BIS Certification for Forged Brass Valves IS 13114

BIS approves Forged Brass valves with IS 13114 only when the material meets specifications of pressure rating, dimensions, strength and leakage. BIS certification enables them to be manufactured and sold in India. 

Overview of ISI Mark Approval

IS 13114 defines the requirements of the Forged Brass Valves that can be used in the water supply, industrial and plumbing sectors. It includes the quality of the material, forging, size, pressure rating, sealing, and lifespan to guarantee the efficient functionality and extended service.

Forged Brass Valves accredited under IS 13114 should be of high quality in terms of material, pressure resistance, leak resistance, and durable quality construction. Those manufacturers who fit these requirements may use the ISI Mark which is a guarantee of reliability, safety and performance. 

Importance of BIS License for products

BIS licence will have a number of benefits, which will add values to products and make them more acceptable in the market:

1. Enhanced Quality : The quality of the product adheres to the required standards of quality, which also guarantees quality production and lowers the chances of errors or malfunction.
2. Regulatory Compliance : The production and sale in India become legal. Replicas can be punished, eradicated, or barred from the marketplace.
3. Market Credibility : Forged Brass Valves manufactured by ISI earn the confidence of buyers, contractors, government bodies, and distributors.
4. Competitive Advantage : Government tendering, institutional procurement, and export markets on certified products are preferred.
5. Performance Reliability : Standards guarantee uniformity of the valve functioning at pressure and reduce the operational risks and leakage problems. 

What is Indian Standard IS 13114?

Forged Brass Valves requirements are laid down in IS 13114. This Indian Standard deals with parameters of brass material composition, forging quality, valve design, nominal size, pressure rating, mechanical strength, and leakage resistance to provide a set of high performance and durability.

The application of Forged Brass Valves that meet the IS 13114 standards is also common in the plumbing installations, water distributing systems, industrial pipelines, and gas applications, where high strength, resistance to corrosion, and reliable management of the flow are vital.
