BIS CERTIFICATION FOR Autoclaved Reinforced Cellular Concrete Floor and Roof Slabs as per IS 6073

Published Date: September 20, 2025
4 min Read

IS 6073:2006 Standard for autoclaved reinforced cellular concrete floor and roof slabs deals with the composition of concrete, limitations in design, and performance criteria In the accepted text, it defines overall quality expectations for ARCC slabs for strength, density, and thermal insulation. This standard covers the lifecycle from manufacture to laying and maintenance of the ARCC slabs produced under this standard. BIS certification, which is mandated by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS), is thus essential so that ARCC products can ensure confirmation of such high standards. BIS is a quality assurance mark as it proves the reliability and durability of slabs

They would have high performance and safety expectations. In case a manufacturer wants to sell slabs in India, it would be subject to BIS certification. This would ensure that only those products complying with these strict parameters are available in the market.

  • Diverse Applications: ARCC slabs are used in residential, commercial, and industrial buildings for floors, roofs, partitions, and exterior cladding.
  • Versatility: They can be employed in both new construction and renovation projects, making them suitable for a wide range of building needs.
  • Robust and Efficient: ARCC slabs provide a strong and efficient solution, enhancing the structural integrity of various construction projects.

Overview of IS 6073

IS 6073:2006 is an Indian Standard that specifies the requirements for Autoclaved Reinforced Cellular Concrete (ARCC) floor and roof slabs used in construction. This standard outlines the physical properties, performance criteria, and testing methods to ensure that ARCC products meet stringent quality and safety benchmarks. By adhering to IS 6073:2006, manufacturers can guarantee that their ARCC slabs are durable, thermally efficient, and suitable for a wide range of building applications, ensuring compliance with national standards and enhancing the reliability of construction projects.
