Single volume pipettes are specialized laboratory instruments designed to accurately dispense a predetermined, fixed volume of liquid in a single operation. Examples of such pipettes include volumetric pipettes, serological pipettes and Pasteur pipettes, each serving specific purposes in laboratory applications. Volumetric pipettes are calibrated for precise delivery of a specific volume, typically indicated by a single graduation mark. Serological pipettes are graduated along their length, allowing for accurate dispensing of predetermined volumes. Pasteur pipettes, although ungraduated, are often used for transferring small, specific volumes of liquids. The selection of a single-volume pipette depends on the experiment's requirements, including the desired volume and accuracy, contributing to the precision of liquid handling in various scientific disciplines.
All laboratory glassware – single volume pipettes has been included in the mandatory ISI Certification Scheme under IS 1117: 2018.
This Indian standard outlines the metrological and constructional criteria for volumetric pipettes featuring a one mark (total delivery) and for those with two marks. Both types are suitable for general laboratory use.
This product cannot be exported, imported, or sold in the Indian consumer market without bearing the ISI Mark.
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.

There are two approaches for Indian manufacturers to become certified with the ISI Mark:
Regular Procedure
With the possible exception of cases deemed "All India first," which might take up to 180 days, the licensing procedure is expected to be finished in 120 days. This timeline starts on the day the application is received, assuming that at different points in time the documentation, unit assessment, and product conformance are all deemed acceptable.
Step 1: Manufacturing Unit Customization in Compliance with Applicable Indian Standards
Step 2: Submission of the Application Form

Simplified Procedure
This is a much faster process than the standard procedure. After a factory inspection is deemed satisfactory and the initial evaluation establishes that the sample complies with the applicable Indian Standard(s), the license application process is expected to be finished in 30 days.
Step 1: Adapting the Manufacturing Unit to Comply with the Relevant Indian Standard
Step 2: Sample Testing
