"We are identifying more products. We are thinking of QCOs for ceiling fans and smart meters," the official added.
The items, under these orders, cannot be produced, sold/traded, imported and stocked unless they bear the BIS mark.
The move comes at a time when the government is working to formulate technical regulations, which include safety and quality standards, for different products with a view to cutting imports of those non-essential items.
