The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) has carried out search operations at Amazon, Flipkart and some other leading e-commerce platforms at multiple locations and seized products which were not certified by the bureau.

“During its surveillance activities, BIS has identified that several non-certified products are being sold on e-commerce platforms such as Amazon, Flipkart, Meesho, Myntra, BigBasket even though BIS certification has been made mandatory for these products,” according to a statement by the Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution.
