SMD Shoes Bangladesh Factory Achieves Crucial Indian BIS Certification for Footwear

SMD Shoes today announced a significant milestone: its advanced manufacturing facility in Bangladesh has successfully obtained the mandatory footwear certification from the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) in May 2025. This comprehensive certification covers the factory's core product categories, including Sports Shoes, Slippers, and Sandals, marking a critical breakthrough in SMD's access to the high-potential Indian market.

The Indian BIS certification is globally recognized for its stringent requirements regarding product quality, safety, and performance. For footwear products, this certification is a statutory mandatory requirement for market entry into India. SMD's Bangladesh facility successfully passed rigorous audits and product testing conducted by BIS-accredited laboratories, demonstrating its robust production systems, superior product quality, and exceptional capability to meet exacting international standards – fully aligning with India's highest regulatory requirements for imported footwear.

Securing BIS certification for our Bangladesh factory represents a vital strategic achievement in SMD's global expansion. This accomplishment not only unlocks the door to the vast and dynamic Indian market but also signifies:

- Market Access Breakthrough: The certification removes a major regulatory barrier, enabling us to legally and smoothly export our core product lines to India, opening a significant new avenue for growth.

- Validation of Quality Excellence: Passing the demanding BIS audit serves as an internationally recognized endorsement of SMD's 'Lean Manufacturing' philosophy and unwavering commitment to 'Quality First,' substantially enhancing our brand credibility.

- Strengthened Supply Chain Advantage: Combining cost-effectiveness with internationally certified manufacturing capabilities, our Bangladesh facility further solidifies SMD’s ability to provide global customers with high-value, reliable, and compliant products.

- Enhanced Customer Confidence: It provides our international brand partners and Indian customers with strong assurance of compliance, guaranteeing that sourced products fully meet Indian regulatory standards.

SMD Shoes is committed to delivering comfortable, stylish, and durable footwear to consumers worldwide through its global production footprint and stringent quality management systems. The Bangladesh factory, a key overseas manufacturing base since its commissioning in 2019, has continuously advanced its technical processes and quality control standards.

Looking Ahead:

Bolstered by the BIS certification, SMD Shoes will accelerate its efforts to develop the Indian market and deepen partnerships with local stakeholders. The company will continue investing resources to ensure its global production bases, including the Bangladesh facility, maintain industry-leading operational standards and product quality, consistently meeting and exceeding the evolving regulatory and consumer expectations across diverse markets.
