BIS CERTIFICATION FOR COPPER RODS AND BARS FOR ELECTRICAL PURPOSES IS 613:2000

In compliance with Indian Standard IS 613:2000, BIS certification is compulsory for copper rods and bars intended for electrical applications. These rods, solid elongated pieces of copper metal, are commonly manufactured using rolling, extrusion, or casting methods. Their exceptional electrical, thermal, and corrosion-resistant characteristics contribute to the significant value of these copper products.

The ISI certification (BIS) for copper rods and bars used in electrical applications is regulated by IS 613:2000. This standard delineates manufacturing specifications, chemical and physical prerequisites, and test procedures for copper rods and bars intended specifically for electrical purposes.

Copper rods and bars are essential components within electrical and electronic systems, playing a vital role in power distribution, ensuring dependable electrical connections, and promoting the secure operation of infrastructure and equipment. Renowned for their outstanding electrical properties, they are extensively utilized across various industrial, commercial, and residential applications.
