The period of British rule left India’s industrial and economic infrastructure severely weakened. Recognizing the urgent need to rebuild the nation with a strong focus on quality, safety, and consumer protection, the Government of India initiated a structured approach toward standardization. This led to the establishment of the Indian Standards Institution (ISI), which later evolved into the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS).
Standardization is a systematic process of formulating and implementing rules, specifications, and guidelines for products, services, and processes. It ensures safety, quality, reliability, and uniformity, while supporting sustainable industrial growth and economic development.
At Qualitance India, our Standardization (Scientific) Division actively supports industries in the formulation, development, and alignment of standards with national and international requirements.
Our Standardization Division is dedicated to:
The primary objective of our division is to guide and assist industries throughout the standards formulation lifecycle.

After addressing all stakeholder comments, the draft standard is submitted to the Division Council Chairman for final approval.
The process begins with a request from a manufacturer or industry stakeholder—especially when no Indian Standard exists for a specific product category. We collect:
Our experts conduct a detailed analysis of:
Safety and performance parameters
This phase involves structured planning and gap analysis.Based on the evaluation, we prepare a draft standard covering all critical parameters aligned with national and international norms.
The draft is submitted to BIS, where expert panels review and examine the proposal.
Upon satisfactory evaluation, BIS grants approval and initiates the formal standardization process.
Once approved, BIS publishes the standard, and relevant departments oversee its implementation across industries.
