AFC Furniture Solutions Secures Mandatory BIS Certifications for Four Furniture Categories
AFC Furniture Solutions has obtained mandatory BIS ISI Mark certifications for four commercial furniture categories—Work Chairs, General Purpose Chairs and Stools, Tables and Desks, and Storage Units—under India's Furniture (Quality Control) Order, 2025. Effective February 13, 2026, this regulation requires BIS certification for manufacturing and selling these furniture types. The standards ensure structural integrity, material safety, and durability, verified through third-party testing. The certification aims to formalize India's largely informal $29 billion furniture sector, with AFC's founder highlighting its role in shifting focus from price to verified quality.
