The mandatory BIS certification is enforced by the\u00a0Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) of India\u00a0itself, acting on behalf of the Central Government of India.

IS\u00a014696:2000 is the\u00a0BIS-granted\u00a0Indian\u00a0Standard that\u00a0determines\u00a0the design, material, and performance of Transmission Steel Roller Chains and Chain Wheels. If manufactured to this standard, the chain's strength, durability, and safety are ensured. Therefore, it is essential to get\u00a0a BIS\u00a0certification.\u00a0<\/p>
What is the time limit for BIS certification?\u00a0<\/h3>
