BIS ISI Mark Certification for Fibre Reinforced Cement Products – IS 14871:2000
Fibre reinforced cement (FRC) products are widely used across the Indian construction sector, especially for roofing and cladding applications. These materials are favoured for their durability, weather resistance, and low maintenance. However, to ensure uniform quality and structural safety, the Government of India has mandated that these products must be certified under IS 14871:2000 by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS).
In this guide, we break down the essentials of BIS ISI Mark Certification for fibre reinforced cement products, the steps involved, and how Standphill India simplifies the process for manufacturers and importers.
What is IS 14871:2000?
IS 14871:2000 is the Indian Standard that outlines the specifications for long corrugated or asymmetrical section fibre reinforced cement sheets and fittings used for roofing and cladding.
The standard covers:
Raw material composition
Physical and dimensional requirements
Breaking load capacity
Surface finish and appearance
Performance in durability tests
Compliance ensures that the FRC sheets are suitable for long-term outdoor use under diverse Indian weather conditions.
Why BIS Certification is Mandatory
The Ministry of Commerce and Industry has made ISI mark certification mandatory for FRC products under various Quality Control Orders (QCOs). This is to:
Protect consumers from substandard materials
Improve the safety and longevity of infrastructure
Prevent unfair market practices
If your product is not BIS-certified:
You cannot legally manufacture, sell, or import it in India
You may face penalties, product seizures, or disqualification from government tenders and e-commerce platforms
