Stainless steel sheets and strips are flat, thin components made from a specialized steel that resists rust and damage due to its chromium and nickel content. This makes them ideal for various industries, including construction, automotive, food processing, medical equipment, and aerospace.

To ensure the quality of stainless steel sheets and strips, the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) requires manufacturers to obtain BIS registration and the BIS ISI mark before selling their products. Manufacturers can display the ISI mark only after receiving a license from BIS, which is granted following BIS registration. The ISI mark signifies that the product meets BIS's rigorous quality standards.

This standard outlines the requirements for stainless steel sheets and strips used in utensil manufacturing. Material supply must adhere to IS 1387:1967. Unless otherwise specified in the order, the manufacturer has discretion over the processes used to produce the steel.
