Conclusion

Toys are the door through which a child develops. The joy it brings leads to a child being happy. But, as the number of materials used to manufacture toys became more and more toxic, it was mandated that a Toy Quality Control Order had to be issued. The Safety of Toys was taken up by DPIIT, Ministry of Commerce and passed on to BIS. Therefore, if you are a toy manufacturer, you must have a BIS certificate for Toys.
