Introduction

The Quality Control Order 2023, issued by DPIIT, mandates BIS certification for Ether as per IS 336:1973. Effective January 1, 2024, this regulation ensures the standardization of ether quality and safety for industrial and laboratory applications, minimizing risks associated with its usage.

Why BIS Certification is Necessary for Ether

BIS certification under IS 336:1973 ensures that Ether meets stringent quality and safety standards, providing assurance of product purity and reliability. It also guarantees adherence to safety protocols for handling and use, minimizing risks in industrial applications. The certification builds market confidence among manufacturers, consumers, and regulatory bodies, promoting trust in the product’s performance. Furthermore, non-compliance with the Quality Control Order 2023 can result in penalties under the Bureau of Indian Standards Act, 2016, underscoring the importance of certification for legal and operational compliance.

Overview of Indian Standard IS 336:1973

IS 336:1973 specifies essential parameters for Ether, including purity requirements, with a minimum content of diethyl ether, and physical properties such as boiling point range, specific gravity, and refractive index. The standard also sets limits on impurities, such as alcohol content, acidity, and other contaminants, ensuring the chemical’s performance and safety. Additionally, the packaging and labeling guidelines ensure safe storage, handling, and transportation, further preserving product quality. BIS certification ensures compliance with these parameters, safeguarding the reliability and safety of Ether for its critical applications in pharmaceuticals, laboratories, and industrial processes.
