The IS 13008:1990 standard outlines the technical requirements and testing methods for shallow corrugated asbestos cement sheets, which are commonly used in roofing systems for both industrial and residential buildings. These sheets are engineered to resist environmental stresses like temperature variations, moisture, and pressure. The standard covers important factors such as the thickness, width, length, and corrugation profile of the sheets. It also details the mechanical properties, including flexural strength, impact resistance, and tensile strength. Additionally, the standard specifies other crucial attributes like water absorption, fire resistance, and weathering properties to ensure the sheets perform effectively in diverse climatic conditions. Adhering to this standard guarantees that asbestos cement sheets deliver the necessary durability, stability, and strength for reliable use in construction projects.

BIS certification under IS 13008:1990 offers significant benefits to both manufacturers and consumers. For manufacturers, obtaining BIS certification enhances product credibility and marketability, ensuring compliance with regulatory standards and facilitating access to both domestic and international markets. The certification process also ensures high-quality production standards, improving the overall reliability and quality of the product. For consumers, BIS-certified asbestos cement sheets provide assurance of superior durability, environmental resistance, and consistent quality. These qualities make BIS-certified sheets a trusted choice in the construction industry, ensuring safety and long-term performance.
