Subject: Guidelines for the Implementation of IS 269: 2015, revised specification for
Ordinary Portland Cement
1. Changes in the revised IS 269: 2015.
IS 269: 2015 is a single Indian Standard for OPC and all the requirements of previously existing
33 Grade OPC (IS 269), 43 Grade OPC (IS 8112) and 53 Grade OPC (IS 12269) have been
merged into this standard. Significant changes in this revision and are as follows:
a) Use of industrial by-products from Copper, Steel and Zinc industries and from oil refineries as
performance improvers has been specified based on the extensive experimental research.
b) Manufacture of cement also by interblending, by intimately and uniformly blending the
individually ground materials has been permitted.
c) Requirement of Insoluble residue of not more than 5 % has been specified for OPC 33, 43 & 53
grades and not more than 2% for OPC 43S and 53S.
d) Provisions for railway sleeper cement have been modified.
e) Requirement of marking the ‘Best before date” of cement and “Need for testing of cement more
than 3 months old to check conformity before its use” has been introduced
f) This version contains provision for agreement between purchaser and the supplier in respect
of requirements at Table-2 Sl No. (viii); Cl 13.2.1; Table-3 Sl. NO. (v), Cl 10.2 to 10.4 and Cl
10.4.3.

2. The guidelines for existing licensees of IS 269 (33Grade OPC), IS 8112 (43 Grade
OPC) and IS 12269 (53 Grade OPC) for switch over to new IS 269: 2015 version:
i. As per the revised version of IS 269, cement manufacturers will also have the option of
manufacturing OPC in addition to the process of inter-grinding, by interblending
intimately and uniformly blending the individually ground materials. Therefore a
declaration shall be obtained from the licensees regarding manufacturing process adopted
by them in the manufacturing of OPC and in case any manufacturing machinery/test
equipment is added for the purpose, same shall be declared by the Manufacturer in CM/PF
305 & 306 and submitted to BIS along with manufacturing process. Licensees are also
required to declare type and percentage of performance improvers if added as per Clause
5.1.1 & table -1 of IS 269:2015 and submit the same to BIS under switchover process.

ii. Licensees are holding licences for one or many grades of OPC. Licensees of OPC who have
license for IS 269 and/or IS 8112 and /or IS 12269 should be given an option to retain any
one licence of OPC and include OPC’s under other licences as varieties, under the retained
licence. As opted by the licensee, OPC under other licences shall be included as variety /
varieties under the retained licence and thereafter other licenses shall be cancelled.

iii. All licensees will be required to modify marking details on the packing bags as per the
revised version of the standard and to obtain approval from BIS prior to switch over.
Wordings such as ‘Best before 3 months from date of packing’ and ‘Beyond 3 months from
the date of packing, test cement and check for conformity before use’ shall be printed.

respect of requirements at Cl 13.2.1; Table-3 Sl. No. (v), Cl 10.2, 10.3, 10.4 and Cl 10.4.3.
For compliance to these requirements, Declaration shall be obtained from licensees.

vi. This standard requires the manufacturer to carry out test for alkali content, if so
desired by the purchaser. For this purpose the licensee may have in-house test
facility or avail test facility of any other laboratory recognized by BIS. Licensees are
required to provide certificate indicating conformity to IS 269: 2015 as per clause 9.1 and
alkali content as per clause 9.2 to the purchaser, if requested. Declaration to this effect shall
be obtained from the licensee.

vii. Licensees shall be informed about the above mentioned requirements for change
over by BOs as early as possible. The implementation of revised ISS i.e. IS 269:
2015 by the licensees shall be ensured within the stipulated time i.e 30th Oct 2016.
If the licensee desires to add any New performance improves or desires to change
the combination of performance improvers, if already declared, the same may be
supported by submitting test certificate showing conformance to IS 269: 2015 from
BIS recognized lab. For this purpose, one sample from each group detailed below
will be sufficient. After confirmation of satisfactory compliance on implementation
of IS 269: 2015 from licensee, approval to be granted by Head BO/Authorized
officer and suitable endorsement to the opted licence shall be issued endorsing IS
269: 2015 in the licence and product scope also be revised to incorporate different
grades covered under existing licenses of OPCs and whether with or without the
