How to Verify a BIS Certificate: Step-by-Step Online Check
Verifying a BIS certificate takes 2 minutes online and should be standard practice for any buyer sourcing BIS-certified products.
Verifying BIS CRS R-Numbers
- Go to www.crsbis.in or www.manakonline.in
- Navigate to Verify Registration
- Enter the R-number from the certificate
- Confirm: registrant name matches supplier? Product description matches? Status = Active? Expiry date is future?
Verifying ISI Mark CM/L Numbers
Check through BIS portal at manakonline.in under Product Certification. Enter the CM/L number to verify licence status and products covered.
Red Flags That Signal a Fake Certificate
- R-number not found in portal
- Registered to a different company than your supplier
- Product description doesn't match what you're buying
- Status shows Expired or Suspended
- Certificate appearance looks modified or different from standard format
Best Practice for Procurement
Make BIS certificate verification a mandatory step in supplier qualification and each purchase order. Maintain a log of verified R-numbers with expiry dates. Re-verify at each renewal cycle. This protects your business from compliance liability for products you purchase with invalid certifications.
