees compliance with Indian quality and safety criteria. Fire Survival Cables follow IS 17505, IS 7098, or IS 1554, depending on the kind; Solar DC Cables must follow IS 7098, or IS 604. Online application via Manakonline, in-house lab setup, BIS inspection, sample testing in a NABL-accredited lab, and final approval comprise the process. Manufacturers who pass get an ISI mark licence or CRS registration, which lets them legally market approved cables in India. Frequent audits guarantee ongoing BIS standards’ compliance.
