BIS CERTIFICATION FOR ALUMINIUM ALLOY FORGING STOCK AND FORGINGS (ALLOY 24345) FOR AEROSPACE APPLICATIONS IS 7902:2001

As per IS 7902:2001, BIS certification is mandatory for aluminum alloy forged stocks and forgings (specifically alloy 24345) used in aerospace applications. This standard guarantees that materials essential for robust, lightweight, and enduring applications, like industrial machinery and aircraft components, meet rigorous quality criteria. The mechanical attributes of aluminum alloys are bolstered through forging, underscoring their significance in the aerospace industry for crafting high-performance and secure airplanes and spacecraft.

According to the Directive, all products associated with aluminum and aluminum alloy must adhere to Indian Standard 7902:2001, particularly focusing on "Aluminum alloy forged stocks and forgings (alloy 24345) intended for aerospace applications."

Key Highlights

Product Name	Aluminium alloy forging stock and forgings for aircraft purposes (Alloy 24345)
Applicable Indian Standard	IS 7902: 2001
Applicable Certification Scheme	Product Certification Scheme (ISI Mark Scheme) Scheme 1 - Schedule 2
Compliance Requirement	Mandatory
QCO Link	Quality Control Order
Scope as per Standard	This standard outlines the specifications for aluminum-copper-magnesium-silicon-manganese alloy (Alloy 24345) forging stocks (billets, bars, rods, sections) and forgings. The material is primarily designed for aircraft structural components that demand moderate strength.

TESTS

The following are the major tests for Aluminium alloy forging stock and forgings for aircraft purposes (Alloy 24345):

Freedom from defects
Chemical Composition
Heat treatment
Tensile Test
Hardness
Dimensions and Tolerances
Manufacture (raw material)
Ultrasonic Test
Dye penetrant test
Macro and Micro Examination

To adhere to IS 7902:2001, it's necessary for all aluminum alloy forged stocks and forgings (specifically alloy 24345) intended for aircraft use to be part of the ISI certification scheme. This standard outlines specifications for aluminum, copper, magnesium, silicon, and manganese alloy forging stocks (including billets, bars, rods, and sections), focusing primarily on materials designed for medium-strength structural sections of aircraft.

The lack of an ISI mark renders these products ineligible for marketing, importation, or exportation in the Indian consumer market. This underscores the significance of complying with quality standards, ensuring that aluminum alloy forging stocks and forgings meet the specified criteria for aerospace applications. This contributes to the safety and efficiency of aircraft manufacturing.

BIS Certification Process

Acquiring a BIS license entails a detailed evaluation of manufacturing infrastructure, quality control capabilities, testing facilities, and production processes. This thorough assessment guarantees that the products not only meet regulatory standards but also ensure safety and reliability for consumers.
