use of the ISI Certification Mark is governed by the provisions of the
Indian Standards Institution ( Certification Marks ) Act, and the Rules and Regulations
made thereunder.
Presence of this mark on products covered by an Indian Standard
conveys the assurance that they have been produced to comply with the requirements of that standard, under a well-defined system of inspection, testing and quality
control during production.
This system, which is devised and supervised by IS1 and
operated by the producer, has the further safeguard that the products as actually marketed are continuously checked by IS1 for conformity to the standard.
Details of conditions,
under which a licence for the use of the IS1 Certification
Mark may be granted to
manufacturers or processors, may be obtained from the Indian Standards Institution.
