- Market Access: BIS certification is a mandatory requirement for many products to be sold in the Indian market. Certification helps businesses gain access to the Indian market and expand their customer base.
- Consumer Confidence: BIS certification demonstrates to consumers that a product meets Indian safety standards and is of high quality. This can increase consumer confidence in the product and lead to higher sales.
- Competitive Advantage: BIS certification can provide businesses with a competitive advantage over non-certified products. Certification can be used as a marketing tool to differentiate products from competitors and demonstrate commitment to quality and safety.
- International Recognition: BIS certification is recognized by many international organizations and can help businesses comply with other international standards, such as ISI or CE, which can help them gain access to global markets.
