ALL INDIA FIRST LICENSE2
The issuance of the All India First License for the respective Indian standard not only paves the way for other
applicants to follow the established procedures but also serves as a clear indicator of the department's proactive
approach in granting licenses to eligible applicants.
Product Name Licensee
By-product Gypsum for Use in Plaster Blocks and
Boards
M/s. Paradeep Phosphates Limited
Stone-Polymer Composite Flooring Tiles and Planks M/s. RMG Polyvinyl India Limited
Geotextiles for Permanent Erosion Control in Hard
Armor Systems
M/s. Geo Source
ELP Comments
Entities currently involved with these specific products should proactively prepare and submit applications to the
FMCS for securing their license. This strategic move will grant them a distinct competitive advantage over
counterparts lacking the certification mark.
