Note on Certification of BIS (ISI Mark)

• ABOUT BIS (ISI MARK) FOR AUTOCLAVED AERATED CONCRETE (AAC) BLOCKS

Concrete masonry, already extensively Used in building construction abroad, is likely to make very considerable headway in this country because of the many advantages, such as durability, strength and structural stability, fire resistance, insulation, and sound absorption it possesses. Concrete masonry construction is also economical because of the following aspects:

1. The units are relatively large and true in size and shape. This ensures rapid construction so that more wall is laid-per man-hour than in other types of wall construction;
2. Fewer joints result in considerable saving in mortar as compared to normal masonry construction, and also in increasing the strength of the wall, and

• The true plane surfaces obtained obviate necessity of plaster for unimportant buildings situated in low rainfall areas; even when plaster is used for any reason, the quantity required for satisfactory coverage is significantly small.

BIS has formulated the Indian Standard IS 2185: Part 3:1984 (Concrete Masonry Units Part 3 Autoclaved Cellular Aerated Concrete Blocks).
