Steel that has been cold-rolled into thin, flat sheets or strips is known as cold-rolled carbon steel strips. In this manufacturing process, hot-rolled steel is reduced in thickness and has its surface polish improved by being run through a series of rollers at room temperature. The steel strips receive additional mechanical and dimensional qualities via cold rolling.
Specialized materials called cold-rolled carbon steel strips are frequently utilized in the production of roller and ball bearing retainers and cages. These strips are designed to fulfill strict quality criteria, guaranteeing the smooth and effective operation of bearings in a variety of applications across many sectors, including industrial machinery, automotive, and aerospace.
The bearing industry, production trends, and market circumstances all have an impact on the need for cold-rolled carbon steel strips, which are used to make ball and roller bearing cages and retainers.
In order to preserve the quality, accuracy, and performance of bearings used in a variety of industries, cold-rolled carbon steel strip standards for ball and roller bearing cages or retainers are essential. In the end, it contributes to the effectiveness and dependability of machinery and equipment that depend on bearings by facilitating precision manufacture, encouraging interchangeability, enhancing durability, and adhering to industry standards.
According to IS standard IS 4397: 1999, all varieties of cold-rolled carbon steel strips for ball and roller bearing cages or retainers 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.

There are two approaches for Indian manufacturers to become certified with the ISI Mark:
Regular Procedure
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
