IS 1381 (Part 1): 2003 outlines the requirements and dimensions for a series of internationally recognized conical flasks, flat-bottom, and round-bottom flasks designed for general laboratory use. These flasks are intended for direct use in laboratories, ensuring compatibility with other laboratory equipment for a wide range of applications.

The flasks must be made from borosilicate glass 3.3, in compliance with ISO 3585 standards, and should be free from visible defects or internal stresses that could affect their performance. When placed on a flat surface, the flasks must stand upright without rocking or spinning. The dimensions of the flasks must adhere to the specifications outlined in the relevant standard. To ensure compliance, a laboratory must have the necessary equipment to perform the tests prescribed by the standard using the outlined techniques.

In line with the Laboratory Glassware QCO, all laboratory glassware must comply with the applicable Indian Standard and display the ISI Mark, obtained under a license from the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS), as per Scheme-I of Schedule-II of the BIS (Conformity Assessment) Regulations 2018. These products cannot be manufactured, traded, sold, stocked, or imported unless they bear the ISI Mark, ensuring compliance with the required safety and quality standards.
