BIS certification assures that ropes and cordages meet Indian quality and safety requirements. Manufacturers must get certification to use the ISI mark, which verifies product dependability. The procedure consists of application submission, factory inspection, product testing, and approval. IS 1084:2005 for Manila ropes, IS 5175:1992 for polypropylene ropes, and IS 14948:2001 for nylon ropes are some of the relevant Indian Standards. BIS conducts inspections and laboratory tests before granting the license. This certification is mandatory under the Ropes and Cordages (Quality Control) Order, 2024. Compliance helps businesses gain market trust and meet regulatory requirements for domestic and export markets.
