BIS CERTIFICATION FOR SAFETY GLASS FOR ROAD TRANSPORT IS 2553 (PART 2):2019

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.

Lets delve deeper into IS 2553 (Part 2):2018 for Safety Glass.

Safety glass intended for road transport falls under the purview of IS 2553 (Part 2):2019. This standard delineates the requirements, as well as the sampling and testing methods, for safety glass designated for automobile windscreens, backlights, and side window glasses.

Safety glass must be crafted from 'AA' and 'A' grade flat transparent sheet glass conforming to the specifications of IS 2835:1987. Alternatively, float glass may be employed in the production of safety glass. The thickness of the safety glass should adhere to the standard and be gauged using the prescribed method. Tolerances for the height, width, and corner sections of safety glass must align with the standard requirements.

Safety glazing designated for installation in motor vehicles as per IS 2553 (Part 2) is categorized as follows:

1. Windscreens

Laminated Glass (II, II/P)
Glass Plastics

2. Panes

Uniformly Toughened Glass (with and without marking P)
Laminated Glass
Double Glazed Unit (Symmetrical, Asymmetrical)
Glass Plastics
Rigid Plastics
Flexible Plastics

Each classification and sub-classification necessitates separate testing to ensure compliance with the specific type of safety glass. The prescribed tests outlined in the standard must be conducted following the designated procedures within a suitably equipped and staffed laboratory.

TESTS

The subsequent test must be conducted for safety glass for road transport.

Light Transmittance Test
Test of Resistance to abrasion
Resistance to Temperature Changes
Resistance to fire
Resistance to chemicals
Resistance to Radiation
Resistance to humidity
Optical Distortion Test
Head-form test
Fragmentation test
Weathering
Cross-cut

Packaging and labeling must adhere to the guidelines outlined in IS 2553 (Part 2): 2019. Each packet must display the information specified in the standard. The standard mark (ISI Mark) must be affixed to every piece of safety glass, ensuring that it meets all specified requirements. Manufacturers are required to obtain a BIS license from the Bureau of Indian Standards to utilize the standard mark (ISI Mark).

The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) issues licenses following a thorough evaluation of manufacturing infrastructure, quality control, testing capabilities, and production processes during an on-site visit to the manufacturing premises.
