Bureau of Indian Standards
BIS
IS 694:2010
Licence No. CM/L-8800140116 IS 694:2010 + Amendments 1–4
BIS IS 694:2010 — ISI Mark Licence
Mandatory for all PVC insulated cables up to 1100 V. The licence requires factory inspection, type testing, and regular surveillance audits. The ISI mark and licence number must be printed on the cable and appear in all documentation.
Why it matters for procurement
Required by CPWD, state PWDs, Indian Railways, and most PSU tenders. Licence number is available for tender submissions.

IS 17048:2018
Licence No. CM/L-8800227819 IS 17048:2018 HFFR / LSZH Cable
BIS IS 17048:2018 — Halogen-Free Flame-Retardant Cable
Separate and stricter standard for halogen-free flame-retardant cables up to 1100 V. Requires oxygen index >30%, halogen acid gas <0.5% (IEC 60754-1), and smoke transmittance >60% (IEC 61034-2). This is an independent licence with its own Scheme of Inspection and Testing.
Why it matters for procurement
Hospitals, metros, airports, and data centres now commonly specify IS 17048:2018 rather than FR-LSH under IS 694:2010. Our licence confirms full statutory compliance.

Required by most EPC contractors and large industrial buyers for vendor registration.
Why it matters for procurement
Most EPC contractors and large industrial procurement organisations require ISO 9001:2015 as a vendor qualification criterion, independent of product certification. It demonstrates that quality control is systematic rather than incidental — and that the manufacturer has a documented process for handling non-conforming product before dispatch.

For Procurement Teams

How to use this documentation in your tender process.

Government & PSU tenders
Submit our BIS IS 694:2010 licence number as the mandatory product certification. ISI-marked cable is the standard procurement requirement for CPWD, state PWD, Indian Railways, and most PSU purchase orders. Our licence number is available on request — include it in your tender submission with the product specification reference.
EPC contractor qualification
Most large EPC contractors require ISO 9001:2015 certification for vendor registration, alongside BIS product certification. We can provide our ISO certificate, BIS licence, and quality manual reference for vendor qualification submissions. Typical turnaround is 24 business hours for standard documentation packages.
Hospital & institutional projects
NBC 2016 mandates FR-LSH or HFFR cable for hospitals, high-rise residential, and enclosed public buildings. Where IS 17048:2018 HFFR is specified, our BIS IS 17048:2018 licence confirms statutory compliance — not just a compound-level claim. Specify product line and we will confirm the applicable certificate reference.
Export & international procurement
CE marking and Declaration of Conformity available for all export orders. RoHS 3 compliance declaration available for products requiring restricted substance documentation. For GCC, European, and international tenders, contact our technical team for the correct documentation package for the destination market standard.
