BIS CERTIFICATION FOR GLASS FIBRE REINFORCED GYPSUM PANELS IS 17400: 2021

In today's competitive landscape, maintaining market presence without a certified, high-quality product can be challenging. Obtaining a BIS license may also be essential for selling products in the Indian market. To achieve BIS certification and ensure product quality, manufacturers must adhere to the specified Indian standards.

Let's delve deeper into at IS 17400: 2021 For Glass Fibre Reinforced Gypsum Panels.

Glass fiber reinforced gypsum (GFRG) panels combine the lightweight properties of gypsum with the strength of glass fibers, offering a versatile construction material. These panels are used for various applications such as wrapping, false ceilings, and wall partitions. GFRG panels are known for their cost-effectiveness, ease of installation, and fire resistance, making them a superior choice over traditional construction materials.

GFRG panels are made by integrating glass fibers into a gypsum matrix, resulting in composite materials that are stronger and more durable. To ensure their safety and quality, the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) has established the IS 17400:2021 standard. This standard outlines the requirements and specifications for GFRG panels, ensuring they meet the necessary criteria for building projects.
