A bill to amend Bureau of Indian Standards Act was introduced in the Lok Sabha today. It provides for establishment of a national standards body for the development of standardisation, conformity assessment and quality assurance of goods, articles and services. <br/><br/>The Bureau of Indian Standards Bill-2015 will enable Government to bring under the mandatory certification regime such article, process or service which it considers necessary from the point of view of health, safety, environment, prevention of deceptive practices and security. This will help consumers receive ISI certified products and will also help in prevention of import of sub-standard products.
