Innovative and adaptable geosynthetic materials, polypropylene multifilament woven geobags are widely used in a wide range of environmental and civil engineering applications. Weaved polypropylene multifilament fabric, which provides exceptional strength, durability, and resistance to environmental elements, is used to create these geo bags. Slope stability and erosion management are two of the main uses of polypropylene multifilament woven geobags. Because of their sturdy design, they can resist the pressures of rushing water and shield sensitive regions from the devastating effects of erosion. Additionally, polypropylene geo bags are employed in a number of geotechnical applications, including coastal protection and retaining wall building. Polypropylene multifilament woven geobags are a popular option in civil engineering, construction, and environmental protection because to their strength and adaptability.
Geobags used in environmental protection and civil engineering applications must comply with IS 16654:2017 legally. 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 pertaining to the layout, functionality, and performance of polypropylene geo bags. Adherence to these guidelines assists producers in upholding quality control throughout their manufacturing procedures, diminishing discrepancies in the caliber of their output.
Note: Prior to releasing their goods on the Indian market, producers of polypropylene multifilament woven geo bags must get an ISI Mark Certification.
By virtue of their ISI certification, these geobags have passed thorough testing and met strict requirements established by the BIS. These requirements are especially designed to assess the weave structure, tensile strength, and appropriateness of the geobags for geotechnical applications. This certification guarantees that the materials used to make the geo bags are made and intended to successfully retain and stabilize soil and prevent erosion, especially in difficult-to-manage locations like coastal regions, riverbanks, and embankments. Additionally, it attests to the materials' safety for application in environmental protection and civil engineering projects, supporting sustainable land management techniques.
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
