Mild steel wire is a kind of steel wire with a low carbon content, usually less than 0.3% carbon, and is mostly made of iron. Because of its price, ease of production, and versatility, it is one of the materials utilized in engineering and manufacturing the most. Due to its qualities, it can be used for a wide range of tasks, from large-scale industrial and construction projects to smaller-scale do-it-yourself projects.
Because mild steel wire is versatile, affordable, user-friendly, and appropriate for a broad range of applications, it is indispensable in general engineering. The fact that it facilitates manufacturing, building, safety, and the development of infrastructure highlights its importance in engineering projects of all sizes. For many technical tasks, its suitability for shaping and welding makes it the preferable option.
In general engineering, the need for mild steel wire is directly correlated with industrial activity, construction projects, and economic trends.
Under IS standard IS 280: 2006, all kinds of mild steel wire used for common engineering purposes are covered by the required ISI Certification Scheme.
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.

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
