1 This amendment is for deletion of ‘Certification clause’ from the standard considering the direct detrimental impact of the product on human health which does not go with the mandate of BIS to promote Quality Ecosystem in the country. Also, BIS standard mark on tobacco product may be misleading to the consumer as the same can be perceived as an assurance that the product is safe for use and may also encourage use of such products.
