INTRODUCTION

In India, the rubber Hawai chappal, which serves as light-duty footwear for general use, is very popular. Its simple and comfortable design makes it comfortable and easy to use. It is also popular for its suitability for warm weather.

Rubber Hawai Chappals are classified into two types based on the design of the sole.

Type 1: Rubber Hawai Chappal with a uniform sole thickness

Type 2: Rubber Hawai Chappal with taper sole design

To ensure the product quality of rubber hawai chappal, the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) has made it mandatory for manufacturers to undergo BIS registration and obtain the BIS ISI mark before selling it in the market. Manufacturers can use the ISI Mark on their products only after obtaining a license from BIS that is granted after BIS registration. The presence of the ISI mark on a product indicates that it complies with BIS's stringent quality standards.
