What product marks actually certify

Match ISI Mark, BIS Standard Mark, Hallmark and Eco Mark to what each mark certifies

Comparison
Consumer Quality & Certification Marks

ISI and BIS Standard Mark

  • Indicates conformity to the applicable Indian Standard under BIS certification.
  • ISI is itself a BIS Standard Mark; the two descriptions overlap.
  • Check the standard number, licence and the product covered by the certification.

Hallmark

  • Certifies fineness or purity of precious-metal articles under the scheme.
  • Purity is different from the ornament’s design, making charge or resale price.
  • Verification details depend on the applicable metal and hallmarking scheme.

Ecomark

  • The 2024 Ecomark Rules replaced the 1991 scheme.
  • Eligible products must meet notified environmental criteria.
  • CPCB implements the scheme in partnership with BIS.

Read the scope of the claim

  • Standard conformity, precious-metal purity and environmental criteria are different checks.
  • No mark automatically guarantees the lowest price or superiority for every use.
  • Environmental certification does not mean zero environmental impact.
