BIS Certification Consultancy for Aluminium Composite Panel | IS 17682:2021

Introduction

Aluminium Composite Panel (ACP) is a multi-layer panel widely used for building façades, exterior cladding, interior wall applications, partitions, signage, architectural features and other construction-related applications. Its performance depends on the quality of the aluminium sheets, polymer core, adhesive and protective surface coating.

To provide consistent product performance, manufacturers need to control important parameters such as dimensions, core density, tensile properties, peel strength, coating thickness, coating adhesion, pencil hardness, gloss, weather resistance and chemical resistance. For certain grades, fire-retardance characteristics are also applicable.

In India, Aluminium Composite Panel is covered under IS 17682:2021 – Aluminium Composite Panel. The product is covered under the BIS Scheme-I certification framework, and the current BIS Scheme-I product list continues to identify IS 17682:2021.

The current BIS Product Manual is PM/IS 17682/3/Mar 2025, which records one amendment and provides the current certification guidance for applicants and licensees.

Qualitance India provides end-to-end BIS Certification consultancy for Aluminium Composite Panel manufacturers, including product-scope assessment, documentation, laboratory testing coordination, factory inspection preparation, technical compliance and BIS licence support.
