In today's competitive landscape, maintaining market presence without a certified, high-quality product can be challenging. Obtaining a BIS license may also be essential for selling products in the Indian market. To achieve BIS certification and ensure product quality, manufacturers must adhere to the specified Indian standards.
Let's delve deeper into IS 17609:2021 For Fibre Ropes of Polyester/Polyolefin Dual Fibres. This standard specifies the technical requirements and testing methods for fibre ropes manufactured using polyester and polyolefin dual fibres, covering key parameters such as breaking force, dimensional accuracy, elongation properties, UV resistance, and flexibility.
This standard specifies requirements for 3-strand hawser-laid, 8-strand and 12-strand braided fibre ropes made of polyester in combination with polyolefin, and gives rules for their designation. The standard ensures that fibre ropes made from a combination of polyester and polyolefin meet stringent quality, strength, and durability requirements for various industrial and marine applications, with the certification guaranteeing that these ropes undergo rigorous testing for tensile strength, elongation, abrasion resistance, and environmental stability.

Here are the key benefits of getting ISI Mark certification:
Government Quality Assurance: Compliance with IS 17609:2021 signifies a manufacturer's commitment to producing high-quality fibre ropes that adhere to national safety and performance standards.
Mandatory Compliance: BIS certification under IS 17609:2021 is mandatory for fibre ropes to ensure they meet the required safety, strength, and durability standards for industrial and commercial use.
Enhanced Market Competitiveness: A BIS certificate is a crucial step in ensuring product safety, quality, and compliance with regulatory standards, building consumer confidence in the reliability of these products while enhancing the manufacturer's market reputation and credibility.
Consumer Trust: BIS certification ensures that ropes and cordages meet Indian Standards for quality and safety, allowing manufacturers to use the ISI mark.
Long-Term Manufacturing Benefits: The BIS certification process involves rigorous testing, inspections, and adherence to industry standards, leading to improved manufacturing practices over time.

The estimated duration for securing BIS certification for fibre ropes of polyester/polyolefin dual fibres under IS 17609:2021 varies based on the manufacturer’s location and certification route. The typical timelines are outlined below:
| Indian Manufacturers | BIS certification is generally completed within approximately 30 days, subject to successful product testing and documentation verification. |
| Foreign Manufacturers (FMCS Route) | Under the BIS Foreign Manufacturer Certification Scheme (FMCS), the process usually takes around 180 days, considering factory inspection, sample testing, and regulatory approvals. |
Acquiring a BIS license for this product involves submitting an application on the BIS website, undergoing factory inspection, and completing product testing before approval. Samples are tested against IS 17609:2021 requirements covering breaking force, elongation, abrasion resistance, UV resistance, and dimensional accuracy before BIS grants the certification.
