BIS CERTIFICATION FOR SOLID PVC SOLES AND HEELS IS 6719:1972

INTRODUCTION

Solid PVC soles and heels are parts of shoes, like the bottom part that touches the ground and the part that lifts your heel. They are made from a strong kind of plastic called polyvinyl chloride (PVC). These shoe parts are tough, last a long time, and don't easily get damaged, which is why shoe makers often use them for everyday shoes like sneakers and casual footwear.

To ensure the product quality of Solid PVC soles and heels, 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.
