In January 1947, the Indian Standards Institution (ISI), India's national standards authority at the time, was registered as a society under the Societies Registration Act, 1860. Its goal was to create and support standards for the Indian manufacturing sector. The Indian Standards Institution (Certification Marks) Act eventually broadened its application to cover Product Certification activities.
After it was decided that it was acceptable to give ISI's operations legislative character, the BIS Act 1986 was passed in the middle of the 1980s. In order to ease the cooperative production of standardization and quality certification of products with clearly outlined procedural protections, the Indian Standards Institute (ISI) was renamed as the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS).
ISI stands for Indian Standards Institute, an organisation created to establish standards for maintaining the reliability and understanding the true nature of industrial goods. It is a recognised mark that guarantees the consumer and industrial goods are of high quality and safe for usage. It is a reputable and acknowledged certification mark in India that confirms the quality of an industrial good. ISI offers two registration options: required registration and optional registration.
