Introduction
The Ministry of Commerce and Industry
(Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade) has mandated through
the Footwear made from all-Rubber and
all Polymeric material and its components (Quality Control) Order, 2020
that all manufacturers of Moulded Solid
Rubber Soles and Heels must obtain BIS
certification (ISI Mark) before marketing their products in India. This
certification is based on Indian
Standard IS 5676: 1995, which specifies the quality, performance, and
safety parameters for these products. BIS certification ensures that the soles
and heels meet rigorous quality standards, including durability, elasticity,
and resistance to wear and tear. By complying with these requirements,
manufacturers demonstrate their commitment to providing reliable, high-quality
products to consumers. Non-compliance with this order is punishable under the Bureau of Indian Standards Act, 2016,
underscoring the importance of adhering to the regulations.
Why is BIS Certification
Necessary for Moulded Solid Rubber Soles and Heels?
BIS certification is critical for Moulded Solid Rubber Soles and Heels to ensure that these components meet the prescribed quality and performance standards outlined in IS 5676: 1995. Certification confirms the products’ ability to withstand wear, maintain slip resistance, and offer consistent performance across different footwear applications. The Footwear made from all-Rubber and all Polymeric material and its components (Quality Control) Order, 2020 requires manufacturers to obtain BIS certification to ensure that only safe and high-quality products enter the Indian market. This regulatory framework helps protect consumers from substandard products and encourages manufacturers to adopt best practices in production.
