Earlier, mails were handled manually in the Post Office Department, using outdated techniques that were expensive, and ineffective techniques. Taking this into consideration, a mail processing machine was introduced to improve the speed and accuracy of the post office department. All types of mail processing equipment, postage equipment, and franking equipment are covered by BIS. A franking machine also referred to as a &#8220;postage metre,&#8221; is a tool that prints a barcode rather than a traditional stamp on a mail or package. A franking machine allows users to select mail classes and premium services and download and safely store postage dollars. Before being purchased, exported, or imported into India, these machines must receive BIS Registration Certificate. The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) mandated that mail processing machines must be registered with BIS under the <strong>Compulsory Registration Scheme per IS 13252 (Part 1)<\/strong><sup><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bis.gov.in\/index.php\/product-certification\/products-under-compulsory-certification\/scheme-ii-registration-scheme\/\"><strong>[1]<\/strong><\/a><\/sup>:2010 on May 13, 2015.
