The objective is to foster a safe and quality-centric environment nationwide.
In line with this objective, a recent QCO has been issued to regulate “Aluminum and Aluminum Alloy Bare Foil for Food Packaging”.

Failure to comply will lead to the prohibition of importing, manufacturing, or selling these goods in the Indian market.
Certification plays a crucial role in ensuring that products meet specific quality and safety standards mandated by the government. Its implementation aims to safeguard consumers, promote standardization, uphold public health and safety, facilitate international trade, and stimulate economic development.
To achieve BIS certification, products must fully comply with all parameters outlined in the corresponding Indian Standard. This ensures that products meet stringent quality and safety requirements, bolstering consumer confidence and advancing industry standards.
