Our Products
IS 916:2000 is the Indian standard for square tin packaging of goods such as food products, chemicals, and pharmaceuticals under BIS Certification. Therefore, it is mandatory for foreign manufacturers exporting goods to India to comply with IS 916:2000 in order to store and preserve product quality. These rectangular tins are primarily used for packaging solid products and ensuring the safety and storage of goods. The food, cosmetic, and chemical industries in India require these tins as secure and durable packaging for their products.
Foreign manufacturers should obtain BIS certification for importing products into India, also known as the ISI mark. The BIS license application, payment of relevant BIS fees, and compliance with BIS customs clearance requirements are all part of the process. This ensures the safe entry of foreign products into the Indian market.
OVERVIEW
IS 916:2000 is an Indian standard for 18-liter capacity standardized containers primarily used for packaging food products. This standard approves the design, material, and quality of these containers to ensure they are strong, secure, and resistant to contamination. It also relates to resistance to metal corrosion and the durability of tin, so manufacturers can comply with safety and packaging regulations. Selling these containers in India requires BIS certification, hence adherence to IS 916:2000 is necessary.
