BIS Certification for Adhesive for Ceramic, Mosaic and Stone Tiles

IS 15477:2019 - Adhesives for Use with Ceramic Tiles and Mosaics - specifies the requirements, classification, and testing methods for cement-based adhesives used in fixing ceramic tiles, mosaic tiles, and natural or engineered stone tiles to substrates. The standard defines adhesive types and performance classes based on porosity, setting characteristics, and intended application conditions - ensuring the right adhesive is used for the right tile type and environment.

The BIS ISI Mark certification process for tile adhesives under IS 15477:2019 follows five defined stages under Product Certification Scheme I of Schedule II. Standphill India manages every stage - from your factory floor to the licence document.

• Step 1 - Documentation: Factory layout, process flow chart, equipment list with calibration certificates, Quality Assurance Plan, in-house test records, and raw material declarations prepared to BIS audit standard
• Step 2 - Application Submission: Application filed on BIS ManakOnline portal under Scheme I of Schedule II with all supporting documents and government fees
• Step 3 - BIS Factory Audit: BIS officer inspects manufacturing processes, in-house testing laboratory, calibration records, and QA documentation at your facility
• Step 4 - Sample Testing: Product samples tested at BIS-recognised or NABL-accredited laboratory against all IS 15477:2019 parameters - tensile adhesion, slip resistance, open time, water resistance, and workability
• Step 5 - Grant of Licence: BIS issues the ISI Mark licence (CM/L- number) upon satisfactory audit and test results. Products can carry the ISI Mark and be sold in India

The timeline for obtaining BIS ISI Mark certification under IS 15477:2019 differs for Indian manufacturers (Scheme I - domestic audit) and foreign manufacturers (FMCS - overseas factory inspection). Both routes are managed end-to-end by Standphill India.
