ISI Mark and Certification
ISI mark is a third party guarantee of quality given by Bureau of Indian Standards. During the pre independence period, standardization activity was sporadic and confined mainly to a few Government purchasing organization. However, immediately after independence, economic development through coordinated utilization of resources was called for and the government recognized the role for standardization in gearing industry to competitive efficiency and quality production. ISI mark thus helps in formulating Indian Standards for products and services by bringing together and coordinating various interest groups like manufacturers, consumers, technical experts, testing personnel and others interested. The standards so prepared are known as Indian Standards (IS) and are considered as legal documents. The Indian Standards are used not only by the industry but also by the Government, students, consumers and regulatory authorities. It is interesting to note that the first Indian Standard was formulated for the National Flag which is IS1.
The certificate given by Indian Standard Institute to the commodity is as per the standard quality and quantity. Every manufacturer has to submit each lot or batch of production to the quality inspector who takes some sample quantity for examination. After satisfactory examination the certificate is issued to the producer. After that the batch is dispatched to the market for sale.
The ISI mark on a product is an assurance that the product conforms to the requirements as laid down in the specification. Conformity to the standard is ensured through regular surveillance of the manufacturing process, surprise inspections and testing of samples drawn from the factory as well as from the market. Fraudulent and unauthorized use of the ISI mark is a violation of the law punishable under the BIS Act.
