BIS ISI Mark Certification
Bureau of Indian Standards Indian Standards Institute Mark

Overview of ISI Mark Certification

The ISI Mark is a certification issued by BIS, ensuring that products comply with stringent safety and quality standards. Initially introduced by the Department of Industries and Supplies in 1947, ISI aimed to establish standards for Indian industries. In the mid-1980s, the Bureau of Indian Standards replaced ISI as the certifying authority under the BIS Act of 1986, making the ISI Mark a statutory standard for product quality and safety.

The ISI Mark signifies adherence to Indian Standards, enhancing consumer trust and product reliability. Over 350 product categories, including chemicals, medical equipment, batteries, and cement, require mandatory ISI certification. Manufacturers and importers must strictly follow BIS guidelines for product registration, testing, and certification.

Introduction to ISI Mark Certification

The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS), established in 1987, replaced the Indian Standards Institute (ISI). Since 1955, the ISI Mark has been a recognized symbol of quality, safety, and reliability. It assures that products conform to Indian Standards (IS) set by BIS, the national standard-setting authority.

 

ISI Mark Registration is a process to certify products that comply with Indian Standards. Products requiring ISI certification include electrical appliances like irons, heaters, air conditioners, and wires, as well as industrial items such as UPVC pipes, rubber shoes, composite cement, and chemicals.

Certification Authority

The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) is the designated authority to grant ISI certifications in India. Upon application, BIS inspectors conduct a thorough inspection of manufacturing premises, ensuring compliance with Indian Standards and public safety requirements.
