As India positions itself as a global manufacturing and innovation hub, quality assurance has become the backbone of progress. In this pursuit, the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) plays a pivotal role in shaping a reliable, nationally unified standardization framework. At TCR Engineering, we are proud to be a BIS-approved laboratory, working in close alignment with BIS to support the Test in India mission.
A Surge in Product Testing Across India
According to the latest Standards Watch 17 released by BIS, India’s laboratory testing infrastructure has undergone a remarkable expansion:
The number of product samples tested across BIS-recognized labs has risen fivefold, from 48,121 in 2019–20 to over 2.5 lakh in 2024–25.
Recognized laboratories grew from 246 to 382, along with the inclusion of 296 new test facilities since April 2024.
This growth reflects India’s rising emphasis on quality enforcement, industry compliance, and consumer safety — pillars that are also deeply embedded in TCR Engineering’s work ethos.
