One kind of engineered wood product that is especially created and produced to fulfill particular performance and structural criteria is structural plywood. It is frequently utilized in construction for tasks requiring a high degree of durability, stability, and strength. The requirements and standards that structural plywood must fulfill in order to be used in building and construction projects are described in the specification. The quality of structural plywood is assigned a grade, with each grade denoting the permissible amount of flaws and irregularities. A, B, C, and D are typical grades; A represents the best quality, while D indicates more flaws.
The performance, safety, and quality of structural plywood produced in India are significantly influenced by the IS Standard IS 10701:2012 for structural plywood - specification. The requirements for plywood meant for structural uses such as sheathing, silos, plywood web beams, stressed skin panels, rail containers, and ship containers are described in this standard. Manufacturers are guaranteed to create structural plywood that satisfies strict quality criteria when they comply with IS 10701:2012. By following this standard, plywood with the required strength and durability may be manufactured, reducing the possibility of accidents or structural failures in buildings and infrastructure projects.
Note: Obtaining the necessary ISI Mark Certification is mandatory for manufacturers of structural plywood specifications.
The quality, dependability, and safety of structural plywood used in building projects are guaranteed by ISI Certification. This certification is necessary to ensure that the plywood products meet the required performance requirements, safety guidelines, and standards, which will eventually improve the durability and safety of built structures. It emphasizes a manufacturer's dedication to providing plywood solutions that surpass the strict BIS quality and safety criteria.
Indian Standards Institute, or ISI was renamed the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) in 1987. The official mark that the Bureau of Indian Standards provides for manufacturers of various goods is the ISI Mark. It is used to indicate compliance with Indian standards (IS) set by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) and has been used as a conformity marking for industrial products. Manufacturers received permission from BIS to use the ISI Mark on items that comply with relevant Indian requirements through the product certification program.
Only manufacturers (domestic or foreign) who produce the finished product will be awarded ISI Certification. This will not be given to any product importers, traders, dealers, or distributors.

There are two approaches for Indian manufacturers to become certified with the ISI Mark:
Regular Procedure
With the possible exception of cases deemed "All India first," which might take up to 180 days, the licensing procedure is expected to be finished in 120 days. This timeline starts on the day the application is received, assuming that at different points in time the documentation, unit assessment, and product conformance are all deemed acceptable.
Step 1: Manufacturing Unit Customization in Compliance with Applicable Indian Standards
Step 2: Submission of the Application Form

Simplified Procedure
This is a much faster process than the standard procedure. After a factory inspection is deemed satisfactory and the initial evaluation establishes that the sample complies with the applicable Indian Standard(s), the license application process is expected to be finished in 30 days.
Step 1: Adapting the Manufacturing Unit to Comply with the Relevant Indian Standard
Step 2: Sample Testing
