BIS CERTIFICATION FOR STAINLESS STEEL BLOOMS, BILLETS & SLABS IS 6529:1996

In today's competitive landscape, maintaining market presence without a certified, high-quality product can be challenging. Obtaining a BIS license may also be essential for selling products in the Indian market. To achieve BIS certification and ensure product quality, manufacturers must adhere to the specified Indian standards.

Let's delve deeper into at IS 6529:1996 for stainless steel blooms, billets, and slabs used for forgings.

This standard outlines the specifications for stainless steel blooms, billets, and slabs intended for forging purposes.

The choice of steel manufacturing method and products lies with the manufacturer, unless specified otherwise in the order.

Blooms, billets, and slabs can be produced through rolling, extrusion, hammering, or processing from ingots or continuously cast slabs, blooms, or billets. Following the processing of ingots or continuously cast products, adequate discard should be employed to guarantee freedom from pipe, detrimental segregation, and other harmful defects. It's crucial that blooms, billets, and slabs are free from cracks, surface flaws, laps, rough, jagged, and imperfect edges, along with any other imperfections that could lead to defects in the end product.

A well-equipped and adequately staffed laboratory is essential for conducting various tests according to the methods outlined in the specification. IS 8910 outlines the general requirements for material supply. When tested, the material must meet the specifications outlined in the standard.

TESTS

The subsequent test must be conducted for Stainless Steel Blooms, Billets & Slabs.

Freedom from Defects
Chemical composition
Hardness test
Dimensional Tolerance
Corrosion resistance test

MARKING

Marking procedures must adhere to IS 6529:1996 standards. Each bloom, billet, and slab must be labeled with the cast number and steel designation. Additionally, the standard mark (ISI Mark) may be applied to the material. Manufacturers of stainless steel blooms, billets, and slabs for forgings are required to obtain a BIS license from the Bureau of Indian Standards to use the standard mark (ISI Mark). The BIS grants this license following a successful assessment of manufacturing infrastructure, processes, quality control, and testing capabilities conducted during an on-site visit to the manufacturing premises.

PROCESS FOR BIS ISI MARK CERTIFICATION

BIS CERTIFICATION PROCESS

Acquiring a BIS license requires a comprehensive review of manufacturing infrastructure, quality control abilities, testing resources, and production procedures. This thorough assessment guarantees that products not only adhere to regulations but also prioritize consumer safety and reliability.
