BIS Certification for Aluminium Phosphide Powder IS 15219

BIS certifies Aluminium Phosphide Powder to IS 15219 only when it is found to comply with the requirements of active ingredient content, purity limits, impurity limits, and safety parameters. This certification ensures adherence to Indian quality and safety standards and allows legal manufacture, sale, and distribution in India.

An introduction to ISI Mark Certification 

The national standardization, certification, and quality assurance organization in India is called the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). ISI certification is done to establish that a product meets Indian standards and satisfies regulatory safety requirements.

The certified Aluminium Phosphide Powder under IS 15219 satisfies quality requirements in terms of purity, formulation stability, and impurity content. Manufacturers who meet these standards are awarded the ISI Mark, indicating that the product is made according to Indian quality standards. 

How BIS Certification adds value

BIS certification adds value to products in the following ways:

1. Quality & Safety Assurance : Ensures safe and consistent manufacture of the product and eliminates unsafe or substandard formulations.
2. Regulatory Compliance : Allows legal production and sale in India. Products that are not BIS certified may be fined or banned.
3. Market Credibility : BIS-marked products are trusted by farmers, distributors, and regulatory authorities.
4. Competitive Advantage : Certified products are more favorable in the market compared to non-certified products.
5. Environmental Health and Safety : BIS standards minimize environmental impact by reducing risks to humans, crops, soil, and water.
