Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (a) 1 only
Under the BIS (Conformity Assessment) Regulations and the Tyres (Quality Control) Order, the BIS Standard Mark is mandatory for all automotive tyres and tubes, so Statement 1 is correct. AGMARK, however, is a quality-certification mark administered by the Directorate of Marketing & Inspection, Government of India—not by FAO—rendering Statement 2 incorrect; hence only Statement 1 is correct (option a).
