Because of its exceptional strength, endurance, and load-bearing capabilities, structural steel is a kind of steel utilized in engineering and construction. Buildings, bridges, factories, skyscrapers, and other infrastructure projects all make extensive use of it.
Ship hulls are built using structural steel that is especially engineered and selected to satisfy the rigorous specifications of maritime applications. Extreme circumstances, such as exposure to seawater, large loads, and dynamic stresses from movement and waves, are all applied to ship hulls. Because of this, the structural steel that is utilized needs to have particular qualities in order to guarantee the vessel's endurance, safety, and seaworthiness.
For the ship to be safe, strong, and intact, the structural steel requirements that are employed in its hull construction are essential. Usually, international standards, classification groups, and laws specify these requirements. To guarantee that the steel used in ship hull construction satisfies the requisite quality and safety criteria for its intended use in the maritime sector, adherence to these specifications and regulatory standards is vital.
The required ISI Certification Scheme under IS standard IS 3039: 1988 now includes all structural steel parameters for ship hull construction.
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
