To ensure compliance with the condition of availability of BIS license by the manufacturers of Packaged Drinking Water(PDW) and Mineral Water(MW), FSSAI has decided to make BIS license/application receipt a pre-condition for issuing FSSAI license.
Accordingly, the following procedure has been laid down for considering the application for the issue of an FSSAI License in the case of the manufacture of PDW and MW.
- FBOs will have to mandatorily upload a copy of the BIS license or a copy of the letter indicating recording of application for BIS license at the time of applying for new FSSAI license for PDW and MW from FSSAI on the online system FoSCoS.
- After obtaining the BIS license, the FBO shall furnish its details in the online Annual Return available in FoSCoS.
- BIS license shall be a mandatory document while applying for renewal of license.
- In the event of closure or rejection of application for a license by BIS, the FBO shall inform the concerned Licensing Authority and the FSSAI allocation/license is liable to be suspended/cancelled.
