15–45 days
Published range for many licences
Trademarks take much longer
Proof buyers ask for
ISO, FSSAI, trademark, IEC, BIS, and local licences.
A certificate is useful when a buyer, a tender, or a food inspector will ask for it. Bridgeway identifies the licence you actually need, closes the document gap, and files with the right authority. We do not issue ISO certificates, FSSAI licences, or trademarks ourselves.

What this engagement covers
ISO certification
ISO 9001, 14001, 45001, and 27001, chosen by the risk you actually manage.
- 9001 for quality systems
- 14001 for environment
- 45001 for health and safety
- 27001 for information security
FSSAI
Food licences for manufacturers, traders, restaurants, cloud kitchens, packers, and distributors.
- Mandatory for food businesses
- The licence class follows turnover and activity
- Renewal is part of the retainer if you want it
Trademark
Search and filing for a word, logo, or tagline.
- You can use TM after filing
- Registration itself is described as 12–18 months
- A search avoids filing a name you cannot keep
Import Export Code
IEC from DGFT for businesses that import or export.
- Described as lifetime validity
- No routine renewal in the published guide
- Bank and GST details need to match
BIS and local licences
BIS where the product needs an ISI mark, plus shop and establishment, trade licence, pollution NOC, and fire NOC.
- Product-specific, not a default bundle
- Local licences follow the municipal and state rules of the unit
Why clients use this
- A gap check before fees are paid to a body.
- Filing and inspection coordination.
- Renewal tracking for certificates that expire.
- A straight answer when a tender asks for a mark you do not need.
How the work moves
01
Requirement
Industry, buyer, and product decide the certificate. Not the other way around.
02
Gap
We compare current practice and papers with what the auditor or authority will ask.
03
Filing
We submit the application with the evidence.
04
Certificate
We coordinate audit or inspection and collect the certificate or the objection.
Before you start
- Trademark filing is not the same as registration. The published timeline to registration is 12–18 months.
- FSSAI is mandatory for food businesses. It is not a quality medal you opt into.
- ISO is issued by a certification body after audit. Paying a consultant does not create the certificate.
- The original page’s ‘100% approval’ line is not a guarantee we repeat.
Many operational licences are described as 15–45 days. Trademark registration is the long exception.
