In India all of us are aware about ISI mark. We believe if some product is ISI mark it will have superior quality. What is this ISI mark all about? Who issues the ISI marks? Many times, we also talk about specifications, correct way of construction, assembly, manufacturing, design, installation and testing. We often say that the product, process, and services must be as per standards. What do we mean by standards? Why standards are necessary? How and where standardization started? Is it country specific or it is global? Who can make standards? What is the origin of BIS and what are key features of BIS act? Can BIS ensure implementation of standards? What are various types of standards? What is standard formulation process in BIS and other international bodies? Are our standards reliable? What about their quality? Is there any standard for standardization? Are we attracting good people in the process of standardization? What is futuristic scenario of standardization?
