BIS CERTIFICATION FOR STEEL FOR HARDENING AND TEMPERING IS 5517:1993

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.

Let's delve deeper into at IS 5517:1993 for steels for hardening and tempering.

This standard outlines the technical and delivery specifications for wrought alloyed and unalloyed steels, available in various forms such as bars, rods, flats, plates, and forgings. These materials are designed to be used in hardened and tempered conditions. Typically, the steel specified in this standard is intended for the forging and machining of parts used in engineering or automotive applications.

IS 8910:1978 outlines the general requirements for material supply. Steels falling under this standard must be ordered and supplied based on any of the criteria listed in table 1 of the standard.

Unless specified otherwise in the order, the methods employed in manufacturing the steel and the product are at the manufacturer's discretion, with the condition that the steel must be fully killed. Adequate reduction and discarding must be conducted, as determined by macroetching and ultrasonic testing, to ensure the absence of piping, detrimental segregation, and similar issues. The material should be devoid of surface and material defects that could compromise its intended application.

TESTS

MARKING:

Bars with a diameter of 50 mm or equivalent section and larger should be stamped or appropriately marked at the end with the heat number and the manufacturer's name or trademark. For bars in smaller sections, they will be grouped into suitable bundles and tagged with metal tags containing the necessary information. Additionally, the Standard Mark (ISI Mark) can be applied to the material.

Manufacturers are required to secure a BIS license from the Bureau of Indian Standards in order to utilize the standard mark (ISI Mark). This license is granted after a thorough evaluation of manufacturing infrastructure, production processes, and quality control and testing capabilities during an inspection at the manufacturing premises by the Bureau.

PROCESS FOR BIS ISI MARK CERTIFICATION

BIS CERTIFICATION PROCESS

Acquiring a BIS license requires a comprehensive review of manufacturing infrastructure, quality control abilities, testing resources, and production procedures. This thorough assessment guarantees that products not only adhere to regulations but also prioritize consumer safety and reliability.
