Personal protective equipment Part-4 Occupational Footwear

IS Standard : IS 15298 (Part-4):2017

Occupational footwear is a unique category of specialized footwear that is made to fulfill the demands of different industries and professions with regard to comfort, safety, and performance. The capacity of industrial footwear to shield employees from workplace dangers and to support and soothe them throughout extended workdays is what makes it so important. It boosts employees' productivity and sense of fulfillment at work in addition to ensuring their safety and wellbeing.

One of the most important pieces of personal protection equipment (PPE) that protects workers from various hazards such as electrical hazards, sharp objects, and the possibility of slipping and falling is occupational footwear. These shoes are frequently used in a variety of industrial environments, mostly by workers who do production-related tasks.

Owing to the necessity to maintain workplace safety, protect employees from certain risks, and comply with safety standards, there is a need for occupational footwear. The market for work footwear is anticipated to continue to be strong as awareness of safety concerns rises.

Under IS standard - IS 15298 (Part-4):2017, any occupational footwear that complies with Part 4 of the Personal Protection Equipment standard is required to be certified by ISI.

This standard describes the essential and additional requirements for work footwear that includes safety features to reduce the possibility of accidents leading to injury. The footwear needs to fulfill the necessary requirements mentioned in the standard and have to conform to one of the designated designs.

Without the ISI Mark, this product cannot be marketed, imported, or exported into the Indian consumer market.

 

About ISI / BIS Certification

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.

  • Regular Procedure
  • Simplified Procedure 

 

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

  • Identifying the applicable Indian Standard
  • Establishing in-house testing facilities as per the Standard's requirements

Step 2: Submission of the Application Form

  • Preparing an Internal Test Report for the product by the relevant Indian Standard
  • Compiling all necessary documents
  • Completing the Online Application Form
