Acrylonitrile (C₃H₃N) is a critical industrial chemical with a wide range of applications, including the production of synthetic fibers like Nylon and Acrylic, manufacturing resins and plastics, and in the production of nitrile rubber used in automotive and industrial sectors. Compliance with IS 12540:1988 guarantees that Acrylonitrile meets the required purity, safety, and performance standards, ensuring its reliable and safe use in these vital industries.
Introduction
As per the Quality Control Order 2023, DPIIT mandates BIS certification for Acrylonitrile under IS 12540:1988, effective from January 1, 2024. This regulation ensures that only certified Acrylonitrile is produced and marketed in India, ensuring the highest standards of quality and safety in industries dependent on Acrylonitrile for critical manufacturing processes.
Why BIS Certification is Necessary for Acrylonitrile
BIS certification guarantees that Acrylonitrile meets industry standards as per
IS 12540:1988, confirming its suitability for critical industrial applications.
The certification ensures that Acrylonitrile adheres to all safety and
environmental regulations, promoting safe handling, storage, and use.
Non-compliance with these standards may result in penalties under the Bureau of
Indian Standards Act, 2016, making certification essential for manufacturers
seeking to ensure both legal compliance and product safety.
Overview of Indian Standard IS 12540:1988
IS 12540:1988 outlines key quality requirements for Acrylonitrile, including
strict purity standards with acceptable limits on impurities like water,
acetone, and byproducts. It also specifies essential physical properties such
as density, boiling point, and flashpoint, along with guidelines for chemical
composition, ensuring that concentrations of cyanide, hydrocyanic acid, and
other components remain within safe limits. Additionally, the standard includes
packaging and labeling requirements to ensure safe storage and prevent
contamination. BIS certification ensures compliance with these standards,
guaranteeing the safe, efficient, and reliable use of Acrylonitrile in
industrial applications.
