Vinyl acetate monomer, or VAM for short, is an organic molecule. It has a colorless liquid and a fruity, pleasant smell. When acetic acid reacts with ethylene or acetylene in the presence of a catalyst, volatile amino acid monomers (VAM) are created. It is extensively employed in the manufacturing of several coatings, resins, and polymers. It also functions as an essential component of many different kinds of water-based polymers.
An essential raw ingredient used in the production of textiles, paints, and adhesives is vinyl acetate monomer. It is also essential to the manufacturing of paper, leather, and plastics. This significant chemical has a wide range of uses in several sectors.
The vinyl acetate monomer market was estimated to be worth USD 5.75 billion in 2022 and is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.9% over the course of the forecast period, culminating in USD 8.92 billion by 2030. The need for adhesives and paints, as well as their application in a variety of consumer and industrial products, are the main factors driving this expansion.
According to IS standard IS 12345:1988, every vinyl acetate monomer is now covered by the required ISI Certification Scheme.
This standard describes the particular specifications and offers instructions on how to sample and test vinyl acetate monomer. The substance ought to be a colorless, clear liquid that is devoid of any suspended particles.
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 1987:1988. 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
