BIS Certification for Plywood IS 303:2024 - Merino Industries Limited, Bahadurgarh, Jhajjar, Haryana | Standphill India

Standphill India successfully completed BIS ISI Mark certification under IS 303:2024 for Merino Industries Limited - a plywood manufacturer based at 44 KM Stone, Delhi Rohtak Road, Village Rohad, Bahadurgarh, Jhajjar, Haryana 124501. The BIS license bearing number 0009485196 was officially granted on September 15, 2026, with License Operative status. Standphill India managed the complete certification process from factory assessment to final license grant.

Merino Industries Limited is one of India's most recognised names in laminates, plywood, and surface solutions - a large-format manufacturer with a long-standing presence in India's interior and construction materials market. Their facility on the Delhi Rohtak Road at Village Rohad, Bahadurgarh sits within Jhajjar district, Haryana - directly on the industrial corridor connecting Delhi to Rohtak, one of the most active manufacturing and distribution routes in North India. Bahadurgarh's proximity to Delhi's vast furniture, interior, and construction supply chains makes it a strategic production base for plywood and panel products serving the NCR market and beyond.

Merino Industries' IS 303:2024 certification covers plywood across a comprehensive grade and type matrix - both MR (Moisture Resistant) and BWR (Boiling Water Resistant) grades, across Type AA, AB, and BB face quality classifications. This breadth of certified product scope reflects the full range of general purpose plywood applications the Indian market demands - from premium furniture-grade AA face panels to cost-effective BB type construction and shuttering applications. BIS certification under IS 303:2024 ensures every certified plywood panel meets India's mandatory bond quality, mechanical performance, and dimensional standards - maintaining Merino's position as a trusted, specification-compliant supplier across retail, trade, and institutional channels.

IS 303:2024 is the Bureau of Indian Standards mandatory specification for plywood for general purposes - the fourth revision of this foundational Indian Standard, covering veneer bond quality, mechanical performance, dimensional tolerances, moisture content, and marking requirements for both MR and BWR grade plywood across all face quality types.

Key requirements include bond quality testing - the primary performance differentiator between MR and BWR grades, with MR grade plywood required to withstand cold water soaking and BWR grade required to withstand boiling water immersion without delamination; tensile strength in shear; modulus of rupture and modulus of elasticity for structural performance assessment; moisture content limits; thickness, length, width, and squareness tolerances; face veneer quality grading defining the AA, AB, and BB type classifications; and ISI Mark identification on every certified panel.

BIS certification under IS 303:2024 is mandatory. Architects, interior designers, furniture manufacturers, construction contractors, and government procurement agencies specify BIS-certified IS 303:2024 plywood as a standard material requirement - particularly for projects where bond quality and dimensional consistency are critical to end-use performance.

Plywood is a critical raw material for India's furniture manufacturing industry. If you are a furniture manufacturer who also needs BIS certification for chairs, tables, beds, storage units, or bunk beds under the Furniture Quality Control Order 2025 - Standphill India manages that too:

If your plywood manufacturing unit is still operating without a valid IS 303:2024 BIS license - government construction tenders, CPWD projects, institutional furniture procurement, and regulated developers will not accept your product. The supply chain that matters most to plywood manufacturers runs on BIS-certified material. Without your license, you are not a qualified supplier to it.

If you are in the furniture supply chain - plywood is your raw material and furniture is your finished product. The Furniture Quality Control Order 2025 has made BIS certification mandatory for six furniture categories: work chairs, general purpose chairs and stools, tables and desks, storage units, beds, and bunk beds. If your furniture products fall under any of these categories, you need a BIS ISI Mark license before you can legally sell them in India.

Standphill India manages both - IS 303:2024 for plywood and IS 17631 to IS 17636 for furniture under the QCO 2025. One partner for the complete supply chain compliance picture.
