BIS was introduced to harmonise marking,\nstandardisation, and quality certification of products and incidental or\nconnected issues. BIS is providing tangible &amp; traceable advantages to the\nnational economy by providing reliable &amp; safe quality products, promoting\nimport &amp; export substitutes, decreasing health hazards to customers,\ncontrolling the proliferation of varieties, etc., by standardisation,\ncertification and testing. Following are the main purpose of BIS:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Continual and harmonious growth of\nstandardisation, marking, and quality certification.<\/li><li>Seamless development of a national strategy for\nIndian standards recognition &amp; syncing them with the development of\nproducts and exports<\/li><li>To ensure a new thrust to quality control and\nstandardisation.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_ISI_Mark\"><\/span>What is ISI Mark?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After India gained independence, various criteria were implemented in the Indian markets to guarantee the sale of high-quality goods.

Manufacturers must obtain this BIS ISI certification from the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) to sell particular products in India.
