History

Bangladesh Standards Institution (BDSI) was established in 1971 after the liberation war as a National Standards body of the country. In 1974, the institution so formed became member of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).[2] The present institution comes into being through an Ordinance (Ordinance XXXVII of 1985) with the merger of Bangladesh Standards Institution (BDSI) and the Central Testing Laboratories (CTL) in 1985.[2][3] In 1995 Department of Agricultural Grading and Marking was merged with BSTI. The BSTI ordinance of 1985 was converted into an act in 2018.

About

BSTI formulates and issues Bangladesh Standards (BDS) for products and services inside the country. The products and services which maintain Bangladesh Standards are certified by the institution, and a Certification Mark (CM) licence is issued for a validity of three years after factory inspection and standardized testing of the products in its laboratories. Only the licensed manufacturers can use the BSTI certification mark in their product package. The institution has formulated over 4000 standards since its inception. 239 products require mandatory CM licence to be produced, distributed and sold inside Bangladesh. According to Bangladesh's import policy, 79 products require mandatory CM clearance to be imported into the country.
