India
India‘s giant domestic market comprises almost 1.4 billion people and has developed into one of the most promising markets for manufacturers worldwide in recent years. India’s protectionist economic policy regularly manifests itself in non-transparent industrial regulations and complicated approval procedures.
By international comparison, India’s certification processes are often more complicated due to the diversity of regulations and requirements. The numerous and sometimes overlapping Indian authorities and Indian Standards (IS) are regarded as notoriously complicated and only recently have efforts been made to consolidate them.
Successful certification in India requires clear communication with the national authorities, and additional special requirements must be frequently met after the application has been submitted. An authorized local representative is often required (Authorized Indian Representative also known as “AIR”), and it is not uncommon for an additional factory audit at the production site to be required by the authorities. All documents must be thoroughly prepared and regulatory changes must be tracked and implemented independently. Errors are strictly penalized by the local authorities and may even lead to the temporary or permanent loss of valid certifications. Existing certifications according to international standards are not recognized.
