The Bureau of Indian standards were set up\nthrough the BIS Act of 2016. The bureau was set up to ensure proper\nstandardisation, quality assurance and marking of the products. By setting up\npre-defined standards, the BIS ensures that a citizen of the country receives\nquality products that are safe and reliable. This would significantly reduce the\nhealth-related hazards, boost the country’s export, and provide import\nsubstitutions. This can be achieved through timely testing, certification and\nmaintaining high standards. In this blog, we shall focus on BIS Registration\nProcess for Textile Products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
