Standards

Strengthening Trust, Quality, and Compliance in Geomembrane

At the All India Geomembrane Manufacturers Association (AIGMA), we believe that standardization is the backbone of a reliable, responsible, and future-oriented geomembrane industry. Whether used in agriculture, infrastructure, or environmental protection, geomembranes must meet defined quality benchmarks to ensure safety, durability, and performance.

By promoting adherence to Indian and international standards, particularly BIS (IS 15351:2015) for HDPE geomembranes, AIGMA helps build a more consistent, trustworthy, and scalable ecosystem for manufacturers, project authorities, and end-users.

Why Standards Matter

In the geomembrane industry, standards are not just technical requirements, they are essential for ensuring that every product performs safely, consistently, and effectively. Whether used in agriculture, infrastructure, or environmental containment, standardized practices help protect investments, enhance credibility, and ensure long-term value.

Define Consistent Quality

Standards set clear benchmarks for thickness, strength, and durability—ensuring that products perform reliably across all applications and environments.

Enable Fair Comparison

Certified standards allow government bodies, buyers, and project engineers to evaluate products on a level playing field—based on performance, not just price.

Improve Safety & Reliability

Standard-compliant geomembranes reduce risks of leakage, failure, and contamination, ensuring long-lasting protection of water, soil, and infrastructure.

Build Buyer Confidence

Adhering to recognized standards builds trust among farmers, departments, and contractors—assuring them of the product’s authenticity and performance.

Support Regulatory Compliance

Standards simplify alignment with BIS, ISO, and state-level guidelines, making it easier to participate in tenders and government programs.

Encourage Innovation with Discipline

Standardization creates a solid base for R&D, allowing manufacturers to innovate while staying within quality and safety frameworks.

Championing Reliable Standards

At AIGMA, we believe that strong standards are the foundation of a dependable and respected industry. Our role is not only to promote compliance but to foster a culture where quality is embedded into every stage,from manufacturing to application.

We work closely with manufacturers, certifying agencies, and institutional buyers to ensure that standards are practical, well-understood, and consistently followed. This commitment allows geomembrane products to perform reliably in the field and earn the trust of those who depend on them.
