ISI / BIS Certification for High density polyethylene (HDPE) laminated woven lay flat tube for use in mains and submains of drip irrigation system

A specific kind of irrigation tubing intended for effective water distribution in agricultural and horticultural contexts is the high density polyethylene (HDPE) laminated weave lie flat tube. The woven fabric used to make these tubes is comprised of HDPE, a material renowned for its resilience to weather conditions and longevity. Because of its "lay flat" construction, the tube is simple to roll up for storage and transit and to lie flat while distributing water. Water is sent to crops and plants through these tubes, guaranteeing that they get the moisture they require for strong development. The tube's resilience and moisture protection are increased by the laminated layer, which also makes it appropriate for prolonged outdoor usage. 

Water is effectively transferred to different areas of the field with the help of HDPE laminated weave lie flat tubes, which are used in drip irrigation systems' mains and submains. They are crucial for contemporary agricultural methods, where water conservation and well-manicured irrigation are crucial because to their versatility, robustness, and efficiency.

The market for these tubes is probably going to be robust as long as sustainable farming methods and effective water usage are prioritized.

Under IS 16627: 2017, all high-density polyethylene (HDPE) laminated weave lay flat tubes intended for use in drip irrigation systems' mains and sub mains are now required to be part of the ISI Certification Scheme. 

For use in drip irrigation systems' mains and sub mains, this standard specifies constructional, performance, and additional criteria for high-density polyethylene (HDPE) laminated weave lay flat tubes. Sprinkler systems should not use these 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)
• Conducting product sample testing at a BIS-recognized testing laboratory
