Introduction

Under the Quality Control Order 2023, DPIIT mandates BIS certification for Styrene-Butadiene Rubber Latex as per IS 11356:2020, effective from January 1, 2024. The certification ensures that only high-quality SBR Latex is marketed in India. This aligns with the government's commitment to standardizing industrial materials and enhancing product safety for various applications, including automotive and construction industries.

Why BIS Certification is Necessary for Styrene-Butadiene Rubber Latex

BIS certification for Styrene-Butadiene Rubber Latex (SBR Latex) ensures that the product meets the stringent requirements of IS 11356:2020, offering quality assurance, uniformity, and consistency in key properties like elasticity, bonding strength, and stability. This certification guarantees that the latex adheres to established safety and performance standards, making it reliable for critical industrial applications such as adhesives, coatings, and textiles. Compliance with these standards also ensures regulatory adherence, with penalties for non-compliance under the Bureau of Indian Standards Act, 2016.

Overview of Indian Standard IS 11356:2020

IS 11356:2020 outlines the quality requirements for Styrene-Butadiene Rubber Latex (SBR Latex), including specifications for the composition and molecular structure, with defined proportions of styrene and butadiene to ensure optimal performance. The standard also covers viscosity and stability, ensuring that the latex maintains consistent performance in various industrial applications. It specifies the minimum solids content required to guarantee proper adhesion and elasticity, along with mechanical properties like tensile strength and elongation at break, ensuring the latex is suitable for diverse uses such as coatings, adhesives, and elastomers.

Process for BIS Certification for Styrene-Butadiene Rubber Latex

1. Application Submission: Manufacturers submit an application along with required documents to BIS.
2. Documentation Review: BIS reviews the documentation to verify compliance with IS 11356:2020.
3. Factory Inspection: BIS officials inspect the manufacturing process to assess quality control measures and production capabilities.
4. Sample Testing: Product samples are tested in BIS-approved laboratories for conformity with IS standards.
5. Certification Grant: After successful inspection and testing, BIS grants certification, allowing the use of the ISI mark on SBR Latex products.
