In the reflective tape industry, it means to\nreturn light where it came from and nowhere else. IS\/ISO 9742 (Part 2): 2015\ncovers retro-reflective devices. The BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards) adopted\nthis Standard, which is identical to ISO 96742\/2-1985 granted by the ISO, on\nthe recommendation of the bicycle sectional committee and with the approval of\nthe transport engineering division council. This Standard specifies the photometric\nand physical requirements for retro-reflective devices to be installed on\nbicycles designed for use on public roads. Such retro-reflective devices are\neffective in low-visibility conditions and at night in helping to make all road\nusers know of the presence of a cyclist. Retro-reflective devices are\nclassified as per IS\/ISO 6742(Part 2): 2015 based on product type and colour,\nsuch as reflectors, retro-reflective spokes (white), retro-reflective tyres\n(white, yellow), retro-reflective spoke cases (white). The reflector has to\nmeet the colourimetric and photometric requirements of the Standard. The CIL\nvalues for reflectors and retro-reflective tyres shall not be less than those\nspecified in the Standard. The reflector needs to include a distinct preferred\nassembly method to ensure that it can be mounted in the intended orientation\nconcerning the bicycle. This blog will discuss about BIS ISI Certification for\nRetro-reflective Devices in India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_82_2 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title ez-toc-toggle\" style=\"cursor:pointer\">Page Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 eztoc-toggle-hide-by-default' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/corpbiz.io\/learning\/bis-isi-certification-for-retro-reflective-devices-in-india\/#What_is_a_BIS_ISI_Certification_Scheme\" >What is a BIS\nISI Certification Scheme?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/corpbiz.io\/learning\/bis-isi-certification-for-retro-reflective-devices-in-india\/#Benefits_of_BIS_ISI_Certification_for_Retro-reflective_Devices\" >Benefits of\nBIS ISI Certification for Retro-reflective Devices<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/corpbiz.io\/learning\/bis-isi-certification-for-retro-reflective-devices-in-india\/#BIS_Updates_on_Standard_Amendment_for_Retro-Reflective_Devices\" >BIS Updates on\nStandard Amendment for Retro-Reflective Devices<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/corpbiz.io\/learning\/bis-isi-certification-for-retro-reflective-devices-in-india\/#List_of_Products_as_per_India_Standards\" >List of Products as per India Standards<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/corpbiz.io\/learning\/bis-isi-certification-for-retro-reflective-devices-in-india\/#Documents_Required_to_Obtain_BIS_ISI_Certification_for_Retro-reflective_Devices\" >Documents\nRequired to Obtain BIS ISI Certification for Retro-reflective Devices<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/corpbiz.io\/learning\/bis-isi-certification-for-retro-reflective-devices-in-india\/#Procedure_to_Obtain_BIS_ISI_Certification_for_Retro-reflective_Devices\" >Procedure to\nObtain BIS ISI Certification for Retro-reflective Devices<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-7\" href=\"https:\/\/corpbiz.io\/learning\/bis-isi-certification-for-retro-reflective-devices-in-india\/#Conclusion\" >Conclusion<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_a_BIS_ISI_Certification_Scheme\"><\/span>What is a BIS\nISI Certification Scheme?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>ISI is a short form for the Indian Standards Institute. ISI is the\ncertificate scheme under BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards), which confirms that\na product withstands the BIS Standards, which ensures safety. BIS ISI\nCertificate allows you to use the standards mark (ISI mark). Since 1955, the\nISI mark has been the standards compliance mark for industrial products. This\nmark ensures that the BIS (national standards body in India which confirms that\nthe item is credible and secure) is laid. Under the BIS ISI Certificate, 346+\nitems require a BIS ISI Certification mandatorily; without that, the\nmanufacturer would not be able to produce and sell products in India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Benefits_of_BIS_ISI_Certification_for_Retro-reflective_Devices\"><\/span>Benefits of\nBIS ISI Certification for Retro-reflective Devices<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The following are the\nbenefits of BIS ISI Certification for Retro-reflective Devices in India:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol><li><strong>Legal Benefit: <\/strong>BIS ISI Certification offers legal benefits to a manufacturer as it allows the manufacturer to manufacture the products covered under the mandatory list. Also, it prevents you from legal issues like fines, debarment, or both, which manufacturers could face if they fail to obtain the <a href=\"https:\/\/corpbiz.io\/isi-mark-certification\"><strong>BIS ISI Certification<\/strong><\/a> for the compulsory product.<\/li><li><strong>Provides Competitive Advantage: <\/strong>As mentioned, BIS ISI Certified product signifies the exemplary quality of the product that provides the manufacturer with a competitive edge. Because a customer always prefers a certified product. However, an uncertified product can obtain magnificent sales overnight, but it lacks quality, unlike certified products. Still, if an uncertified product fails to satisfy the customer, this will eventually affect your revenue. On the contrary, a BIS ISI Certified product gives you an edge over your competitors by ensuring a high-quality product. Hence, it could result in high revenue.<\/li><li><strong>Market Benefits: <\/strong>Having the BIS ISI Certificate will provide a market benefit over uncertified goods, such as the unchallenging and uninterrupted production of goods. Not only that, but the BIS ISI Certificate verifies that your goods have been manufactured by following proper standards that ensure safety.<\/li><li><strong>Market Access:<\/strong> A certified product gives wider market access because it signifies better quality and conformity of following safety standards and customer security. A product with a standard mark or ISI mark would be more trustworthy and credible, hence, would be in good demand compared to uncertified products. This will give you wider market access. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"BIS_Updates_on_Standard_Amendment_for_Retro-Reflective_Devices\"><\/span>BIS Updates on\nStandard Amendment for Retro-Reflective Devices<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards) notification for Bicycles retro-reflective devices (Quality Control) Amendment Order, 2021 (Mandatory <a href=\"https:\/\/corpbiz.io\/bis-registration\"><strong>BIS Certification<\/strong><\/a> and Conformity Certificate):<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>India&#8217;s BIS <strong>(Ministry of Commerce and Industry<\/strong><sup><a href=\"https:\/\/commerce.gov.in\/\"><strong>[1]<\/strong><\/a><\/sup><strong>)<\/strong> had developed the regulation on Bicycles Retro-reflective Devices <strong>IS\/ISO 6742(Part 2): 2015<\/strong> and <strong>clause 4.14 0f IS 10613: 2014<\/strong> dated 7<sup>th<\/sup> July 2020.
