Reinforced HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) membrane is a reliable and adaptable option for industrial containment and environmental protection. It is especially made for effluent containment and chemical resistant lining applications. Because of its remarkable chemical resistance and impermeability, the core layer of HDPE used in the construction of these membranes is particularly successful in preventing the migration of dangerous substances such as acids, bases, and industrial chemicals. In order to provide durability in demanding settings, the reinforcement in these membranes usually consists of layers of geotextiles or fabrics that improve their strength, tear resistance, and puncture resistance. Throughout the membrane's service life and during installation, this reinforcement aids in preventing mechanical damage.
HDPE membranes are widely utilized in secondary containment systems, chemical storage facilities, landfills, and industrial wastewater storage for both chemical resistance and effluent containment purposes. The Indian Standard IS 17374:2020 lays forth specifications for reinforced HDPE membranes that are utilized for chemical resistance and effluent lining applications. Adherence to IS 17374:2020 assists producers in creating reinforced HDPE membranes that satisfy certain safety and quality standards, hence mitigating the likelihood of chemical spills, leaks, and environmental dangers. Producers that follow these guidelines make sure their goods meet legal requirements, which lowers the possibility of legal problems and liabilities.
Note: Prior to entering the Indian market, producers of reinforced HDPE membranes intended for chemical resistance and effluent lining must get the required ISI Mark Certification.
The ISI certification means that these membranes have passed strict testing and meet the high standards established by the BIS. These standards are especially designed to assess the membranes' overall performance, durability, and chemical resistance. With their ability to efficiently endure exposure to a wide range of corrosive chemicals guaranteed by this certification, these membranes are essential for use in industries such as wastewater treatment, chemical processing, and environmental protection.
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
