Cast carbon steel Through the casting process, intermediate forms of steel are created, including billet ingots, billets, blooms, and slabs. They are changed by a number of production techniques, including as forging, hot rolling, and cold rolling. These semi-finished steel products are used as raw materials for additional manufacturing and processing to create completed goods that, especially for general structural applications, fulfill precise specifications for size, form, and strength.
Ingots, billets, blooms, and slabs of carbon steel cast billet are essential parts of the steel industry's supply chain, facilitating global industrial output, infrastructural construction, and economic expansion. These components help to create robust, adaptable, and long-lasting steel products that are utilized in a variety of industries, from the production of machinery to the construction of buildings.
According to IS standard IS 2830: 2012, all carbon steel cast billet ingots, billets, blooms, and slabs for rerolling into steel for general structural purposes are covered by the required ISI Certification Scheme.
Without the ISI Mark, this product cannot be marketed, imported, or exported into the Indian consumer market.
Indian Standards Institute, or ISI was renamed the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) in 1987. The official mark that the Bureau of Indian Standards provides for manufacturers of various goods is the ISI Mark. It is used to indicate compliance with Indian standards (IS) set by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) and has been used as a conformity marking for industrial products. Manufacturers received permission from BIS to use the ISI Mark on items that comply with relevant Indian requirements through the product certification program.
Only manufacturers (domestic or foreign) who produce the finished product will be awarded ISI Certification. This will not be given to any product importers, traders, dealers, or distributors.

With the possible exception of cases deemed "All India first," which might take up to 180 days, the licensing procedure is expected to be finished in 120 days. This timeline starts on the day the application is received, assuming that at different points in time the documentation, unit assessment, and product conformance are all deemed acceptable.
Step 1: Manufacturing Unit Customization in Compliance with Applicable Indian Standards
Step 2: Submission of the Application Form

Simplified Procedure
This is a much faster process than the standard procedure. After a factory inspection is deemed satisfactory and the initial evaluation establishes that the sample complies with the applicable Indian Standard(s), the license application process is expected to be finished in 30 days.
Step 1: Adapting the Manufacturing Unit to Comply with the Relevant Indian Standard
Step 2: Sample Testing
