Role of BIS Certification
BIS lies in providing national standards that must be user-friendly.
BIS must ensure that it participates when it is about the formulation of the Indian standards.
It is done to make sure that Indian standards are harmonized well.
It ensures by BIS that accurate work is being done so that productivity is increased.
Efforts should be made by BIS in the direction of good training.
Training is required in many fields related to standardization and aspect of certification.
The changes in schemes must be overseen by the BIS team from time to time.
The objective of the Bureau of Indian standard is to give branch offices due regard.

Confirm Quality Standard
BIS has an approach for the enactment of quality compliance.
BIS products are examined in the lab to make sure that the product has fulfilled all requirements of BSI.
For examination, random samples are taken from manufacturing units and sent to a laboratory.
So, the laboratory decides whether the product is up to the mark or not.
It gets the BIS certification if it is of high quality.
So the procedure is the same, it’s a little tedious but it is important to ensure a high-quality product.
Market Benefits
