Certification Introduction:

BIS certification is a product certification in India, supervised by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). According to different product types, BIS certification is divided into three types, including mandatory ISI mark certification, CRS certification, and voluntary certification. The BIS certification system has existed for more than 50 years, covering more than 1,000 products. All products included in the mandatory list must obtain BIS certification (ISI mark registration certification) before they can be sold in India.

BIS is a third-party certification body, and the certified products will be marked with the ISI label. The label has a great influence in India and neighboring countries, and has a good reputation, which is a reliable guarantee for product quality. Once the product is marked with the "ISI mark", it means that it meets the relevant Indian standards, and consumers can buy it with confidence.
