The BIS ISI mark for cement makers in India assures that their products fulfill the Bureau of Indian criteria’ quality and safety criteria. It is a necessary certification that indicates adherence to Indian Standard (IS) standards, such as IS 269 for Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) and IS 1489 for Portland Pozzolana Cement (PPC). To receive the ISI mark, producers must go through testing, factory inspections, and quality checks. This accreditation confirms that building materials are durable, strong, and reliable. The ISI brand increases customer trust and assures that cement fulfills national regulatory standards for infrastructure and construction projects.

IS 16415 refers to Composite Cement, a blend of Portland Cement, Fly Ash, and Slag, offering improved durability, strength, and sustainability for construction applications, including high-performance concrete structures.
ISI stands for Indian Standards Institute, now known as Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS), which sets quality and safety norms for cement and other industrial products in India.
The best grade depends on the application. OPC 53 Grade is preferred for high-strength structures, while PPC and PSC are better for durability, water resistance, and eco-friendly construction.
No, IS 1489 is the standard for Portland Pozzolana Cement (PPC), which includes fly ash or calcined clay, enhancing durability and reducing environmental impact compared to Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC).
