VoluntaryMachinery, Tools & Instruments

BIS ISI mark (Scheme-I)

IS 5604

Minimum marking fee per year: ₹9,200 – ₹46,000; Micro to large firms
HSN code: 84251100; Check the code with customs

There is no Quality Control Order (QCO) for Hand-operated Universal Gearless Pulling and Lifting Machines today. This means the ISI mark for IS 5604 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 5604. 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 ₹9,200 for micro firms and ₹46,000 for large firms. The fee also depends on how much you make: ₹17.30 per piece. You pay whichever amount is higher. These prices are a guide only and do not include GST.
