There is no Quality Control Order (QCO) for Hair Oils today. This means the ISI mark for IS 7123 is optional. Many makers still get it, because government tenders, large buyers and online marketplaces often ask for it.
How it works: a BIS-approved lab tests your samples against IS 7123. 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 ₹9,306 for micro firms and ₹46,530 for large firms. The fee also depends on how much you make: ₹60 per 100 litres. You pay whichever amount is higher. Lab testing costs about ₹3,200 per sample, based on quotes from one BIS-approved lab. These prices are a guide only and do not include GST.

How much does testing for IS 7123 cost?
Lab charges are usually ₹3,200 per sample. This is based on quotes from one BIS-approved lab. The final price depends on your model, its versions and the tests needed.
What is the HSN code for Hair Oils?
It usually comes under HSN 33059011. Check the code on your bill of entry, because customs decides the code for the exact product.
Can a foreign manufacturer get the ISI mark?
Yes. 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). The licence is in the name of the factory. Once the product is mandatory, importers cannot clear the goods at customs without it.

Factories in India usually get a licence 30 to 60 days after a good test report. Factories outside India (FMCS) should plan for four to six months, including the factory visit.
