BIS CERTIFICATION FOR WROUGHT COPPER TUBES FOR REFRIGERATION AND AIR-CONDITIONING PURPOSE IS 10773:1995
In accordance with IS 10773:1995, BIS certification is compulsory for Wrought Copper Tubes used in refrigeration and air conditioning applications. These tubes are formed through mechanical processes to leverage copper's excellent thermal and electrical conductivity, corrosion resistance, and ductility, often involving copper alloys. These alloys may comprise copper-zinc compositions, forming brass, or other variations like nickel silver, which is a blend of copper, nickel, and zinc. These tubes find applications across various industries, particularly in refrigeration and air conditioning systems.
The effectiveness, dependability, and operational efficiency of HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) systems rely heavily on wrought copper tubes. These tubes serve a multitude of purposes, from industrial refrigeration units to residential air conditioners, enhancing efficiency and promoting energy conservation within the HVAC industry. Without the ISI mark, these products cannot be traded in or out of the Indian consumer market.
