                          Step 7: Factory Inspection<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

                          Where required, BIS officials may inspect the manufacturing facility.<\/p>\n

                          The inspection may verify:<\/p>\n

                            \n

                            Step 8: Technical Evaluation<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

                            BIS evaluates the application, test reports and inspection findings.<\/p>\n

                            If observations are raised, the manufacturer may need to provide clarification or corrective action.<\/p>\n

                            \n

                            Step 9: Grant of BIS Licence<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

                            After successful completion of applicable requirements, BIS may grant the licence to the eligible manufacturer.<\/p>\n

                            The manufacturer must then comply with the applicable requirements for using the BIS Standard Mark.<\/p>\n

                            \n

                            Step 10: Ongoing Compliance<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

                            After certification, manufacturers should maintain:<\/p>\n

                              \n
                            • Consistent product quality<\/li>\n
