certification) before they can be sold in India.
BIS is a third-party certification body. Products that pass its
certification will be labeled with the ISI. This label has a large
impact in India and surrounding countries. It has a good reputation

products. All products listed in the compulsory certification must
obtain a product certification certificate according to Indian
product standards in order to enter the market. Therefore,
manufacturers who want to enter the Indian market need to
understand the Indian product certification system.
