BIS certification under IS 1825:1983 covers aluminium alloy milk cans used for collecting, storing, and transporting milk. The standard outlines guidelines for the quality of materials, strength, design, and resistance to corrosion, ensuring the cans are durable and safe for dairy use.
Products that meet these requirements are allowed to bear the BIS Standard Mark, showing they comply with Indian quality standards. This certification helps manufacturers gain trust in the market and assures users of hygienic, long-lasting, and reliable milk storage.
According to the standard, milk cans are manufactured in various capacities such as 20, 30, 40, and 50 litres, and their actual capacity must be within ±2% of the rated volume. The cans are made from aluminium alloy 64430 (HS-30) conforming to IS:737:1974, while the handles and fittings are usually made of HE-30 or HS-30 grade aluminium alloy to ensure strength and corrosion resistance. The body and lid are designed with specific dimensions and shapes, as shown in the standard’s diagrams, to provide easy handling and leak-proof sealing.
Here are the key benefits of getting ISI Mark certification:
Government Quality Assurance: The ISI mark indicates that a product meets the quality standards established by the government, ensuring compliance and reliability.
Mandatory Compliance: It is mandatory for Steel Balls for Rolling Bearings IS 2898 (Part 1) to obtain the ISI Mark. Non-compliance can result in penalties, including material seizure and substantial fines.
Enhanced Market Competitiveness: Achieving certification significantly enhances your product's chances of success in the competitive market.
Consumer Trust: Consumers are more likely to purchase ISI-certified products, as they guarantee safety and quality. This certification helps build trust and confidence among buyers.
Market Benchmarking: Partnering with a respected brand allows you to elevate industry standards and establish a benchmark for your product's market value.

The BIS standard IS 1825:1983 mainly covers 20-litre delivery cans and 20, 30, 40, and 50-litre transport cans. If a manufacturer wants to produce cans in other sizes, they can request BIS to include those variants. However, BIS may ask for additional product testing or verification before approving the new capacities.
Not always. If the aluminium sheets or alloys used to make the milk cans already carry a valid ISI mark or an authentic test certificate confirming they meet the relevant Indian Standards (like IS 733 or IS 737), then certain chemical or mechanical tests can be skipped. This helps manufacturers save both time and cost while maintaining compliance.
A control unit refers to a fixed quantity of cans produced under identical manufacturing conditions. BIS inspectors treat each unit as a single production batch for quality checks. Once the samples from a control unit pass all required tests, the entire batch is considered compliant for BIS marking and certification.
BIS certification guarantees that the cans meet India’s safety, hygiene, and performance standards. It ensures the cans are durable, corrosion-resistant, and safe for storing and transporting milk. For manufacturers, it boosts credibility, helps meet regulatory requirements, and opens access to both government and export markets.
