SCHEME OF INSPECTION AND TESTING

1. QUALITY ASSURANCE PLAN

1.1 It is expected that manufacturers (licensees/applicants) will implement a Quality Assurance Plan
i.e. a plan of regular testing and in-process controls, designed to ensure that the product bearing the
Standard Mark conforms to all requirements of the Indian Standard.

1.2 The manufacturers shall define a Quality Assurance Plan defining the control unit (i.e. lot/batch
etc.) and the levels of control (i.e. the frequency and number of samples for conducting the different
tests as per the Indian Standard) and submit the same to BIS Branch Office for information. The
manufacturer shall comply with the same and maintain test records in accordance with para 2.4.

1.3 RECOMMENDED LEVELS OF CONTROL/CONTROL UNIT:

1.3.1 For the guidance of manufacturers, the recommended definition of control unit is : 50,000 pairs
or Fortnight production (whichever is earlier), of same variety, manufactured from the same raw material

1.3.2 For the guidance of manufacturers in preparing the Quality Assurance Plan, recommended
levels of control are given in Table 1.

1.3.3 The manufacturer shall ensure inspection and testing as per the Quality Assurance Plan
submitted by them on the whole production of the factory which is covered by this plan. Alternatively,
the manufacturer has the option of adherence to the quality plan as per levels of control
recommended in column 3 of Table 1.

1.4 However, all manufacturers shall ensure compliance of their products to all the requirements
of the Indian Standard.
2. ENSURING COMPLIANCE THROUGH TESTING- It is expected that manufacturers
(licensees/applicants) will establish a suitably equipped and staffed in house laboratory (In house
testing facility) for testing at least those parameters of the Indian Standard which require routine
testing for ensuring quality of the product. This includes in-process controls as may be defined and
put in place by the manufacturer and testing parameters/requirements which can only be
performed in the factory.

2.1 For the guidance of manufacturers, Table 1 giving the recommended levels of control is given
below. Column 2 of Table 1 indicates routine tests where test equipment is required in house as
“R” or other tests which can be subcontracted as “S”. Subcontracting is permitted to BIS
recognized/empanelled laboratory or any other laboratory having valid NABL accreditation as per
IS/ISO/IEC 17025.

2.2 For MSME manufacturers, the requirement of maintaining a laboratory/in-house testing

facility for routine tests (indicated as “R” in Column 2 of Table 1) is also optional.

2.2.1 MSME manufacturers may utilize common cluster based facilities as per guidelines for the
utilization of cluster based test facilities by MSMEs or the provisions of Sharing of testing facilities
or get testing done from BIS recognized/empaneled laboratory or any other laboratory having valid
NABL accreditation as per IS/ISO/IEC 17025.
 PM/17043 (Part 1)/4
Feb 2024

2.3 Large Scale manufacturers shall maintain an in-house laboratory equipped at least with
test facilities for routine tests (indicated as “R” in Column 2 of Table 1), where different tests
given in the specification shall be carried out in accordance with the method given in the
specification. They shall also implement a calibration plan for the in-house test equipment.
2.3.1 Alternatively, in lieu of an in-house laboratory, large scale manufacturers can also utilize the
provisions of Sharing of testing facilities as per the Guidelines for Grant of Licence available on
BIS website www.bis.gov.in. (Under Conformity Assessment>Product Certification Process).
Even for subcontracted tests, provisions for sharing of testing facilities can be utilized.

2.4 TEST RECORDS- The manufacturers maintaining an in-house laboratory or utilizing common
cluster based facilities or shared test facilities shall maintain test records for the tests carried out
to establish conformity. For the tests being subcontracted to BIS recognized/empanelled laboratory
or any other laboratory having valid NABL accreditation as per IS/ISO/IEC 17025, test reports
issued by the laboratories shall be available for inspection by BIS.

3. PACKING AND MARKING - The Standard Mark as given in the Schedule of the licence shall
be incorporated legibly and indelibly on each shoe for each pair of shoe provided always that the
material so marked conforms to each requirement of the specification.

3.1 Packing and Marking shall be done as per the Indian Standard.

3.2 Additional Marking requirements: The material shall also be marked with the following additional
requirement on (through tags/stickers or otherwise) on the package.

a) “For BIS certification details please visit www.bis.gov.in”

4. REJECTION - All the production which conforms to the Indian Standard and covered under
the scope of this licence shall be marked with the Standard Mark. Disposal of non-conforming
product shall be done in such a way so as to ensure that there is no violation of provisions of
BIS Act, 2016.

5. Applicability of SIT for Small and Micro Enterprises (SMEs):

5.1 Compliance to the Scheme of Inspection and Testing is OPTIONAL for Micro, and Small
Scale Units with respect to the requirements for Clause 1(Quality Assurance Plan), Clause
2 (Ensuring Compliance through Testing). However, ALL units shall ensure compliance of
their products to the requirements of the Indian Standard.
5.2 The requirements of SIT with respect to Clause 3 (Packing and Marking) and Clause 4
(Rejection) shall be followed by all.
