Bis Certification

Target Location | Pan India |
BIS stands for “Bureau of Indian Standards” and emerged in 1986 from the “Indian Standards Institution” (ISI). The ISI had been in existence since 1947 and was the responsible agency for certifying production quality in India, but had limited authority in writing and enforcing standards. In order to strengthen the ISI in its function, it was therefore elevated to the status of “Bureau of Indian Standards” (BIS) in 1986 and from then on was also responsible for the formulation of standards.
