•  ISI Certification (BIS)

This Indian Standard was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft finalized by the Light Metals and Their Alloys Sectional Committee had been approved by the Metallurgical Engineering Division Council.

The aluminium and aluminium alloy foil play an important role in pharmaceutical packaging due to their unique barrier properties. Packaging with these foils exclude moisture, oxygen and other gases, micro-organisms and light, thus maintaining sensitive products in peak condition for long periods. Their various properties provide a convenient, safe and versatile packaging format for tablets, creams, liquids and powders covering an enormous variety of pharmaceutical products.
