BIS CERTIFICATE ONLINE PROCEDURE, BENEFITS, COST, AND MUCH MORE

The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) is a national organization that promotes and oversees the quality standards of products and goods within India. It is a government body created by the BIS Act of 1986, and it works under the Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Food & Public Distribution in the Indian Government. When a product gets BIS certification, it means it's reliable and safe. BIS also checks products, sets standards, and does tests to ensure quality. If a product gets BIS certified, it can have an ISI mark, showing it's good quality. Some products must have BIS certification to ensure people's safety.

What is BIS Marking?

BIS Marking is like a special label that shows a product has been checked and tested by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) to make sure it's good and safe. This label has to be easy to see and should include things like the brand name, product name, model number, how powerful it is, who made it, and where it comes from (like Made in India or Made in China). This information can be printed, stamped, or even engraved on a metal plate. Some products need different marks, like the Standard Mark or the BIS hallmark, depending on what they are.

Once a product gets a BIS certificate, it can use this special label to show it's good and safe to use.
