Most makers ask the same three questions before they start BIS registration: What papers do I need? How much will it cost? How long will it take? This guide answers all three for cylindrical rollers, in very simple words, so you can plan your budget and your time with confidence.

Who Needs to Register?

First, check if you are covered. The BIS Scope for Cylindrical Rollers for Rolling Bearings includes rollers made in India and rollers imported for sale in India. Makers, importers, brand owners and sellers should all watch this rule. Rollers made only for export are usually left out, and so are small imports for research, up to 200 pieces a year, under the draft order.

Read the Guide Before You Apply

Many applications get delayed because the maker did not read the rules properly. The BIS Product Manual for Cylindrical Rollers for Rolling Bearings explains how samples are picked, which tests are needed and how marking is done. A short reading now can save weeks later.

Documents You Need

Keep your papers ready in groups. It makes the work much easier.

Basic details

• GST certificate
• Email ID and contact number
• Factory and office address proof
• Rent or lease agreement, if it applies
• Partnership deed, if you are a partnership firm

Factory and machines

• List of machines
• Process flow chart
• Factory layout plan

Testing and quality

• List of testing equipment
• Calibration certificates
• Appointment letter of the quality or lab in-charge, with qualification

Raw material

• List of raw materials and supplier details
• Purchase invoices
• Test certificates of the steel

Production and packing

• Yearly installed capacity and last year production value
• Quantity per pack and type of packing
• How and where the marking will be done

Brand and other papers

• Trademark or brand certificate
• Consent letter from a BIS-recognized lab
• Details of top management and the person who will talk to BIS
• Weekly off details

Extra Papers for Foreign Makers

If your factory is outside India, you need a BIS Agent for Cylindrical Rollers for Rolling Bearings. This person is called an Authorized Indian Representative, or AIR. You will also need:

• A signed agreement with the AIR
• The AIR nomination form
• The AIR's identity proof
• Required undertakings
• Scope of the license

Government Fees

These are the main BIS fees for an Indian manufacturer:

• Application fee: INR 1,000
• Audit charges: INR 7,000
• License fee: INR 1,000

For a foreign manufacturer, the main fees are USD 15 for the application, USD 3,200 to USD 5,900 for the audit and USD 15 for the license. The audit amount depends on the country. The application fee for foreign makers is paid by SWIFT.

Other Costs to Keep in Mind

• Testing charges: paid directly to the BIS-recognized lab
• Marking fee: depends on your product and yearly production, and small units may get some benefits
• Consultant fee: depends on the product and the factory location

Fees can change, so always check the latest BIS rates before you plan your budget.

How Long Does It Take?

BIS does not give one fixed date for every case. The time depends on how ready you are. These things decide your speed:

• How fast you collect and submit the papers
• How soon the lab tests your samples
• Whether any sample fails and needs a retest
• When BIS can visit your factory
• How quickly you answer any question from BIS

The steps always follow the same order: registration on the BIS Manak portal, sample testing, application, factory inspection, grant of license and then use of the ISI Mark. If your papers and factory are ready on day one, the whole journey becomes smoother.

Also remember the deadline in the draft order. Medium and large units get 12 months, small units get 15 months and micro units get 18 months. Because it was a draft when we checked, please read the final notice. Do not wait for the last month, because testing and inspection take time.

Validity and Renewal

A license is usually first given for 1 to 2 years. You must renew it before it ends, with the fee and updated papers. BIS may also visit your factory again and pick samples from the market. If samples fail or the rules are broken, the license can be suspended or cancelled.

Quick Tips

• Make one folder for all papers and keep scanned copies
• Check that names and addresses match on every document
• Keep calibration certificates up to date
• Test a few samples in your own lab before sending them out
