The Ministry of Steel has issued the Steel and Steel Products (Quality Control) Order, 2024 under the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) Act, 2016.
This new Order replaces the earlier 2020 QCO and became effective from 5th February 2024, the date it was published in the Official Gazette.
Any work already started under the earlier Order will remain valid.

This notification applies to Bead Wires for Tyres, which must now follow the Indian Standard IS 4824:2022.

Non-compliance with this Order will attract penalties under Section 29 of the BIS Act, 2016.

Any future revision or amendment made by BIS to this Indian Standard will automatically apply to this Order from the date of publication.
