Introduction to Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS)

The Bureau of Standards (BIS) is the Indian standards body under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Consumer Protection, Food and Public Distribution. The BIS Certification is responsible for ensuring the quality, stability, and reliability of consumer goods. Therefore, it issues numerous quality certifications and actively participates in the management, classification, development of industry standards, and testing of products sold and distributed within India.
