IS 10702:1992 BIS Certification for Footwear (Hawai Chappal): Complete Guide

The BIS Certification under IS 10702:1992 applies to Rubber Hawai Chappals. It is the basic open footwear made of natural or synthetic rubber. These chappals are simple, durable and widely used in homes, shops and public areas across India. The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) has made it mandatory for manufacturers to follow specific quality rules for these chappals to ensure strength, comfort and consumer safety

To sell or export these chappals in India getting a BIS license is now necessary. If a business skips this step its products can be marked as non-compliant. In Delhi, Mumbai or any other city this rule applies the same

Why Is BIS IS 10702:1992 Important?

BIS Certification for IS 10702:1992 helps protect buyers from poor-quality footwear. These chappals must meet certain test conditions:

• Tear strength
• Sole adhesion
• Strap durability
• Shape retention

When a brand carries the ISI mark, it tells buyers that the chappal passed a government-approved quality check. No mark means no trust, especially in bulk or government tenders. It also gives legal protection and boosts market value.

• Manufacturers of rubber Hawai chappals in India
• Foreign producers who export to India
• Small-scale units aiming for retail or e-commerce sales

If you make, brand, or even pack these chappals, you need a valid BIS license.

Sample chappals are taken during the factory visit. These are tested in an authorized lab. Reports are uploaded to the portal.
