BIS Certification for PVC Sandal<\/strong> is an important regulatory requirement for manufacturers whose products fall within the applicable BIS\/QCO framework. IS 6721:1972<\/strong> is titled \u201cSpecification for PVC Sandal.\u201d<\/strong> BIS’s current compulsory-certification listing includes IS 6721:1972 under the footwear certification framework.<\/p>\n BIS has also issued clarification regarding the transition to IS 6721:2023 \u2013 Sandal and Slippers \u2013 Specification<\/strong>. For PVC sandals manufactured through injection moulding<\/strong>, BIS’s clarification states that the QCO applies to IS 6721:1972 from 1 July 2023<\/strong>, while sandals made from materials other than PVC or PVC sandals manufactured by processes other than injection moulding fall under the revised IS 6721:2023 framework from 1 January 2024<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Therefore, manufacturers should first determine the material and manufacturing process<\/strong> before selecting the applicable standard and certification route.<\/p>\n PVC Sandal<\/strong> is footwear manufactured using polyvinyl chloride (PVC) material and covered by the specifications of IS 6721:1972 where applicable.<\/p>\n PVC sandals are commonly manufactured through injection moulding<\/strong>, producing a moulded footwear product with an integrated or assembled sandal structure.<\/p>\n The applicable product requirements can cover parameters related to:<\/p>\n BIS’s current laboratory information for IS 6721:1972 identifies these testing parameters.<\/p>\n BIS Certification<\/strong> is a conformity assessment system operated by the Bureau of Indian Standards<\/strong>.<\/p>\n For products covered under compulsory certification, manufacturers must demonstrate conformity with the relevant Indian Standard and satisfy BIS requirements before applying the applicable Standard Mark.<\/p>\n PVC Sandal is included in BIS’s current compulsory-certification listing under IS 6721:1972<\/strong>.<\/p>\n IS 6721:1972<\/strong> is titled:<\/p>\n The BIS Product Manual for IS 6721:1972 is intended to guide Regional\/Branch Offices, licence holders and prospective applicants regarding certification under Scheme-I<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The Product Manual identifies:<\/p>\n For sampling, the Product Manual specifies one pair of sandals<\/strong>, along with test slabs made from the same composition as specified under the relevant clause.<\/p>\n IS 6721:1972 specifies requirements for PVC Sandal<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The standard is particularly relevant to the applicable category of PVC sandals, including those manufactured by injection moulding<\/strong>, as clarified by BIS.<\/p>\n The product requirements include applicable physical, chemical and dimensional characteristics.<\/p>\n Depending on the applicable regulatory framework, the product category may include:<\/p>\n BIS clarified that:<\/p>\n PVC sandal manufactured by injection moulding \u2192 IS 6721:1972<\/strong><\/p>\n while:<\/p>\n PVC sandal manufactured through a process other than injection moulding \u2192 IS 6721:2023 framework<\/strong><\/p>\n and:<\/p>\n Sandals made from materials other than PVC such as TPR\/EVA\/PU\/TPU \u2192 IS 6721:2023 framework<\/strong>, subject to the applicable QCO provisions.<\/p>\n BIS’s 2023 implementation guideline stated that IS 6721:1972 and the revised IS 6721:2023 were concurrently running during the transition period, with 31 December 2023<\/strong> identified as the last date for implementation of the revised standard.<\/p>\n However, BIS subsequently clarified the applicability based on the material and manufacturing process<\/strong>. For PVC sandals manufactured by injection moulding, IS 6721:1972 continued to be the applicable reference under the relevant QCO clarification.<\/p>\n For a new application, always verify the exact product\/process against the latest BIS\/QCO position before filing.<\/strong><\/p>\n The applicable footwear QCO framework is associated with the Footwear made from All Rubber and all Polymeric Material and its Components (Quality Control) Order<\/strong> and subsequent amendments\/clarifications.<\/p>\n BIS’s current compulsory-certification listing includes IS 6721:1972 \u2013 PVC Sandal<\/strong>.<\/p>\n BIS clarification dated 27 July 2023<\/strong> specifically states that the QCO applies to sandals made of PVC and manufactured by injection moulding as per IS 6721:1972<\/strong> from 1 July 2023<\/strong>.<\/p>\n BIS certification may be required for eligible manufacturers producing covered PVC sandals, including:<\/p>\n BIS’s footwear FAQ also states that the certification framework applies to domestic and foreign manufacturers making footwear for consumers in India<\/strong>.<\/p>\n A manufacturer should generally have:<\/p>\n The actual requirements depend upon the product scope and applicable BIS certification scheme.<\/p>\n Identify the exact PVC sandal model manufactured by the factory.<\/p>\n Determine whether the product falls under IS 6721:1972<\/strong> or the revised IS 6721:2023<\/strong> framework.<\/p>\n Confirm whether the PVC sandal is manufactured by injection moulding<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Identify:<\/p>\n Review machinery, production facilities and quality-control arrangements.<\/p>\n Prepare the required BIS documents.<\/p>\n Prepare representative samples as per BIS requirements.<\/p>\n Submit samples to an appropriate BIS-recognized laboratory.<\/p>\n Submit the application and required supporting documents.<\/p>\n BIS examines the application and submitted information.<\/p>\n BIS assesses the manufacturing premises where applicable.<\/p>\n Address any non-conformities or observations.<\/p>\n After satisfactory completion, BIS may grant the licence.<\/p>\n Use the BIS Standard Mark according to the applicable licence conditions.<\/p>\n Maintain production and quality-control requirements after certification.<\/p>\n Common documents may include:<\/p>\n The final document list should be confirmed based on the actual BIS application.<\/p>\n BIS LIMS currently lists IS 6721 (1972) \u2013 Specification for PVC Sandal<\/strong> in its laboratory testing scope.<\/p>\n The listed testing parameters include:<\/p>\n Hardness of the PVC sandal material is evaluated according to the applicable test method.<\/p>\n The tensile strength of the relevant material is tested.<\/p>\n Density is determined according to the applicable requirement.<\/p>\n The elongation characteristics of the material are evaluated.<\/p>\n Tear strength is tested to determine resistance to tearing.<\/p>\n Volatility percentage by mass is tested.<\/p>\n Lead content is evaluated as part of the applicable chemical requirements.<\/p>\n Applicable dimensions of the sandal are checked.<\/p>\n These parameters are reflected in the current BIS LIMS testing information for IS 6721:1972.<\/p>\n BIS LIMS currently lists laboratories with testing scope for IS 6721:1972<\/strong>.<\/p>\n For example, National Test House \u2013 ER, Kolkata<\/strong> is listed for IS 6721:1972 with a testing charge shown as \u20b911,000 excluding taxes<\/strong> for the listed scope.<\/p>\n Another BIS LIMS listing shows International Testing Centre, MSME Technology Development Centre, Meerut<\/strong> with IS 6721:1972 testing scope.<\/p>\n Testing charges may differ depending upon:<\/p>\n Therefore, the latest BIS LIMS listing should be checked before quoting the final testing budget.<\/p>\n The total cost of BIS certification depends on several factors:<\/p>\n For example, BIS LIMS currently shows \u20b911,000 excluding taxes<\/strong> for one listed IS 6721:1972 laboratory scope, but this should not<\/strong> be treated as the complete BIS certification cost.<\/p>\n During factory inspection, BIS may review:<\/p>\n Injection moulding machines and related production equipment.<\/p>\n PVC\/raw-material control and identification.<\/p>\n Production process and process controls.<\/p>\n Finished sandals are checked against applicable requirements.<\/p>\n Availability and suitability of required testing arrangements.<\/p>\n Calibration records of measuring instruments.<\/p>\n Production, inspection and test records.<\/p>\n Marking and packaging arrangements according to applicable requirements.<\/p>\n The BIS certification timeline depends on:<\/p>\n Therefore, manufacturers should avoid promising a fixed certification timeline before evaluating the complete application.<\/p>\n Helps manufacturers comply with applicable mandatory BIS requirements.<\/p>\n Provides a structured framework for quality evaluation.<\/p>\n Builds trust among distributors, retailers and consumers.<\/p>\n Supports compliant supply of regulated footwear products.<\/p>\n BIS certification strengthens product credibility.<\/p>\n Encourages systematic testing and manufacturing controls.<\/p>\n Qualitance India<\/strong> provides

COMPETENCE<\/strong><\/p>\n PVC Sandal Product Identification<\/strong> BIS Certification is the conformity assessment required for PVC sandals covered under the applicable BIS\/QCO framework.<\/p>\n IS 6721:1972 is the Indian Standard titled Specification for PVC Sandal<\/strong>.<\/p>\n PVC sandals covered by the applicable compulsory-certification\/QCO framework require BIS certification. BIS’s current compulsory-certification list includes IS 6721:1972.<\/p>\n The applicable standard depends on the material and manufacturing process<\/strong>. BIS has specifically clarified the applicability of IS 6721:1972 for PVC sandals manufactured through injection moulding.<\/p>\n Yes, BIS’s current compulsory-certification listing continues to list IS 6721:1972, while the applicability must be assessed according to the latest BIS\/QCO clarification.<\/p>\n IS 6721:2023 is the revised standard titled Sandal and Slippers \u2013 Specification<\/strong>, which amalgamated the earlier IS 6721:1972 and IS 11544:1986 standards.<\/p>\n BIS clarified that PVC sandals manufactured by injection moulding<\/strong> come under IS 6721:1972 under the applicable QCO framework.<\/p>\n Testing can include hardness, tensile strength, density, elongation at break, tear strength, volatility, lead content and dimensions.<\/p>\n Yes. Hardness is included in the BIS LIMS testing scope for IS 6721:1972.<\/p>\n Yes. Tensile strength is one of the listed testing parameters.<\/p>\n Yes. Lead content is included in the listed testing scope for IS 6721:1972.<\/p>\n Yes. Dimension is included in the BIS testing scope.<\/p>\n Documents generally include factory details, manufacturing process, machinery, product information, testing facilities, calibration records and quality-control documents.<\/p>\n Factory assessment may form part of the BIS certification process depending on the applicable certification procedure.<\/p>\n BIS LIMS currently shows a listed testing charge of \u20b911,000 excluding taxes for one National Test House \u2013 ER, Kolkata scope for IS 6721:1972.<\/p>\n No. Laboratory testing is only one component. Application, inspection, documentation and other charges may also apply.<\/p>\n Yes, eligible foreign manufacturers can obtain BIS certification under the applicable BIS foreign-manufacturer framework. BIS’s footwear FAQ covers both domestic and foreign manufacturers.<\/p>\n BIS states that certification is granted to a manufacturing premises<\/strong>, not merely to the company. Separate certification is therefore required for each applicable manufacturing premises.<\/p>\n The BIS Standard Mark indicates conformity with the applicable Indian Standard under the conditions of the BIS licence.<\/p>\n It is the applicable Quality Control Order framework regulating covered footwear products and their conformity with specified Indian Standards.<\/p>\n It generally includes product assessment, standard applicability, documentation, testing, application, factory assessment, observation closure and licence grant.<\/p>\n The timeline depends on documentation, testing, factory readiness, BIS scrutiny and inspection scheduling.<\/p>\n The manufacturer may need to investigate the non-conformity and follow the applicable BIS procedure for corrective action\/retesting.<\/p>\n Yes. Qualitance India can support product assessment, documentation, testing coordination, BIS application and factory inspection preparation.<\/p>\n Because BIS has different applicability based on factors such as material and manufacturing process<\/strong>. Incorrectly selecting IS 6721:1972 instead of the applicable revised standard can create compliance problems.<\/p>\n Use these questions in the website FAQ section:<\/p>\n Service Name:<\/strong> BIS Certification Consultancy for PVC Sandal<\/p>\n Service Type:<\/strong> BIS Certification Consultancy<\/p>\n Applicable Standard:<\/strong> IS 6721:1972<\/p>\n Product:<\/strong> PVC Sandal<\/p>\n Provider:<\/strong> Qualitance India<\/p>\n Area Served:<\/strong> India<\/p>\n Description:<\/strong> End-to-end BIS Certification Consultancy for applicable PVC Sandals under IS 6721:1972, including applicability assessment, documentation, testing coordination, BIS application and factory inspection support.<\/p>\n Organization Name:<\/strong> Qualitance India<\/p>\n Tagline:<\/strong> Improving Quality and Competence<\/p>\n Phone:<\/strong> +91-9310-615-170<\/p>\n Email:<\/strong> info@qualitanceindia.com<\/a><\/p>\n Website:<\/strong> qualitanceindia.com<\/p>\n Home \u2192 BIS Certification \u2192 Footwear Certification \u2192 PVC Sandal \u2192 IS 6721:1972<\/strong><\/p>\n Article Type:<\/strong> Article \/ BlogPosting<\/p>\n Headline:<\/strong> BIS Certification for PVC Sandal \u2013 IS 6721:1972<\/p>\n Author:<\/strong> Qualitance India<\/p>\n Publisher:<\/strong> Qualitance India<\/p>\n Article Section:<\/strong> BIS Certification \/ Footwear Certification<\/p>\n Keywords:<\/strong> BIS Certification for PVC Sandal, IS 6721:1972, PVC Sandal BIS Licence, PVC Footwear Certification<\/p>\n Is page ko website ke related pages se internally link karein:<\/p>\n For authority and E-E-A-T, official BIS sources link karein:<\/p>\n Are you a PVC Sandal Manufacturer, Footwear Manufacturer, Injection Moulding Manufacturer or Footwear Exporter<\/strong> looking for BIS Certification?<\/p>\n Qualitance India can help you with complete BIS Certification consultancy.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u2713 Product & Standard Applicability Assessment
