BIS is essential for manufacturers because their products will be assured strictly based on quality and safety aspects. It will hence attract tool industries mostly, where the assurance of a product becomes vital in terms of its quality and performance. For instance, the Edge Cutters IS 3650:1981 manufacturer will increase the reliability of its products by acquiring BIS certification. Such certification will ensure that the product meets the established norms about safety, quality, and performance.
Engaging a BIS consultant is of huge advantage to those manufacturers who want to get certified. A consultant is aware of the applicable standards, acquires all relevant documentation, and guides manufacturers through technical features. Consultants' knowledge helps to avoid costly mistakes and reduce the risk of delay in testing and approval. Compliance tasking also allows manufacturers to focus on production, thus accelerating entry into the market and enabling a stronger competitive advantage.
