BIS CERTIFICATION FOR ALUMINIUM COMPOSITE PANELS IS 17682:2021
BIS certification is a prerequisite for aluminum composite panels, regulated by the guidelines specified in IS 17682:2021. These flat panels, commonly referred to as aluminum composite panels (ACP), are crafted by bonding two slim aluminum sheets with a non-aluminum core. Extensively utilized in the construction industry, particularly in architectural projects, ACPs are favored for their visual allure and versatility.
IS 17682:2021 acts as the standard reference for aluminum composite panels, delineating precise criteria and testing procedures for panels utilized in exterior and interior wall cladding applications. This standard encompasses crucial elements like material composition, adhesive strength, coating quality, resistance to weathering, and fire safety measures.
Thanks to its lightweight design and simple installation process, ACP has become a favored option for wall cladding and interior embellishment, presenting an appealing and economical substitute for conventional materials like stone, brick, or glass. Notably, its outstanding resilience against fire, moisture, and UV exposure renders it suitable for a diverse array of indoor and outdoor endeavors, spanning from interior partitions to building exteriors and signage.

As per the directives of IS 17682:2021, inclusion in the ISI certification scheme is now obligatory for all aluminum composite panels. This standard delineates testing procedures alongside manufacturing, chemical, and physical prerequisites to guarantee the excellence and dependability of aluminum composite panels.
It's crucial to emphasize that without the ISI Mark, these items are ineligible for legal marketing, importation, or exportation to the Indian consumer market. This highlights the significance of adhering to established standards and certification procedures.
BIS Certification Process
Acquiring a BIS license entails a detailed evaluation of manufacturing infrastructure, quality control capabilities, testing facilities, and production processes. This thorough assessment guarantees that the products not only meet regulatory standards but also ensure safety and reliability for consumers.
