ISI / BIS Certification for High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) Laminated Woven Lay Flat Tube and Fittings for use in Rain Irrigation System

In order to efficiently distribute water to crops and plants, flexible, long-lasting tubes are combined with a variety of specialized components or fittings, such as HDPE laminated weave lay flat tubes and fittings. With the help of this technology, crops and plants are guaranteed to get the water they require for strong development and maximum harvests. 

The capacity of HDPE laminated weave lay flat tubes and fittings to support sustainable water usage, boost crop health, lessen environmental impact, and increase agricultural output makes them essential components of rain irrigation systems. Their effectiveness, robustness, and adaptability make them indispensable instruments for contemporary horticultural and agricultural endeavors.

Under IS 17728: 2021, all laminated weave lay flat tubes and fittings made of high density polyethylene (HDPE) that are intended for use in rain irrigation systems are required to be certified by the ISI. 

For use in rainwater irrigation systems, this standard specifies constructional, performance, and additional criteria for lay flat tubes and their fittings made of laminated high-density polyethylene (HDPE).

NOTE - This standard applies to high-density polyethylene (HDPE) laminated woven lay flat tube for use in rain irrigation system. These tubes are laser perforated to replicate the rain effect when used for irrigation of horticulture and agriculture crops. This standard also applies to the fittings used for connecting these perforated lay flat tubes.

Without the ISI Mark, this product cannot be marketed, imported, or exported into the Indian consumer market.

About ISI / BIS Certification

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.

Process of ISI / BIS Certification

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

• Regular Procedure
• Simplified Procedure 

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

• Identifying the applicable Indian Standard
• Establishing in-house testing facilities as per the Standard's requirements

Step 2: Submission of the Application Form

• Preparing an Internal Test Report for the product by the relevant Indian Standard
• Compiling all necessary documents
• Completing the Online Application Form
• Online payment of application fees directly to BIS
• Submitting hard copies of the Application Form with all enclosures to the relevant Branch Office (BO) of BIS

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

• Identifying the applicable Indian Standard
• Establishing in-house testing facilities to meet the Standard's requirements

Step 2: Sample Testing

• Obtaining the necessary certificate for raw materials (Material Test Certificate - MTC)
