BIS CERTIFICATION FOR PALM FATTY ACIDS IS 12067:1987

In today's competitive landscape, maintaining market presence without a certified, high-quality product can be challenging. Obtaining a BIS license may also be essential for selling products in the Indian market. To achieve BIS certification and ensure product quality, manufacturers must adhere to the specified Indian standards.

Under the Palm Fatty Acids (Quality Control) Order, 2022, BIS certification is compulsory for Palm Fatty Acids as mandated by the Bureau of Indian Standards. Palm Fatty Acids must adhere to IS 12067:1987 standards and display the ISI Mark under a Bureau of Indian Standards license, following Scheme-I of Schedule-II of the Bureau of Indian Standards (Conformity Assessment) Regulations, 2018.

To obtain a BIS certificate for Palm Fatty Acids, manufacturers must ensure compliance with relevant Indian standards.

Let's examine IS 12067:1987 for Palm Fatty Acids more closely.

This standard outlines the specifications, sampling procedures, and testing methods for Palm Fatty Acids.

There will be two grades of material available: Grade 1, which will be distilled, and Grade 2, which will be undistilled. The material will be derived from splitting the oil extracted from the fleshy mesocarp of the fruit of the oil palm tree.

If a solvent is utilized in the oil or fatty acid production process, a minimum flash point is necessary. The material must be devoid of sediments, adulterants, suspended and other foreign substances, as well as separated water. Upon melting, the distilled grade should exhibit clarity. Additionally, adherence to the standard's requirements is imperative.

TESTS

The subsequent test must be conducted for Palm Fatty Acid.

PACKING AND MARKING

Packing and labeling procedures must adhere to IS 12067:1987 specifications. The material should be packed in suitable containers, securely closed and labeled with essential details including the material name and grade, net weight, batch or lot number, manufacturing date, manufacturer's name, and trademark. Optionally, the container may also bear the ISI Mark.

To use the standard mark (ISI Mark), the manufacturer needs to acquire a BIS license for Palm Fatty Acids from the Bureau of Indian Standards. This license is granted following a successful assessment of manufacturing infrastructure, processes, quality control, and testing capabilities conducted during an on-site visit to the manufacturing premises by BIS.
