Mastering ISI Registration for Quality Products and Regulatory Compliance.pdfPranshuCorpseed
ISI registration, also known as Indian Standards Institution registration, is a certification process that ensures the quality, safety, and reliability of products manufactured in India.
Understanding The Indian Standards Institution (ISI) Certification Process.pdfPranshuCorpseed
The ISI certification, governed by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS), is a mark of conformity to Indian standards and specifications. It signifies that a product has undergone rigorous testing and evaluation to ensure compliance with prescribed quality, safety, and performance parameters. With its roots tracing back to the Indian Standards Institution founded in 1947, ISI certification embodies India's commitment to quality assurance and consumer protection.
This issue deep dives into legal provisions and certain ambiguities and complexities in India’s legal framework on the BIS front. The article also then goes onto discussing potential ways in which companies can navigate these complications.
Navigating the Path to BIS Registration & Certification in IndiaPranshuCorpseed
The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) plays a pivotal role in ensuring the quality and safety of products circulating in the market. BIS registration and certification are essential components of this regulatory framework, aiming to uphold standards and protect consumer interests.
How to Perform a Successful Internal Quality AuditGreenlight Guru
You already know internal quality audits are required by both FDA 21 CFR Part 820 and ISO 13485.
You also probably already know they are a big hassle to conduct.
What you might not know is that they are one of the most powerful weapons at your disposal for preventing 483's and observations.
Why?
Because they are one of the most effective and efficient ways to make sure you and your team are always prepared if FDA or NB decided to show up unexpectedly.
So how do you “establish” the right procedures? How do you ensure your auditor is competent and properly qualified? And what do you do if you find non-conformances?
View this presentation by our guest Kyle Rose, President at Rook Quality Systems, where you will find the answers to all those questions and more.
Specifically, you will learn:
- How to conduct an effective internal quality audit based on process identification, sampling and questioning
- How to plan a internal quality audit and develop an audit schedule
- How to find and use competent and qualified auditors
- Why certain auditors shouldn’t audit certain areas
- How to properly report the findings of your internal quality audit
- How to concisely document non-conformances
- How to determine what needs corrective actions and how to follow up on them
Product certification or product qualification is the process of certifying that a certain
product has passed performance tests and quality assurance tests, and meets
qualification criteria stipulated in contracts, regulations, or specifications (sometimes
called "certification schemes" in the product certification industry).
Most product certification bodies (or product certifiers) are accredited to or aligned with
ISO/IEC 17065 Conformity assessment -- Requirements for bodies certifying products,
processes and services (previously ISO/IEC Guide 65:1996) an international standard
for ensuring competence in those organizations performing product, process and service
certifications. The organizations that perform this accreditation are called Accreditation
Bodies, and they themselves are assessed by international peers against the ISO 17011
standard. In India Product certification is being monitored by BUREAU OF INDIAN
STANDARDS.
Examples of some certification schemes include the Safety Equipment Institute for
protective headgear, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
Telecommunication Certification Body (TCB) program for radio communication devices,
the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Energy Star program, the International
Commission on the Rules for the Approval of Electrical Equipment Product Safety
Certification Body Scheme (IEECE CB Scheme), MAS (Materials Analytical Services)
Certified Green IEQ program, and the Greenguard Environmental Institute Indoor Air
Quality program. Certification schemes are typically written to include both the
performance test methods that the product must be tested to, as well as the criteria that
the product must meet to become Certified.

Hamdard Laboratories (India), is a Unani pharmaceutical company in India (following the independence of India from Britain, "Hamdard" Unani branches were established in Bangladesh (erstwhile East Pakistan) and Pakistan). It was established in 1906 by Hakeem Hafiz Abdul Majeed in Delhi, and became
a waqf (non-profitable trust) in 1948. It is associated with Hamdard Foundation, a charitable educational trust.
Hamdard' is a compound word derived from Persian, which combines the words 'hum' (used in the sense of 'companion') and 'dard' (meaning 'pain'). 'Hamdard' thus means 'a companion in pain' and 'sympathizer in suffering'.
The goals of Hamdard were lofty; easing the suffering of the sick with healing herbs. With a simple tenet that no one has ever become poor by giving, Hakeem Abdul Majeed let the whole world find compassion in him.
They had always maintained that working in old, traditional ways would not be entirely fruitful. A broader outlook was essential for a continued and meaningful existence. their effective team at Hamdard helped the system gain its pride of place and thus they made an entry into an expansive world of discovery and research.
Hamdard Laboratories was founded in 1906 in Delhi by Hakeem Hafiz Abdul Majeed and Ansarullah Tabani, a Unani practitioner. The name Hamdard means "companion in suffering" in Urdu language.(itself borrowed from Persian) Hakim Hafiz Abdul Majeed was born in Pilibhit City UP, India in 1883 to Sheikh Rahim Bakhsh. He is said to have learnt the complete Quran Sharif by heart. He also studied the origin of Urdu and Persian languages. Subsequently, he acquired the highest degree in the unani system of medicine.
Hakim Hafiz Abdul Majeed got in touch with Hakim Zamal Khan, who had a keen interest in herbs and was famous for identifying medicinal plants. Having consulted with his wife, Abdul Majeed set up a herbal shop at Hauz Qazi in Delhi in 1906 and started to produce herbal medicine there. In 1920 the small herbal shop turned into a full-fledged production house.
Hamdard Foundation was created in 1964 to disburse the profits of the company to promote the interests of the society. All the profits of the company go to the foundation.
After Abdul Majeed's death, his son Hakeem Abdul Hameed took over the administration of Hamdard Laboratories at the age of fourteen.
Even with humble beginnings, the goals of Hamdard were lofty; easing the suffering of the sick with healing herbs. With a simple tenet that no one has ever become poor by giving, Hakeem Abdul Majeed let the whole world find compassion in him. Unfortunately, he passed away quite early but his wife, Rabia Begum, with the support of her son, Hakeem Abdul Hameed, not only kept the institution in existence but also expanded it. As he grew up, Hakeem Abdul Hameed took on all responsibilities. After helping with his younger brother's upbringing and education, he included him in running the institution. Both brothers Hakeem Abdul Hameed and Hakim Mohammed

6. • Product Certification
• The Bureau of Indian Standards, empowered through an Act of the
Indian Parliament, known as the Bureau of Indian Standards Act,
1986, operates a product certification scheme by which it grants
licences to manufacturers covering practically every industrial
discipline from Agriculture to Textiles to Electronics.
