Introduction
ISI mark or the Indian Standard Institute, that is known as BIS, is a standard body in India which checks the quality and the efficiency of different products in India and hence keep in check if the company is following the laid out standards given by the Institute. Now there is a very common misconception amongst the general public that ISI Certification and ISO Certification is one and the same thing. However, this is not at all true, even though both the certification works on by laying out different standards and aim for one thing that is high-quality products and services to be given out they are still very much different.
Whereas ISO Certification is provided to a company and the way it works, the internal working system (in accordance with the International Standards laid out by the ISO), ISI Certification is given out to products also, more commonly known as ISI mark.
