Steels that have undergone mechanical processing to reach their final forms include low alloy and wrought carbon steels. Iron and carbon make up the majority of carbon steel, which is highly durable and reasonably priced. Conversely, low alloy steel is made with trace quantities of extra alloying elements to give it certain characteristics.
Particularly wrought carbon and low alloy steels, these types of steels are specifically engineered to perform well in procedures that shape or form metal components at or near room temperature without requiring significant heating. These operations are known as cold heading or cold extrusion applications. These steels are extremely important to sectors including automotive, construction, fastener manufacture, and others that need to produce components precisely and economically. Low alloy and wrought carbon steels are essential to the efficiency, sustainability, and quality of products produced in today's industrial processes.
Under IS standard - IS 11169 (Part 1): 1984, all steels for cold heading or cold extrusion application part-1 wrought carbon and low alloy steels have been included in 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
