The synthetic rubber polymer known as styrene-butadiene rubber latex, or SBR latex, is made up of two major monomers: butadiene and styrene. This combination produces an emulsion form of SBR. Its amazing qualities, including as exceptional adhesion, flexibility, durability, and water resistance, have led to its establishment as a multipurpose material used for waterproofing. SBR latex is still a vital material in many sectors because of its affordability and adaptability. It is extensively utilized in building materials, textiles, paper coatings, adhesives, and dipped items.
It is a vital substance for producers in a variety of industries, including construction, textiles, paper and packaging, and more, due to its capacity to improve material qualities, promote adhesion, and support sustainable practices. Its versatility in a range of applications and its contribution to the creation of environmentally friendly products are what keep it relevant in today's business.
Under IS standard IS 11356:2020, every styrene-butadiene rubber latex is now required to be certified by the ISI.
The requirements and methods for testing and sampling styrene-butadiene rubber latex are described in this standard.
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.

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
