Why compliance matters and how KMAGC simplifies the process

BIS Certification for Linear Alkyl Benzene (LAB) | IS 12795:2020 Compliance Guide
 

Introduction

Linear Alkyl Benzene (LAB), a key detergent feedstock, falls under mandatory BIS certification (IS 12795:2020) in India. For manufacturers, navigating the certification maze can delay market access by months. This guide breaks down the critical requirements, testing protocols, and how KMA GLOBAL’s expertise ensures seamless compliance.

Is BIS Certification Mandatory for domestic and foreign Manufacturers?

Absolutely Yes.

If you are a domestic or foreign manufacturer looking to manufacture or export Linear Alkyl Benzene to India, the Indian law mandates that your product must be BIS certified under IS 12795:2020.
Without the Linear Alkyl Benzene BIS certificate, you cannot legally sell or distribute LAB in the Indian market.

Why Linear Alkyl Benzene Needs BIS Certification

1. Legal Requirement

• The Linear Alkyl Benzene (Quality Control) Order, 2021 makes BIS certification mandatory.
• Without the ISI mark, your LAB cannot be sold in India.

2. Market Access

• Major detergent brands (Nirma, Surf Excel) require BIS-certified LAB.
• Certification boosts buyer trust and export opportunities.

3. Quality Assurance

IS 12795:2020 ensures LAB meets:
Purity (≥98% LAB content)
Safety (low sulphur, bromine index limits)
Performance (optimal sulfonation grade)
