In today's ever-changing world, reliable and safe footwear is essential. Ensuring that multi-purpose footwear meets stringent quality and safety standards is essential to protect consumers and maintain market confidence. The Institute of Indian Standards (BIS) has formulated safety standards covering various aspects of design, material and performance, and defines specifications for general-purpose footwear for formal, semi-formal, casual and other general uses.
BIS standards establish a comprehensive framework covering various quality parameters that footwear must meet. To ensure the quality, safety and reliability of footwear sold in the Indian market, it is mandatory for manufacturers to obtain BIS certification for footwear. BIS certification protects the interest of consumers by establishing strict standards and guidelines that a product must meet to be considered compliant. The BIS certification program covers a wide range of footwear including safety shoes, leisure shoes, sports shoes, derby shoes, canvas shoes, leather shoes and rubber shoes.
One of the most important provisions of this regulation is that a BIS license is required to import footwear into India. The BIS department also grants BIS registration for footwear to foreign manufacturers (except Chinese manufacturers) under the Foreign Manufacturers Certification Scheme (FMCS). This means that obtaining a BIS license is a complex and lengthy process for any company, involving several critical steps like developing the footwear as per relevant Indian standards, preparing documentation, and verifying the manufacturer's competence in manufacturing and testing the footwear.
