Starting from February 2024, all ceiling fans sold in India must have the ISI mark, which stands for Indian Standards Institution. This mark ensures that the fan meets specific safety and quality standards set by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). Fans without this mark won't be allowed to sell, storage, or export.
