The introduction of new Quality Control Orders (QCOs) now mandates BIS certification for a wide range of copper and steel products, affecting both domestic and international manufacturers.
ERCS Private Limited has emerged as a trusted leader in BIS certification services. With deep expertise in regulatory compliance and certification, the company has successfully assisted over 1,000 manufacturers worldwide, ensuring they stay compliant and competitive in the Indian market.
The Indian government now requires BIS certification for steel, copper (IS 191), tin ingots, primary lead, refined zinc, and refined nickel. These new standards are designed to enhance the consistency and reliability of chemical compositions and mechanical properties across product batches.
Obtaining BIS certification for copper and steel products involves thorough documentation, testing at BIS-accredited labs, and factory inspections. While these steps are crucial for maintaining public safety and product quality, navigating the regulatory landscape can be challenging for those unfamiliar with the process, especially given the recent changes in India’s certification framework.
ERCS’s extensive experience in handling BIS certifications and other regulatory approvals positions international manufacturers to tap into India’s growing market, helping them manage both opportunities and challenges effectively.
According to Vipin Shukla, Director of ERCS, the company’s approach goes beyond just documentation. “We educate, guide, and simplify the process for manufacturers, enabling them to stay focused on their production and market strategies while ensuring certification compliance.”
India is setting new global benchmarks for product compliance. Copper and steel products, vital for high-conductivity applications like transformers, motors, and wiring, are now subject to stringent regulations. ERCS acts as a bridge, helping global manufacturers secure BIS certification for their products in India.
Vipin Shukla further emphasizes, “Our goal is not just to manage certifications for our clients but also to keep them informed about changes in QCOs, updates to BIS standards, and other policy shifts that could affect their business. What sets us apart is our role as a trusted knowledge partner.” ERCS’s proactive approach allows its clients to stay ahead of regulatory changes and maintain a competitive edge in the market.
ERCS operates globally, assisting both Indian and international brands with BIS certification for copper and steel products. With a multilingual team, 24/7 documentation support, and specialized country-specific compliance assistance, ERCS has become the go-to certification partner for exporters to India. Their website also serves as a knowledge hub, offering templates, checklists, and the latest updates on QCOs.
In addition to copper, steel, tin, lead, zinc, and nickel, ERCS Private Limited also provides services for WPC ETA Certification, CRS Registration, BEE Star Labeling, and EPR Authorization. By specializing in these certifications and simplifying complex regulatory processes, ERCS helps manufacturers accelerate their market entry, reduce risks, and focus on producing high-quality products for the global market.
