The government has issued a Quality Control Order (QCO) for Vinyl Acetate Monomer (IS 12345). The start date is not fixed yet. When the order starts, the ISI mark will be compulsory. Apply early, because labs get busy close to the date.

How it works: a BIS-approved lab tests your samples against IS 12345. A BIS officer then visits your factory. If everything is in order, BIS gives you a licence. You can then print the ISI mark with your licence number (CM/L number). Factories outside India apply under the Foreign Manufacturers Certification Scheme (FMCS). They must also name a representative in India, called an Authorised Indian Representative (AIR).

Every year you pay BIS a minimum marking fee. It is ₹28,400 for micro firms and ₹1,42,000 for large firms. The fee also depends on how much you make: ₹9.80 per tonne. You pay whichever amount is higher. These prices are a guide only and do not include GST.
