The BIS ISI Mark is a certification provided by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) to guarantee the safety, quality, and dependability of household electrical equipment in India. It is required for items such as electric irons, immersion water heaters, stoves, room heaters, ceiling fans, and air conditioners. To earn the ISI mark, manufacturers must go through rigorous testing and factory inspections to ensure that their products meet Indian standards. This accreditation helps to avoid substandard products, assuring customer safety and commercial credibility. The ISI mark is required for legal sales in India, which strengthens trust and quality assurance for electrical goods makers.
