Regulatory Support for Food & Beverage Plants
Compliance shapes the plant, the product and the label. We map the requirements that apply to you and build the documentation and systems to meet them.
Compliance planned in from the start
FSSAI licensing, BIS certification and Legal Metrology declarations affect your layout, your laboratory, your labels and your launch date. Planned early, they fit the project schedule. Left late, they can delay the launch.
FOBICA provides expert advice and coordination support. Licences, registrations and certifications are granted by the relevant authorities at their discretion.
Problems we solve
- Unclear which licences and standards apply
- Labels that do not meet declaration requirements
- Laboratories planned after the plant is built
- Missing or disorganised documentation
- Compliance that lapses after approval

Compliance questions
Which approvals does a packaged drinking water plant need?
Packaged drinking water needs FSSAI-related licensing and BIS certification. Requirements change from time to time, so we verify them for your project.
How do you help us get approval?
We prepare you thoroughly: the right requirements, complete documentation and a ready laboratory. Licences and certificates are then granted by the relevant authorities.
When should compliance planning start?
At the feasibility stage. It affects layout, laboratory, labels and timelines.
Do you help after the licence is issued?
Yes. Compliance systems keep records, testing and renewals on track.
Unsure which approvals apply to you?
Tell us your product and plans. We will map the requirements and the order to tackle them.
