I recently came across some products while shopping which had ISI marks on the packaging or product but based on the quality etc. I suspected if they were really certified ISI marked products. So I explored website if India's national standard body - Bureau of Indian Standards website and found that it is possible to know through the website, which products have been certified under specific standard and also we can know the status of licences obtained by companies.
One of the items details I validated found that the license number they put on the product packaging is an invalid one.
Here are some useful links
Also found some recent news items on misuse of ISI markings.
