Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) certification is a conformity assessment scheme implemented by the Bureau of Indian Standards, which is the national standards body of India. BIS certification ensures that products meet the specified Indian standards for quality, safety, and performance.
Under this certification, manufacturers are required to comply with the relevant Indian standards and undergo testing and inspection processes. Once a product successfully meets the standards, it is granted the BIS certification mark, also known as the BIS mark. The mark indicates that the product is in compliance with the specified standards and is considered safe and reliable for use in the Indian market.
BIS certification can be mandatory or voluntary, depending on the product category. Certain products, such as electronic, electrical appliances, automotive components, building materials, and food products, require mandatory BIS certification before they can be sold in India. Voluntary certification, on the other hand, allows manufacturers to demonstrate their commitment to quality and compliance voluntarily.
