Hexagon head bolts of product Grades A and B are precision-engineered fasteners designed for versatile use in various industries, including automotive, construction, and heavy machinery. Available in a size range from M1.6 to M64, these bolts are manufactured to offer superior mechanical performance, durability, and ease of assembly.
Designed to pair with compatible nuts and screws, these bolts ensure secure connections, even under high mechanical loads. Their dimensional accuracy and material quality make them ideal for both critical and non-critical applications requiring strength and reliability.
Introduction
The Bolts, Nuts, and Fasteners (Quality
Control) Order, 2023, issued by the Ministry
of Commerce and Industry (Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal
Trade), mandates that all manufacturers of hexagon head bolts of product
Grades A and B, within the size range of M1.6 to M64, obtain BIS certification
(ISI Mark). This regulation ensures that these fasteners conform to the quality
and performance requirements specified in IS
1364 (Part 1): 2018, which outlines the dimensional and mechanical
properties for these products. BIS certification guarantees the bolts'
suitability for use in diverse applications, assuring compliance with safety,
reliability, and durability standards. Non-compliance with the order attracts
penalties under the Bureau of Indian
Standards Act, 2016, reinforcing the importance of certification for market
access and consumer trust.
Why is BIS Certification
Necessary for Hexagon Head Bolts?
BIS certification for hexagon head bolts is crucial to ensure that these fasteners meet the stringent requirements outlined in IS 1364 (Part 1): 2018. This certification guarantees that the bolts adhere to quality benchmarks such as dimensional accuracy, tensile strength, and corrosion resistance. The Bolts, Nuts, and Fasteners (Quality Control) Order, 2023 enforces mandatory BIS certification to safeguard end-users against substandard products that could compromise safety and performance. By obtaining the ISI Mark, manufacturers demonstrate compliance with Indian Standards, ensuring reliability in critical applications like structural assembly and heavy-duty equipment. Failure to comply with these requirements not only impacts market credibility but also invites legal penalties under the Bureau of Indian Standards Act, 2016, making certification indispensable for business operations in India.
Overview of Indian Standard IS 1364 (Part 1): 2018
IS 1364 (Part 1): 2018 specifies the
dimensions, material properties, and performance requirements for hexagon head
bolts of product Grades A and B, covering size ranges from M1.6 to M64. This
standard ensures that these bolts meet precise mechanical and dimensional
criteria, making them suitable for high-performance and safety-critical
applications. It includes guidelines on thread profiles, tensile properties,
and tolerance levels, ensuring compatibility with corresponding nuts and
screws. The standard aims to enhance the durability, reliability, and performance
of bolts in demanding environments. Compliance with this standard is mandatory
under the Bolts, Nuts, and Fasteners
(Quality Control) Order, 2023, ensuring that certified products meet
national and international quality benchmarks.
The BIS
certification process for Hexagon Head Bolts, Screws and Nuts of product Grades
A and B – Hexagon Head Bolts (Size Range M 1.6 To M 64) 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 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.
