BIS ISI Mark Certification for Acetic Acid - IS 695:2020

Ensure purity, safety, and regulatory compliance with expert help from Standphill India.

Acetic Acid is a critical industrial chemical used across pharmaceuticals, food processing, textiles, agrochemicals, and more. Due to its wide applications and potential health risks if improperly manufactured, the Indian government has made BIS ISI certification mandatory under IS 695:2020.

If you're a manufacturer or importer of Acetic Acid in India, you must obtain BIS certification to legally sell or distribute it. That’s where Standphill India provides unmatched support.

What Is IS 695:2020?

IS 695:2020 is the Indian Standard for Acetic Acid (Technical Grade). It specifies the required chemical composition, purity, permissible limits of impurities, physical properties, and packaging standards.

Key parameters include minimum acetic acid content

Maximum allowed levels of iron, chlorides, sulfates

Appearance, solubility, and odor requirements

These standards ensure that acetic acid is safe for industrial use, consistent in quality, and non-hazardous when handled properly.

Why BIS Certification Is Mandatory


Under the Quality Control Orders (QCOs) issued by the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT), Acetic Acid has been included in the mandatory BIS certification list.

This means:

Only ISI-marked Acetic Acid can be manufactured, stored, sold, or imported in India.

Non-compliance is a legal offense under the BIS Act, 2016.

Certification is crucial for business in B2B sectors, exports, tenders, and e-commerce.
