Toys are meant to inspire creativity and development — but only when they are safe. To eliminate the risk of unsafe or hazardous toys entering the Indian market, the Government of India has made BIS certification mandatory for all toys meant for children below 14 years, whether manufactured locally or imported.
Under the Toys (Quality Control) Order, 2020, every toy — electric or non-electric — must comply with the applicable Indian Standards and bear the ISI Mark. Products failing to meet these requirements cannot be legally sold in India.
Global Consulting Services helps manufacturers and importers navigate BIS compliance efficiently, ensuring complete safety, legal confidence, and market readiness.
