To acquire a BIS certificate for Rubberseed Fatty Acids, manufacturers need to ensure adherence to relevant Indian standards. IS 12124:1987 serves as the Indian standard for Rubberseed Fatty Acids.

Let's examine IS 12124:1987 for Rubberseed Fatty Acids more closely.

This standard outlines the specifications, sampling procedures, and testing methods for Rubberseed Fatty Acids.

There are two varieties of material: soft and hard. The soft type represents the distilled form of rubberseed fatty acid. Meanwhile, the fatty acid derived from rubberseed oil, whether hydrogenated before or after distillation, is categorized as the hard type.

The material is obtained by distilling raw rubberseed fatty acid, which is obtained through the breakdown of rubberseed oil. If a solvent is employed in the production of oil or fatty acid, a minimum flash point is mandatory. It must be devoid of sediments, impurities, suspended particles, foreign matter, and separated water, exhibiting clarity upon melting. Additionally, it must adhere to the stipulations outlined in the standard.

TESTS

The subsequent test must be conducted for Rubberseed Fatty Acid.

• Test for free mineral acidity

• Determination of ash

PACKING AND MARKING

Packing and labeling must comply with the standards outlined in IS 12124:1987. The material should be placed in suitable containers, securely sealed, and labeled with vital information including the material name and grade, net weight, batch or lot number, manufacturing date, manufacturer's name, and trademark. Additionally, the container may optionally display the standard mark (ISI Mark).

To utilize the standard mark (ISI Mark), the manufacturer is required to acquire a BIS license for Rubberseed Fatty Acids from the Bureau of Indian Standards. This license is awarded following a comprehensive evaluation of manufacturing infrastructure, processes, quality control, and testing capabilities conducted during an onsite visit to the manufacturing premises by BIS.
