The process entails verifying that material and quality criteria are met, conducting in-house testing, and creating the relevant papers. The application is submitted to BIS, which then conducts a factory inspection and sample testing. BIS issues the certification after approval, authorizing the use of the ISI mark. Audits are conducted on a regular basis to guarantee compliance. BIS certification is required for some aluminium goods in the Indian market by 2024 in order to maintain quality and safety standards.
