Introduction
BIS Certification for Footwear is a requirement from the Indian government to ensure that all footwear products—leather safety shoes, rubber slippers, canvas shoes, etc. have met a specific quality and safety standard. The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) issues the BIS Registration for Footwear, which is required by all manufacturers and importers selling footwear in the Indian market legally.
What is BIS Certification?
BIS is the abbreviation for Bureau of Indian Standards. It is an organization that has been set up by the government of India to set standards for the quality and safety of products in India.
Getting your footwear certified by BIS means your shoes will meet the quality and safety standards of the Indian government. When you can provide this certification, you can instill confidence in your customers and ensure that your products are safe, durable, and of good quality.
