Because of its corrosion resistance, durability, and aesthetic appeal, stainless steel is a material of choice for many different industries. It is extensively utilized in industries including manufacturing, transportation, food processing, building, and healthcare.
There are many uses for stainless steel in commercial, industrial, and domestic settings. Stainless steel is available as plates, sheets, and strips. Stainless steel is anticipated to remain significant and see ongoing demand across a range of industries as long as businesses continue to look for materials that offer performance, durability, and corrosion resistance.
Because they guarantee that stainless steel products are produced in accordance with particular criteria and norms, the specifications of stainless steel plates, sheets, and strips are crucial. When appropriate production and inspection procedures are followed, the material should continuously satisfy quality criteria. Its chemical composition must meet the requirements specified in the standard, and it must be devoid of any flaws that might adversely influence its intended application.
Under IS standard IS 6911: 2017, all standards for stainless steel plates, sheets, and strips are covered in the required ISI Certification Scheme.

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.
