One kind of alloy steel that has carbon and chromium as its main alloying constituents is called carbon-chromium steel. This steel alloy is renowned for having remarkable strength, hardness, and corrosion and wear resistance.
Since carbon-chromium steel has excellent mechanical qualities and is suited for bearing applications, it is frequently used in the production of balls, rollers, and bearing races. Important factors to take into account while producing these bearing components are the surface polish, dimensional accuracy, heat treatment techniques (such as quenching and tempering), and alloy composition. The performance, robustness, and dependability of bearings used in a variety of applications, including aerospace, medical, and industrial gear, are all influenced by these aspects taken together.
Technological breakthroughs, shifts in manufacturing patterns, and the general health of sectors that depend on bearings all affect the need for carbon-chromium steel, which is needed to manufacture balls, rollers, and bearing races.
The bearing industry is based on the requirements for the carbon-chromium steel used in the production of balls, rollers, and bearing races. It guarantees that bearing components are designed in accordance with exact specifications, enabling seamless interchangeability, adherence to rules, and the continued operation of machinery and equipment that depends on bearings.
The required ISI Certification Scheme under IS standard IS 4398: 1994 now includes standards for all carbon-chromium steel used in the production of balls, rollers, and bearing races.
Without the ISI Mark, this product cannot be marketed, imported, or exported into the Indian consumer market.
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.
The following documentation is required to get an ISI certification:

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
