When it comes to improving the sub-grade for building new roads, jute geotextiles have shown to be useful materials that provide a cost-efficient and long-lasting way to improve the resilience and functionality of road infrastructure. Because they are composed of natural jute fibers, these geotextiles are ecologically benign and biodegradable, fitting in with the expanding trend of sustainable building techniques. Jute geotextiles are commonly positioned between the sub-grade soil and the pavement layers or aggregate layers above it in road building.
Their main purpose is to more uniformly distribute traffic-induced stresses, which increases the subgrade's stability and load-bearing capability. They assist prevent rutting, settlement, and deformation by strengthening the sub-grade, which prolongs the life of the road and lowers maintenance expenses. IS 14715 (First Part) Geotextiles used in road construction and restoration must comply with regulations as of 2016. Producers that follow these guidelines make sure their goods meet legal requirements, which lowers the possibility of legal problems and liabilities. The standard lays forth a number of technical specifications for the planning, building, and functionality of jute geotextiles used for subgrade reinforcement. Adherence to these guidelines assists producers in upholding quality control throughout their manufacturing procedures, diminishing discrepancies in the caliber of their output.
Note: To enhance the sub-grade in roadways, manufacturers of Part 1 jute geotextiles must get the required ISI Mark Certification.
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 reinforcing applications. With this certification, you can be confident that the jute geotextile materials are made and intended to transmit loads efficiently, stabilize subgrade soil, and improve the overall performance of roads. Additionally, it demonstrates that these materials are safe to employ in road building projects, enhancing the roads' and other road infrastructure's structural integrity, longevity, and safety.
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.
The following documentation is required to get an ISI certification:

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
