BIS working on nanotechnology standards
Created by assoceditor on 20/01/2012 16:21:28

The Bureau of Indian Standards is giving priority to standardisation in new areas including nanotechnology.



Gearing up for the future, the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) is giving priority to standardisation in new areas such as nanotechnology, energy efficiency, new renewable energy and bio-technology, according to a news article posted in the Deccan Journal. 

Consumer Affairs Minister K.V. Thomas said the BIS have been asked to harmonise Indian standards, where feasible, with international standards to provide quality goods and services to the public.

In order to provide safe and quality food and non-food agricultural products to the consumers, the BIS has formulated a standard, a first in a series of Indian standards, for good agricultural practices.

"In public interest, the government has notified 83 articles for mandatory conformance to the relevant Indian Standards," Thomas commented.
