Steel wire suspension ropes are strong, durable cables made of many steel wire strands twisted or braided together. They are designed especially to sustain large weights in a variety of applications. These ropes provide a vital foundation in a variety of situations when the capacity to hold a significant amount of weight is required. They provide stability, safety, and solid support. In sectors including construction, mining, marine, and aerospace, their robustness, high tensile strength, and capacity to withstand adverse environments render them important.
Steel wire suspension ropes are essential to the operation of hoists, elevators, and lifts because they provide vital stability and dependability to these vertical transportation systems. In lifts and elevators, these ropes are attached to the elevator car and counterweight to provide safe and regulated vertical travel. They act as the lifting medium for hoists, making it easier to move objects or materials. Steel wire suspension ropes' strength, high load-bearing capacity, and fatigue resistance guarantee the secure and effective functioning of these vertical transport systems, greatly enhancing their dependability and security across a range of commercial, industrial, and residential contexts.
Under IS 2365: 2018, all steel wire suspension ropes used in lifts, elevators, and hoists are now required to be certified by ISI.
Steel wire ropes made especially for lifts, elevators, and hoists used in guided systems for the transportation of people or cargo are included in this standard. Ropes used in mines for winding operations are not covered by this standard.
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
