It shows quality standard production and products. It is given as an award for continous improvement of quality products.

The essence is that it challenges and encourages manufacturers to produce quality standard products in Nigeria.

Products that fall under this qualification, are issued a licence/permit to display the NIS quality Mark on their product.
