BIS CERTIFICATION FOR REINFORCED HDPE MEMBRANE FOR EFFLUENTS AND CHEMICAL RESISTANCE LINING IS 17374

Published Date: March 04, 2025 4 min Read

BIS certification is essential for Reinforced HDPE Membranes used for effluents and chemical resistance lining as per IS 17374:2020. This standard ensures that reinforced HDPE membranes meet the necessary quality and performance criteria for applications in industrial effluent containment, landfill lining, and chemical-resistant barriers. Certification guarantees that these membranes undergo rigorous testing for tensile strength, puncture resistance, permeability, and chemical resistance, ensuring their durability and effectiveness in preventing leakage and environmental contamination. Compliance with IS 17374:2020 reflects a manufacturer’s commitment to producing high-quality reinforced HDPE membranes that support environmental protection and industrial safety.

IS 17374:2020 – Reinforced HDPE Membrane for Effluents and Chemical Resistance Lining

This standard specifies the technical requirements and testing methods for reinforced HDPE membranes used in hazardous waste containment, effluent storage, and chemical processing facilities. It defines critical performance parameters such as mechanical strength, impact resistance, flexibility, and resistance to chemical degradation. Reinforced HDPE membranes play a crucial role in protecting soil and groundwater from contamination, ensuring long-term containment of industrial and hazardous waste materials. Testing procedures ensure that these membranes provide reliable performance under extreme environmental and chemical exposure conditions.

Benefits of BIS Certification for Reinforced HDPE Membranes

BIS certification under IS 17374:2020 ensures adherence to national quality standards, enhancing product credibility and market acceptance. For manufacturers, certification provides regulatory compliance, a competitive edge, and increased trust from clients. For end users, certified reinforced HDPE membranes offer assured strength, impermeability, and resistance to harsh chemicals, ensuring reliable performance in industrial, environmental, and infrastructure projects. Certification also facilitates approvals for government and private-sector projects requiring high-quality chemical-resistant lining solutions.
