Geotextiles used for permanent erosion control in hard armor systems are vital components in protecting coastlines, riverbanks and other vulnerable areas from the destructive forces of erosion and wave action. These geotextiles are typically made of durable and erosion-resistant materials designed to withstand harsh environmental conditions. In hard armor erosion control systems, geotextiles serve as an essential layer between the structural armor and the underlying soil or substrate. They act as a filter, allowing water to pass through while preventing the loss of fine soil particles. They also provide separation, preventing the mixing of different materials and maintaining the integrity of the engineered structure.
The Indian Standard IS 16392:2015 lays forth specifications for geotextiles used in hard armor systems to permanently limit erosion. Geotextiles used in erosion control applications frequently have legal requirements to comply with recognized standards such as IS 16392:2015. Producers that follow these guidelines make sure their goods meet legal requirements, which lowers the possibility of legal problems and liabilities.
Note: The mandatory ISI Mark Certification must be obtained by manufacturers of geotextiles intended for long-term erosion control in hard armor systems.
The ISI certification denotes that these geotextiles have passed extensive testing and meet strict requirements established by the BIS. These requirements are especially designed to assess the geotextiles' strength, durability, and appropriateness for use in erosion control applications in difficult locations. This certification guarantees that these geotextile materials are made with the intention of withstanding abrasive pressures, water flow, and severe weather while preserving their structural integrity over an extended period of time. Additionally, it attests to the materials' safety when used in environmental and civil engineering projects that protect infrastructure and landscapes.
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
