There is no Quality Control Order (QCO) for Hexagon Socket Head Cap Screws today. This means the ISI mark for IS 2269 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 2269. 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 ₹20,400 for micro firms and ₹1,02,000 for large firms. The fee also depends on how much you make: ₹17 per tonne. You pay whichever amount is higher. Lab testing costs about ₹25,000 per sample, based on quotes from 2 BIS-approved labs. These prices are a guide only and do not include GST.
