One kind of steel product produced by the hot rolling process is hot rolled carbon steel strip. In order to decrease thickness and shape the steel billet or slab into a strip with precise dimensions, it is heated to high temperatures and then passed through a succession of rolling mills.
For cold rolling, hot rolled carbon steel strip is an intermediate material that goes through additional cold rolling steps to get the right dimensional and surface properties needed for a variety of industries, such as electronics, automotive, construction, and appliances. Because it can achieve exact dimensional tolerances, surface cleanliness, and strength while retaining cost effectiveness, this form of steel strip is extremely important. It is essential for producing vital parts and goods for a variety of applications due to its adaptability, customizability, and consistency.
The requirements of diverse sectors, the state of the economy, advances in technology, and environmental concerns all have an impact on the demand for hot rolled carbon steel strips for cold rolling applications. Trade regulations, market dynamics, and local economic situations all have an impact on demand.
According to IS standard IS 11513: 2017, all hot rolled carbon steel strip intended for cold rolling is 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
