Abstract Indian Standards developed by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) play a critical role in establishing uniform specifications and performance criteria for cold chain equipment used in Universal Immunization Programme (UIP).These standards ensure that Cold Boxes, Ice-Lined Refrigerators (ILRs), Deep Freezers (DF), Vaccine Carriers etc. meet the operational needs of healthcare settings, including those of remote and rural areas. This paper highlights the importance of adopting and enforcing Indian Standards for cold chain equipment in immunization programs, with a focus on improving vaccine efficacy, reducing wastage, and safeguarding public health.
