“The manufacturer does not hold a valid BIS licence, and the firm violated Section 17 of BIS Act 2016 by applying spurious ISI marks on PET bottles,” said a statement from BIS adding that action would be initiated against the offender.  The offence is punishable with imprisonment up to two years or a fine not less than Rs. 2 lakhs, but may extend up to 10 times the value of goods or articles produced or sold or offered to be sold or affixed or applied with a Standard Mark or both as per Section 29 of BIS Act, 2016 for first contravention.

The authenticity of BIS Standard mark can be verified using a mobile application called ‘BIS Care App’. The general public can report the misuse of ISI mark by writing to BIS Chennai Branch Office, CIT Campus, 4th Cross Road, Taramani, Chennai-600113; email: [email protected].
