Often referred to as CRNO (Cold Rolled Non-Oriented) steel, cold rolled non-oriented electrical steel sheets and strips are specialty materials used for electrical and electronic applications. These steel products are essential to the manufacturing of electrical components and equipment, especially those that need to have minimal iron loss and high magnetic efficiency.
Electrical transformers, motors, and generators are made from cold-rolled, non-oriented electrical steel sheets and strips. Its significance stems from its capacity to improve electrical machine performance, efficiency, and dependability as well as to lower energy losses and advance technologies based on electromagnetic principles. Energy efficiency and sustainability are becoming more and more important, and CRNO steel is still a crucial material for advancing the electrical and electronics sectors.
Under IS standard IS 648: 2006, all cold rolled non-oriented electrical steel sheets and strip-fully treated type (CRNO) 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
