During the visit, members of the BIS Standard Club, including student coordinators and faculty mentors, are taken to industrial units, BIS-recognized laboratories, or regional BIS offices. The purpose of the visit is to observe the real-time application of Indian Standards in manufacturing, testing, and quality assurance processes. Experts from the BIS or host industry explain how standardization, quality control, and certification play a critical role in ensuring product reliability, consumer safety, and export competitiveness.
These visits bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and industrial practice, promoting awareness of the relevance of standardization, certification, and conformity assessment in everyday life and national development. Such exposure enhances students' understanding of quality infrastructure and encourages them to contribute towards the mission of a quality driven and self-reliant India.
