BIS is a national body to grant Certification on the standard and quality of products. It is considered a mark of trust for the consumers. A standard mark on a product is an assurance of its Conformity to the specifications laid down by the Bureau. The BIS certification is optional, but the government, in the interest of Public Health and its safety, has made the certification/registration of certain products mandatory to protect Indian consumers from spurious and substandard products. It has raised the competitiveness of domestic manufacturers and provided Indian consumers with the opportunity to enjoy quality goods of world-class standard. It further aims to prevent the dumping of substandard goods in India.
