A short guide to toy safety marks in India

Since 2021, most toys sold in India must carry the BIS Standard Mark under the Toys (Quality Control) Order. On the packaging, look for the ISI mark alongside a licence number.

Beyond the mark, three things matter for the under-threes: no detachable parts small enough to pass through a 32mm tube, no cords longer than 22cm, and non-toxic paint.

If a listing does not state an age range, treat that as a warning rather than an oversight.
