When it comes to preventing bank erosion in rivers and other waterways, jute geotextiles provide a practical and sustainable technique to stop riverbank erosion and scouring. Because they are composed of natural jute fibers, jute geotextiles are sustainable and biodegradable, according to eco-friendly principles. Applying these geotextiles to riverbanks creates a barrier that stops soil erosion and promotes the growth and development of plants. Jute geotextiles' open, flexible form allows them to absorb water's energy and lessen the riverbank's erosive effects. They also help to stabilize the soil by encouraging the formation of roots and provide support to plants.
The Indian Standard IS 14715 (Part 2):2016 lays forth specifications for jute geotextiles used to prevent bank erosion in rivers and waterways. This standard lays forth a number of technical specifications for the performance, design, and manufacture of jute geotextiles used to prevent bank erosion. It lessens variances in product quality by assisting firms in upholding quality control in their production operations. Geotextiles used in erosion control applications are legally required to adhere to these set requirements. Producers that follow these guidelines make sure their goods meet legal requirements, which lowers the possibility of legal problems and liabilities.
Note: Obtaining the required ISI Mark Certification is a requirement for manufacturers of Part 2 jute geotextiles used to reduce bank erosion in rivers and waterways.
In order to prevent erosion and preserve the stability of riverbanks and watercourse embankments, jute geotextile materials must be ISI certified. This certification is a crucial step in the quality assurance process. It means that these geotextiles have passed rigorous testing and meet the strict requirements specified by the BIS. These requirements are especially designed to assess the weave structure, strength, and appropriateness of the materials for use in bank erosion control applications.
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
