Certification of copper products by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) guarantees that they satisfy Indian Standards (IS) for quality and safety. Products including copper wires (IS 613), rods (IS 1897), tubes (IS 2501), and rods (IS 12444) must comply by law. Manufacturers must apply via the BIS portal, create in-house testing, send documentation, go through a factory inspection, and pass product testing in order to be certified. Approved, they get a license to use the ISI mark. This accreditation guarantees regulatory compliance, strengthens reputation, and helps the market to embrace India. Ignoring rules could result in fines and sales limitations.
