Toys that don't require electricity or batteries to operate are known as non-electric toys. These toys are frequently distinguished by their manual interactivity and simplicity. Non-electric toys are essential for a child's development because they foster social and emotional development, inspire imaginative play, and advance physical and cognitive abilities. These toys are a great addition to a child's playtime and a decision that parents and other caregivers frequently value because of their many advantages. For kids of all ages, non-electric toys offer ageless and worthwhile play experiences. They have a variety of uses, from recreational to instructive, and come in diverse shapes and sizes.
Toys intended for kids under 14 years old must have a BIS certification, according the 2020 Toy Quality Control Order.
All non-electric toys have been included in the mandatory ISI Certification Scheme under IS standard - safety aspects related to mechanical and physical properties under IS 9873 (Part-1):2019, toys-flammability under IS 9873 (Part-2):2017, toys-migration of certain elements under IS 9873 (Part-3):2020, toys-swings, slides and similar activity toys for indoor and outdoor family domestic use under IS 9873 (Part-4):2017, toys-requirements and test methods for finger paints under IS 9873 (Part-7):2017 and toys-certain phthalates esters in toys and children’s products under IS 9873 (Part-9):2017.

Indian Standards Institute, or ISI was renamed the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) in 1987. The official mark that the Bureau of Indian Standards provides for manufacturers of various goods is the ISI Mark. It is used to indicate compliance with Indian standards (IS) set by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) and has been used as a conformity marking for industrial products. Manufacturers received permission from BIS to use the ISI Mark on items that comply with relevant Indian requirements through the product certification program.
Only manufacturers (domestic or foreign) who produce the finished product will be awarded ISI Certification. This will not be given to any product importers, traders, dealers, or distributors.
