Bureau of Indian Standards establishes Indian Standards in relation to any article or process and amends, revises or cancels the standards so established as may be necessary, by a process of consultation involving consumers, manufacturers, Government and regulatory bodies, technologists, scientists and testing laboratories through duly constituted committees of the Bureau.

The experts form a technical committee which specializes in a specific subject area. They begin the process with the development of a draft that would cater to the needs of market as well as consumers. The committee strives to compile a draft which not only sets high standards for the subject dealt with, but also aims at improving suitability and acceptability of the end result. This draft is duly approved by the Committee and is issued in draft form and widely circulated for a period of not less than one month amongst the various interests concerned for critical review and suggestions for improvement. The wide circulation may be waived if so decided by the Sectional Committee where the matter is urgent or non-controversial.

This interface facilitates in accessing all the draft Indian standards under wide-circulation for comments. A link is provided for the users to comment on any existing Indian Standard or draft under wide-circulation. Users can comment as well as monitor the progress of their comments using this interface.
