What is ISI Mark?
The ISI Mark is a certification mark in India that represents a product’s compliance with the Indian Standards set by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). This mark signifies quality, safety, and reliability, assuring consumers that the product meets established standards and is safe for use. It is mandatory for various products in India and voluntary for others, instilling confidence in both consumers and regulatory authorities.

Obtaining this license is essential for manufacturers who aim to legally sell their products in India, especially in categories where certification is compulsory.
