Geotextiles provide efficient reinforcement and enhanced performance in road construction, making them essential elements in sub-grade stabilization for pavement systems. In order to improve the structural integrity of the sub-grade layer, these specialty textiles which are made of sturdy materials are positioned strategically inside pavement systems. Geotextiles are used in sub-grade stabilization to lessen the possibility of rutting, settlement, and deformation by more uniformly dispersing the load from traffic throughout the sub-grade. By enhancing the soil's stability and bearing capacity beneath the pavement, they lessen the long-term harm that large automobiles and traffic loads may inflict.
The Indian Standard IS 16362:2020 lays forth specifications for geotextiles used in pavement constructions for sub-grade stabilization. Geotextiles used in pavement construction must frequently abide with regulatory requirements, such as IS 16362:2020. Producers that follow these guidelines make sure their goods meet legal requirements, which lowers the possibility of legal problems and liabilities. Complying with these guidelines guarantees that the geotextiles can sustain the subgrade and enhance pavement functionality.
Note: The necessary ISI Mark Certification must be obtained by producers of geotextiles used in pavement constructions for sub-grade stabilization.
The ISI certification denotes that these geotextiles have passed extensive testing and meet the strict requirements established by the BIS. These requirements are especially designed to assess the geotextiles' strength, durability, and appropriateness for use in sub-grade stabilization applications. By efficiently reinforcing and stabilizing sub-grade layers, this certification guarantees that the geotextile materials are made to minimize the impacts of soil movement, load-bearing tension, and environmental variables on pavements. Additionally, it attests to the materials' safety for usage in road building projects, enhancing the performance, longevity, and general safety of pavements and roads.
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
