Special notes:
1) BIS officially demands that the applicant for BIS certificate should be the tire manufacturer; it is feasible for trade company application that the company authorizes to a manufacturer first and applies in the name of the manufacturer by adding the company brand while operating. In this case, the two parties negotiate about the problem of certificate holder. It is who pays, who is the certificate holder and enjoy the use right.
2) BIS certification for tire: operated by customers, the costs are lower, but the exporter is limited to customers. Since the costs undertook by customers and considering maximum interest, we will like to be the sole agency for the domestic exporters. Operated by self, costs higher, no limit to exporter, initiative of certificate lies on the domestic exporters. Therefore, the actual operation is based on the real situation of the applicants.
