The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) is the national standards body of India, responsible for developing and promoting standards for various products and services. Established in 1986, BIS aims to ensure quality, safety, and reliability in goods and services, thereby protecting consumer interests and enhancing industrial efficiency. BIS also plays a crucial role in certification and testing, providing a mark of quality known as the ISI mark. This certification helps consumers identify products that meet specific standards, fostering trust and encouraging manufacturers to maintain high-quality production practices.
