Thermosetting insulated fire survival cables are a specialist type of electrical cables developed for outstanding dependability and safety, especially in high-risk areas. They are designed for operating voltages up to and including 1100V AC and 1500V DC. Because the insulating materials used in the construction of these cables have undergone thermal setting or curing, they are extremely heat- and flame-resistant. They are frequently used in applications like fire alarms, emergency lights, and communication systems where a steady supply of energy is essential for safety and emergency systems. These cables are essential in circumstances where protecting people and property is of utmost importance. Their ability to endure fire and sustain electrical performance provides a strong option for fire survival and guarantees continuing operation in emergency situations.
Manufacturers place a great deal of attention on IS 17505 (Part 1):2021 for thermosetting insulated, fire survival cables for working voltage up to and including 1100V AC and 1500V DC. By guaranteeing that the cables fulfill particular fire resistance requirements, adherence to IS 17505 (Part 1):2021 lowers the possibility of electrical malfunctions or fires in crucial applications. By producing dependable cables that function as intended in the event of a fire, manufacturers that adhere to this guideline may guarantee the safety of the inhabitants. Producers can comply with IS 17505 (Part 1):2021 while making cables, which will help them stay out of trouble with the law and guarantee that their goods are sold.
Note: The necessary ISI Mark Certification must be obtained by manufacturers of thermosetting insulated fire-resistant cables for operating voltages up to and including 1100V AC and 1500V DC.
The ISI Certification emphasizes how crucial quality and compliance are in the field of electrical cables, particularly for those meant for uses where electrical safety and fire resistance are crucial. By virtue of this certification, these cables are guaranteed to meet strict quality standards, safety requirements, and technical standards, hence enhancing the resilience and safety of the electrical systems in which they are placed. It guarantees the integrity and safety of electrical systems, even in the face of fire hazards, to industries like construction, telecommunications infrastructure, and power generation and distribution. These industries benefit from the assurance that the cables they use in their projects are of the highest quality.
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
