NOC (Steel) Certificate for Structural & Steel Products
No Objection Certificate support for steel and structural product manufacturers — coordinated alongside your BIS ISI licence so the two filings never conflict.
NOC support that stays coordinated with your BIS licence.
A No Objection Certificate for steel and structural products — a clearance that sits alongside your BIS ISI licence rather than replacing it, and that certain buyers, tenders or project specifications require on file before they'll accept your product.
Manufacturers of TMT bars, structural steel sections and similar products — including secondary steel producers such as re-rolling and induction furnace units — supplying into government projects, PSUs or tenders that name an NOC as a requirement.
How it works
Getting your NOC sorted, start to finish
Step 1: Applicability check
We confirm whether an NOC actually applies to your product and the buyer or tender specification you need it for — not every steel product requires one.
Step 2: Documentation
Factory, product and existing BIS licence details are compiled so the NOC application lines up with your certification file rather than duplicating or contradicting it.
Step 3: Filing & liaison
We file the application with the relevant authority and liaise on any queries raised during review.
Step 4: Grant & ongoing coordination
Once issued, we keep the NOC and your BIS licence coordinated so future renewals or product changes update both consistently.

FAQ
NOC (Steel) — common questions
What is a steel NOC, and is it the same as a BIS licence?
No — a No Objection Certificate is a separate clearance that steel and structural product manufacturers are sometimes required to hold, alongside a BIS ISI licence rather than instead of one. It typically comes up for secondary steel producers (such as re-rolling and induction furnace units) and for suppliers to projects, tenders or government buyers where the specification requires a valid NOC on file in addition to the standard certification.
Who typically needs an NOC for steel products?
Manufacturers of TMT bars, structural steel sections and similar products — particularly secondary producers — who need to demonstrate compliance to a buyer, a government department or a tender specification that names an NOC as a requirement. Whether it applies to your specific product and buyer is worth confirming before you commit to a bid or supply contract.
Can the NOC and BIS licence be handled together?
Yes, and we'd recommend it — the two filings reference the same product and factory details, and coordinating them avoids the two processes producing conflicting paperwork or timelines.
How do I know if my product actually needs an NOC?
It depends on your specific product, buyer and, in many cases, the tender or supply specification you're responding to. Tell us the product and the context you need it for, and we'll confirm whether an NOC applies before you spend time on the application.
