Safety glass certification guarantees that glass goods satisfy safety and quality criteria to avoid injuries upon fracture. Safety glass under IS 2553 (Part 1 and 2) requires the BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards) certification in India. Manufacturers have to apply via BIS, send product samples for testing in accredited labs, and go through factory inspections. Approved, they get a BIS authorization to apply the ISI mark on their goods. Renewal calls for regular audits and compliance inspections. For sectors such design, building, and automotive to guarantee public safety and regulatory compliance, this accreditation is absolutely vital.
