Plastic shoes, especially polyurethane boots with or without lining, are very important in many workplaces where safety, strength, and comfort are most important. As more industries like making things, building, and farming need protective shoes, it's crucial to follow quality rules to keep workers safe and make sure the shoes work well. The Indian Standard IS 16645:2018 tells us what these shoes need to be like, including how well they work, how long they last, and how they handle chemicals.
Getting BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards) certification is very important for companies that want to make high-quality polyurethane boots that follow safety rules. In reaction to market needs, this certification involves a lot of testing and administrative tasks to validate that the boots are usable. By knowing what's needed in IS 16645:2018, with certifications from the BIS, businesses improve customer trust and stand out more in the market as they go through the certification process.
The primary constituents of moulded plastic shoes will be the focus of this article, moving to discuss what they should provide for performance, how they should be tested, the required labeling, and the part played by BIS certification. Our goal is to present a full view of the elements involved in crafting the best and safest polyurethane boots for multiple uses in different areas of industry.
Plastic shoes, especially polyurethane boots with or without lining, are very important in many industries because they are strong, comfortable, and can handle chemicals and bad weather. The Indian Standard IS 16645:2018 talks about the rules for shoes made from all kinds of rubber and plastic materials, including polyurethane.
This standard explains the important details about the design, materials, and how well the plastic shoes work to make sure they are safe and good quality for use in workplaces. It covers things like keeping water out, being strong, and being comfortable, which are very important for workers who have to deal with tough conditions.
Outlined in IS 16645: 2018 are multiple performance requirements for Moulded plastics footwear.
IS 16645:2018 sets out several standards that plastic shoes must meet:
Testing labs for plastic shoes need to follow certain rules:
These rules are important to make sure the testing process is good and the results are reliable.
Accurate labeling is crucial for meeting BIS standards. Every pair of Moulded plastics footwear needs to be clearly marked with important details that help consumers understand the product's features and confirm its compliance.
Each article of unlined molded rubber boots must be marked with the following information:
Also, the packaging must follow BIS rules to ensure safe handling and storage during shipping.
| General Documents | Technical Documents |
|---|---|
| GST Certificate | Raw Material List |
| MSME Or Udyam Certificate (Not applicable for large-scale industries) | Raw Material Test Certificate |

The BIS certification process for Moulded plastic footwear involves several steps:
Applications are filled including relevant documents that outline the production processes of the manufacturers.
A BIS officer pays a visit to the manufacturing company in order to assess the levels of compliance with set regulations.
The samples from the production batches are analyzed at the BIS-accredited laboratories.
As a result of the evaluation of these facilities and products, BIS grants permission to the manufacturers to use the ISI mark on their products.
To sustain the standards practice, normal assertions are carried out.
This is a process that the manufacturers need to understand so that they can get an efficient certification process.
BIS certification is crucial for several reasons:
The government-approved fees for BIS certification of molded solid rubber soles and heels under IS 13995:1995 are as follows:
| Category | Fee (INR) |
|---|---|
| BIS Application Fees | 9000 |
NOTE: BIS testing charge fees are subject to changes from time to time depending on the circulating governments’ policies on fee structure.

They've been very helpful in our registration with ICEGATE. It was a small thing with a small amount paid which somehow escalated to a very painful procedure. Never did they say "You've only paid so much. It's too much effort for us.".
Very pleased with their service. Prompt, professional and great communication. Definitely recommend. Special mention for Ms. Razia - she handled our case.
Professional Utilities is fully professional in their work, Rates are too low and genuine. Services and satisfaction are high so I highly recommended Professional Utilities.
They are one of the most genuine and reasonable people. I applied for lmpc certificate through them and they charged me a very nominal amount as compared to what other firms asked .
