Tile adhesives are specially
formulated bonding agents used to fix ceramic, mosaic, and stone tiles onto
various surfaces. Given the diversity in tiles, substrates, and installation
environments, the need for specialized adhesives becomes critical. These
adhesives must meet specific standards to ensure durability, safety, and performance,
and that’s where BIS certification
comes into play.
The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS), the national standards body of India, has mandated that tile adhesives comply with IS 15477:2019, a standard that specifies the performance requirements and classifications for adhesives used in tiling applications.
IS 15477:2019 is the Indian Standard
that outlines specifications for adhesives used in the installation of:
This standard covers adhesives for
both interior and exterior applications, ensuring compatibility with a wide
range of materials and surfaces.
To qualify for BIS certification, tile
adhesives must undergo rigorous testing on parameters such as:
These tests ensure that the adhesive performs well under real-world conditions and meets safety and quality benchmarks.
Tile adhesives are used across
residential, commercial, and industrial settings for wall, floor, ceiling, and
countertop installations. Their ability to provide a secure, water-resistant
bond makes them essential for modern construction and interior design projects.
Key benefits of BIS certification:
To obtain the ISI mark under IS 15477:2019,
