Service Overview

What is BIS Eco Mark Certification?

The BIS Eco Mark is a voluntary environmental label awarded to products that meet specific ecological criteria across their entire lifecycle — from raw material extraction and manufacturing to use and disposal. It is India's official eco-label, recognised by the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change.

Eco Mark certification helps businesses demonstrate environmental responsibility, differentiate products in sustainability-conscious markets, and meet the growing demand from institutional buyers for green-certified goods.

Why this certification matters

  • India's official eco-label backed by BIS and MoEFCC
  • Differentiates products in green procurement and retail
  • Meets institutional and government buyer sustainability requirements
  • Reduces regulatory risk as environmental norms tighten
  • Supports CSR and ESG reporting objectives
