EVA also plays a crucial role in the medical and healthcare sector, where its biocompatibility makes it suitable for medical devices and packaging. Additionally, in the automotive industry, EVA is used for sealing, insulation, and vibration-damping applications. The BIS certification under IS 13601:1993 ensures that EVA copolymers meet the stringent quality standards necessary for these diverse industrial uses.

Introduction

In line with the Quality Control Order 2023, the DPIIT has mandated that all Ethylene Vinyl Acetate (EVA) Copolymers be certified according to IS 13601:1993, effective from January 1, 2024. This regulation is intended to standardize the production and sale of high-quality EVA copolymers in India, improving product safety and reliability across multiple industries. 

Why BIS Certification is Necessary for Ethylene Vinyl Acetate (EVA) Copolymers

BIS certification for EVA Copolymers under IS 13601:1993 ensures that the product meets stringent quality, safety, and performance standards for various industrial applications. This certification offers several key benefits: it provides product assurance, confirming that EVA copolymers are suitable for use in packaging, footwear, and medical products, while adhering to established quality standards. It also ensures regulatory compliance, helping manufacturers meet legal requirements and avoid penalties under the Bureau of Indian Standards Act, 2016. Additionally, BIS certification boosts consumer confidence by assuring that certified products are safe, reliable, and meet industry norms for diverse applications.

Overview of Indian Standard IS 13601:1993

IS 13601:1993 outlines key parameters for Ethylene Vinyl Acetate (EVA) Copolymers, ensuring their quality and performance for industrial use. These include chemical composition, which specifies the required ratio of ethylene to vinyl acetate, along with any additives in the formulation. The physical properties section covers characteristics like density, melt flow index, and tensile strength, ensuring the copolymer’s consistency and performance. Additionally, performance standards require EVA copolymers to meet durability, flexibility, and stress-crack resistance criteria, making them suitable for a range of applications. The standard also includes packaging and labeling guidelines to ensure safe handling, transport, and compliance with industry safety protocols. By enforcing these specifications, BIS ensures that only high-quality EVA copolymers are available for critical industrial applications.

Process for BIS Certification for Ethylene Vinyl Acetate (EVA) Copolymers

1. Application Submission: Manufacturers must submit an application with necessary documents to BIS for EVA     Copolymer  certification.
2.  Documentation Review: BIS reviews the submitted documents for compliance with IS 13601:1993.
3.  Factory Inspection: BIS officials conduct a detailed inspection of the manufacturing facility, evaluating production       processes and quality control measures.
4.  Sample Testing: Samples of the EVA copolymer are tested in BIS-approved laboratories to ensure compliance with the    required standards for physical and chemical properties.
5.  Certification Grant: Upon successful testing and inspection, BIS grants certification, allowing the manufacturer to use the ISI mark on the EVA copolymer products.
