BIS CERTIFICATION FOR COPPER TUBES USED IN PLUMBING IS 14810:2000

According to the specifications outlined in IS 14810:2000, BIS certification is obligatory for copper tubes utilized in plumbing applications. These cylindrical metal tubes, made from copper, are esteemed for their outstanding electrical and thermal conductivity, longevity, and resistance to corrosion. Copper tubes not only demonstrate remarkable durability but also foster a biostatic environment that inhibits germ growth within them.

BIS certification ensures that copper tubes adhere to the necessary standards for quality, safety, and performance, thereby fostering confidence among customers regarding the dependability of the products. IS 14810:2000 is a major standard that specifically addresses copper tubes used in plumbing applications.

Copper tubes, offered in diverse diameters, configurations, and sizes, meet the needs of numerous industries. They are favored for plumbing purposes in residential, commercial, and industrial environments for their capacity to uphold water quality, combat corrosion, and accommodate various system specifications. Products lacking the ISI mark are ineligible for lawful marketing, importation, or exportation in the Indian consumer market.
