The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) is the National Standards Body of India, established under the BIS Act, 2016, and operates under the aegis of the Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution.
BIS is the national hallmarking authority for precious metal articles like gold and silver jewellery, which has been made mandatory to protect consumers and ensure purity.
BIS formulates and publishes Indian Standards (IS).
These standards aim to ensure safety, quality, and efficiency.
BIS operates a product certification scheme, allowing manufacturers to use the ISI Mark (Indian Standards Institution Mark) on their products as an assurance of conformity to Indian Standards.
