Adherence to
quality requirements for single and double cold-reduced electrolytic
chromium/chromium oxide-coated steel sheets or coils is guaranteed by the BIS
Certification for Cold-reduced Electrolytic Chromium/Chromium Oxide-coated
Steel, as per IS 12591:2018. According to this standard, nominal thicknesses for
single-reduced ECCS must be between 0.17 and 0.49 mm, and for double-reduced
ECCS, between 0.14 and 0.29 mm. The Ministry of Steel's Quality Control Order,
which goes into effect on February 5, 2024, requires compliance in order to
manufacture, import, or sell certain items in India.
Introduction
In accordance with
IS 12591:2018, cold-reduced electrolytic chromium/chromium oxide-coated steel
must meet the requirements of the Steel and Steel Products (Quality Control)
Order, 2024. Single and double cold-reduced electrolytic chromium/chromium
oxide-coated steel (ECCS) sheets or coils must meet the specifications outlined
in this standard. For manufacturers to guarantee product quality and market
conformity, they must receive BIS certification. This certification procedure,
which is supervised by the Bureau of Indian Standards, entails a comprehensive
evaluation of production procedures, manufacturing facilities, and quality
control methods.
Why is BIS certification necessary for Cold-reduced
Electrolytic Chromium/Chromium oxide – coated steel IS 12591:2018?
Cold-reduced
electrolytic chromium/chromium oxide-coated steel IS 12591:2018 requires BIS
certification in accordance with the Ministry of Steel's Steel and Steel
Products (Quality Control) Order, 2024. By guaranteeing that the steel goods
fulfil predetermined safety and quality requirements, this certification
protects consumer interests and advances standardisation. For manufacturers and
importers to lawfully sell these goods in the Indian market, they need to have
this certification.
Overview of Indian
Standard IS 12591:2018
The specifications for cold-reduced electrolytic
chromium/chromium oxide-coated steel (ECCS) sheets and coils are outlined in
Indian Standard IS 12591:2018, which also covers testing procedures, mechanical
characteristics, surface finishes, and thickness ranges. In order to guarantee
the quality and safety of their products, manufacturers and importers must get
a BIS licence for Cold-reduced Electrolytic Chromium/Chromium oxide-coated
steel IS 12591:2018, which was mandated by the Ministry of Steel on February 5,
2024. For applications in home appliances, automobile components, and
architectural elements, this certification is essential.
Process for BIS Certification
The BIS certification
process for Cold-reduced electrolytic
chromium/chromium oxide–coated steel IS 12591:2018 and involves multiple steps
designed to thoroughly evaluate a product's compliance with the required
standards. Here is a general overview of the certification process:
1. Application Submission: Manufacturers must submit an application form
along with the required documentation to BIS.
2. Documentation Review: BIS reviews the submitted documents to ensure
completeness and correctness.
3. Factory Inspection: BIS officials conduct an on-site inspection of
the manufacturing facility to assess the production process and quality control
measures.
4. Sample Testing: Product samples are taken and tested in BIS-approved
laboratories to verify compliance with Indian standards.
5. Certification Grant: Upon successful completion of the inspection and
testing, BIS grants certification, allowing the manufacturer to use the BIS
mark on their products.
To apply for BIS certification, manufacturers need to submit the following documents:
● Application form
● Manufacturing process details
● Quality control plan
● Test reports from BIS-approved laboratories
● Factory layout and equipment details
● Proof of business registration
● Product specifications and technical details
● Declaration of conformity to Indian standards
Additionally, manufacturers may be required to provide proof of compliance with environmental and safety regulations, depending on the specific type of product being certified.
EVTL must get BIS Certification for Cold-reduced
Electrolytic Chromium/Chromium oxide-coated steel IS 12591:2018 in order to
guarantee adherence to Indian quality requirements and to boost its reputation
in the marketplace. According to the Ministry of Steel's Quality Control Order,
which goes into effect on February 5, 2024, all steel products must meet the
prescribed Indian Standard and have the Bureau of Indian Standards' (BIS)
Standard Mark in order to be certified. By earning this accreditation, EVTL
shows that it is dedicated to providing high-quality products, which enhances
customer confidence and makes it easier to enter both local and foreign
markets. Following IS 12591:2018 guarantees legal compliance and puts EVTL in a
competitive position within the steel sector.
