BIS certification is mandatory for sanitary napkins, which are used to absorb the fluid released during menstruation. Compared to traditional materials such as cloth, husk and ash, sanitary napkins provide better hygiene and leakage protection, significantly contributing to the well-being of women and girls. As per IS 5405:2019, all sanitary napkins are now covered in the mandatory ISI certification scheme.

A sanitary napkin consists of four important components: a fluid resistant barrier, an absorbent structure, a delivery component, and a fluid acquisition layer.

These elements are important for managing menstrual hygiene, enabling women and girls to lead active, healthy and dignified lives. To cater to diverse tastes and needs, sanitary napkins are available in a variety of sizes, absorbency and styles, reflecting the industry's commitment to meeting the unique needs of women.

The sanitary napkin industry is experiencing significant growth due to the increasing emphasis on women's health, hygiene awareness and increase in global consciousness. Factors such as the increasing female workforce also influence consumer preferences, contributing to the growth of the industry.

Specifications mentioned in this standard include cover or top sheet, absorbent core, barrier and bottom sheet, type and size, pH value and ability to withstand pressure after absorption. It is noteworthy that without the ISI mark, these products cannot be legally marketed, imported or exported to the Indian consumer market, highlighting the importance of meeting these stringent quality norms for sanitary napkins.
