BIS Certification Requirements for Polyurethane in India
13. December 2024The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) has established mandatory certification for polyurethane (PU) products under the Polyurethanes Quality Control Order. To comply, manufacturers must ensure their products meet the specifications outlined in IS 17397 (Part 1): 2020 or ISO 16365-1: 2014. This certification covers essential quality parameters, including performance, durability, and safety. Under Scheme-I of Schedule-II of the BIS Conformity Assessment Regulations, 2018, polyurethane products must bear the BIS Standard Mark to be approved for import and sale in India.
Initially introduced in September 2021, the Quality Control Order was amended in September 2024, setting March 19, 2025, as the deadline for mandatory implementation. The BIS certification applies to all types of polyurethane, whether thermosetting or thermoplastic, and is crucial for applications in adhesives, coatings, and synthetic fibers. Compliance with BIS certification ensures that polyurethane products meet the required standards for quality and safety, providing manufacturers with market access while maintaining regulatory compliance.
