Our Products
IS 17400:2021 is an Indian Standard that specifies glass fibre-reinforced gypsum panels under BIS certification. These types of products are used in the building and construction sectors due to their durability and aesthetic appearance and are also used as ceilings or partitions in residential and commercial buildings. The lightweight, fire and moisture resistance of these panels is increasing their market strength in India, thereby increasing the demand. More manufacturing activities in the country are also increasing the export and import of these products day by day.
The need for BIS certification is thereby warranted for quality and safety. The product must meet QCO order requirements, in which obtaining the ISI mark for recognition is fundamental for market entry. Proper BIS Custom Clearance is essential for smooth import operations in India. And again, the fees for BIS certification vary.
OVERVIEW
IS 17400:2021 is the requirement of building construction of Glass Fibre Reinforced Gypsum (GFRG) that explains the necessary materials, dimensions, and physical characteristics including specifications for testing, packaging, and transportation. The standard gives reference to other significant codes and definitions. For example, "external flange" and "cavity." It aims for the safety, durability, and quality of the product. Therefore, such standards will ensure that GFRG building panels will be produced by manufacturers that comply with national safety requirements and support sustainable construction practices.
