Let’s say you manufacture fibre cement flat sheets.
You’ve invested in machinery. You’ve sourced cement, fibre, additives. You’ve built a dealer network. Orders are coming in.
Then someone tells you: “You can’t sell this without BIS.”
At first, it sounds like just another certification. But it isn’t.
Under the Asbestos or Fibre Cement based Products (Quality Control) Order, 2024, issued by the Ministry of Commerce and Industry under the Bureau of Indian Standards Act, 2016, fibre cement flat sheets covered under IS 14862:2000 must carry the ISI mark. No mark, no sale.
That’s the reality.
This order was notified in March 2024. A transition window was given. Now compliance is enforceable. If you manufacture in India, you need a BIS licence. If you import, the foreign manufacturer needs BIS approval before the goods can legally enter the market.
There’s no grey area here.
When you hear “IS 14862:2000,” don’t think paperwork. Think performance.
Your sheets must meet specific technical requirements. Not in theory — in measurable, testable form.
The standard checks things like:
If your sheet cracks under bending load before the required value, it fails.
If dimensions vary beyond permitted tolerance, it fails.
If density is inconsistent, it raises concerns.
This isn’t about aesthetics. It’s about structural reliability.
Fibre cement flat sheets are used in partitions, ceilings, wall cladding, flooring bases. If they fail, the building suffers. That’s why the government stepped in.
You might think, “Let’s see if enforcement is strict.”
That’s a risky mindset.
Under the Bureau of Indian Standards Act, selling a product covered under a Quality Control Order without certification can lead to:
It also damages credibility with contractors and institutional buyers.
In construction, reputation travels fast.

If you decide to comply (and you should), here’s what you’re stepping into.
First, confirm your product truly falls under IS 14862:2000. Fibre cement flat sheets used in construction are covered. If you manufacture variants, sizes, or different thickness categories, you need to understand grouping rules properly.
Second, testing.
You will send product samples from your actual production line to a BIS-recognised laboratory. Not prototype samples. Not specially prepared sheets. Production samples.
The lab will test:
If something doesn’t meet limits, you go back, adjust your process, and retest.
That’s normal. Many manufacturers go through this correction stage.
Third, documentation.
This part frustrates many businesses.
You need to prepare:
And it must match your actual factory floor.
If BIS sees that your paperwork says one thing but your operations show another, they will question it.
Fourth, you apply through the BIS Manak Online portal.
Fifth, inspection.
BIS officers visit your factory. They don’t just check machines. They review systems. They look at how you record production. How you test batches. How you store raw materials. Whether your calibration certificates are valid.
They may draw fresh samples during inspection.
Only after they are satisfied will they grant the Certification Mark Licence.
That licence allows you to use the ISI mark legally.
You don’t get certified and relax.
BIS conducts surveillance inspections. That means your quality must remain consistent.
You must:
If standards slip, your licence can be suspended.
Certification is ongoing discipline.

Let me be honest with you.
Most delays don’t happen because the standard is impossible. They happen because preparation is incomplete.
Common issues:
All of these are preventable.
But only if someone reviews your setup properly before application.
You can handle BIS registration on your own.
But if this is your first time, expect questions. Technical clarifications. Revisions. Possible re-testing.
Agile Regulatory helps you avoid that cycle.
BIS certification for fibre cement flat sheets under IS 14862:2000 is not just another regulatory checkbox. It’s now a legal requirement under the Asbestos or Fibre Cement based Products (Quality Control) Order, 2024.
It protects your customers.
It protects your brand.
And frankly, it protects you from regulatory trouble.
If you want the process handled with foresight instead of guesswork, speak with Agile Regulatory. The right preparation can turn a stressful certification into a controlled, manageable process.
