Multi-purpose dry batteries are widely used in household appliances, toys, flashlights, remote controls, clocks, radios, and many other portable electronic devices. As these batteries are directly used by consumers, ensuring their safety, quality, and reliable performance is essential.

The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) has established IS 8144 to specify the quality requirements for multi-purpose dry batteries. Manufacturers covered under the applicable Quality Control Order (QCO) must obtain BIS ISI Mark Certification before selling their products in the Indian market.

GYE LLP provides complete consultancy and end-to-end support to help manufacturers obtain BIS Certification efficiently and in compliance with BIS regulations.
