A polyvinyl chloride (PVC) sandal is a kind of footwear in which the foot is covered by the upper portion of the sandal. Synthetic plastics like PVC are renowned for their strength and pliability, which makes them ideal for a variety of goods, including shoes. In order to provide comfort and style, PVC sandals usually have straps or other designs that securely keep the foot in place.
These sandals are frequently selected for their water resistance and ease of maintenance. They may feature heels, solid PVC soles, or both. PVC sandals are frequently worn for daily wear in warm weather or for informal, recreational activities like visiting the beach or swimming pool. Because they are inexpensive and available in a variety of designs, such as flip-flops and slides, they are a well-liked option.
Under IS standard IS 6721:2023, all PVC sandals are now covered by the obligatory ISI Certification Scheme.
This standard describes the requirements, sample techniques, and testing protocols that apply to PVC sandals made using injection molding.
It is important to ensure that there are no shrinkage, scorching, warping, or cold flow signs during the production of the PVC sandals. The base material used in the construction of the PVC sandals must meet the physical requirements specified in the standard. Both the supplier and the customer should approve the sandals' design.
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.
