Bureau Of Indian Standards
The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) ensures the safety and reliability of goods and services by standardizing and certifying third-party products for end consumers. Established in 1986, BIS evolved from the Indian Standards Institution (ISI) to address India’s evolving product landscape. Through its certification processes, BIS sets quality benchmarks, fostering trust in the marketplace. The rebranding from ISI to BIS reflected a broader scope and adaptability to modern needs. Today, BIS plays a vital role in regulating product quality across industries, ensuring consumers receive safe, dependable goods while supporting India’s economic and industrial growth through standardized practices.
