BIS CERTIFICATION FOR COPPER RODS AND BARS FOR GENERAL ENGINEERING PURPOSES IS 4171:1983

BIS certification is a prerequisite for Copper Rods and Bars used in general engineering, as per the Indian Standard IS 4171:1983. Copper, celebrated for its remarkable conductivity and versatility, is frequently employed in crafting solid, elongated copper bars and rods. These bars and rods boast exceptional thermal conductivity, corrosion resistance, and electrical conductivity. Coming in diverse shapes such as round, square, rectangular, and hexagonal, they serve a wide array of applications.

ISI certification (BIS) for copper rods and bars utilized in general engineering is regulated by IS 4171:1983. This standard delineates manufacturing, chemical, and physical prerequisites along with tailored testing protocols for copper rods and bars intended for general engineering applications.

These copper rods and bars are extensively utilized across diverse sectors such as manufacturing, infrastructure development, and construction. Their uses span from industrial machinery to electrical wiring and grounding, guaranteeing safe operations, dependable connections, and effective power transmission.
