The programme was inaugurated by Kunal Kumar, Director & Head of BIS Jamshedpur Branch Office, who extended a warm welcome to all participants. He emphasized the role of Indian Standards in ensuring quality and standardization within the jewellery sector and spoke about key standards such as IS 1417, IS 2112, IS 1418, IS 2113, and IS 15820. These standards are critical not only for product quality but also for compliance with regulatory requirements.

The session was highly interactive, with jewellers actively engaging in discussions, seeking clarifications, and sharing feedback on the hallmarking and certification process. The BIS team highlighted the importance of adherence to standards to ensure consumer safety, product authenticity, and long-term trust in the industry.
In closing, Kumar extended best wishes to all participants for a prosperous Akshay Tritiya and reiterated BIS’s continued commitment to supporting jewellers through such awareness initiatives.
