BIS CERTIFICATION FOR EC GRADE ALUMINIUM ROD PRODUCED BY CONTINUOUS CASTING AND ROLLING IS 5484:2023

BIS certification is a requirement for EC Grade Aluminium Rods manufactured through Continuous Casting and Rolling, extensively used in the electronics and electrical sectors due to their superior purity and conductivity. Produced in adherence to the rigorous industry standards specified in Indian Standard 5484:2023, these products are essential for fulfilling diverse electrical performance needs in various applications.

Under this directive, all goods concerning aluminum and aluminum alloy products must adhere to the designated standard, ensuring compliance with "EC Grade Aluminum Rod produced by Continuous Casting and Rolling," and display the standard mark.

The continuous casting and rolling method of EC grade rods is vital for modern electrical, mechanical, and technological systems, serving a crucial function in electronics manufacturing and efficient power transmission. Their environmentally friendly characteristics make them appealing to companies striving to minimize environmental footprint.

TESTS

The following are the major tests for Ec Grade Aluminium Rod Produced by Continuous Casting and Rolling :

Chemical composition of ingots
Ultimate Tensile Strength & Elongation
Resistivity
Dimensions
Joints
Finish and freedom from defects

All EC grade aluminum rods manufactured through continuous casting and rolling, complying with IS 5484: 2023, are included in the ISI certification scheme. The standard encompasses specifications for these rods utilized in electrical conductors, cables, and winding wires, with nominal diameters ranging from 6.5 mm to 15 mm.

The lack of the ISI mark renders these products unsuitable for marketing, importing, or exporting in the Indian consumer market, underscoring the significance of adhering to quality standards to foster technological advancement and energy efficiency.

BIS Certification Process

Acquiring a BIS license entails a detailed evaluation of manufacturing infrastructure, quality control capabilities, testing facilities, and production processes. This thorough assessment guarantees that the products not only meet regulatory standards but also ensure safety and reliability for consumers.
