ISI mark certification support for manufacturers and product-led businesses
The ISI Mark Certification is a product certification scheme operated by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). The ISI Mark signifies that a product conforms to the applicable Indian Standard (IS) and meets the prescribed quality, safety, and performance requirements.
Manufacturers holding a valid BIS licence are permitted to use the ISI Mark on their products. For many products notified under Quality Control Orders (QCOs), obtaining ISI Certification is mandatory before manufacturing, storing, selling, importing, or distributing such products in India.
ISI stands for Indian Standards Institute, the former name of the national standards body of India, which was later renamed as the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS).
