Overview

ISI Mark Registration in India

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).
