About BIS

Bureau of Indian Standars (BIS), as the national standards body, has been formulating Indian Standards catering to the needs of various stakeholders in terms of quality and technological advancements. The standards are finalized through a consensus approach and the collective wisdom of the members of the Technical Committees. 

In order to ensure faster and easier implementation of these standards, BIS has taken the initiative of conducting a Manak Manthan meeting through which the stakeholders can directly discuss and comment on the standards which have been recently formulated or are at advanced stages of finalization. The Manak Manthan serves as a platform for identifying challenges and suggesting comments for improvement of standards and the feedback is made available to the concerned technical committee for addressing them suitably.
