Hexagon head screws of product Grades A and B are precision-engineered fasteners designed for applications demanding high strength and dimensional accuracy. With a size range from M1.6 to M64, these screws are ideal for industrial, automotive, and structural uses, providing secure and durable connections in assemblies.
Manufactured from superior-grade materials, they exhibit excellent mechanical properties, corrosion resistance, and reliability under varying environmental conditions. These screws are compatible with a range of nuts and washers, making them versatile for diverse fastening requirements.
Introduction
Hexagon head screws
are integral to various industries, offering secure fastening solutions across
applications ranging from light-duty machinery to heavy industrial equipment.
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 BIS certification (ISI Mark) for manufacturers of hexagon
head screws within the size range M1.6 to M64. This certification ensures
compliance with IS 1364 (Part 2): 2018,
which defines the dimensional, material, and mechanical requirements for these
screws. BIS certification assures that the screws meet stringent quality and
performance standards, enabling their safe use in critical applications. The
order also enforces penalties under the Bureau
of Indian Standards Act, 2016, for non-compliance, emphasizing the
importance of adherence to Indian regulatory norms for market access and
consumer trust.
Why is BIS Certification
Necessary for Hexagon Head Screws?
BIS certification is essential for hexagon head screws to ensure they conform to the quality and safety benchmarks outlined in IS 1364 (Part 2): 2018. This certification validates the screws' dimensional accuracy, tensile strength, and resistance to mechanical stress, ensuring reliability in various applications. The Bolts, Nuts, and Fasteners (Quality Control) Order, 2023, makes BIS certification mandatory, preventing the sale of substandard products in the Indian market. Certified screws enhance safety in critical installations, reduce the risk of mechanical failures, and build consumer trust. Non-compliance can result in severe penalties under the Bureau of Indian Standards Act, 2016, highlighting the importance of certification for legal compliance, market credibility, and customer assurance.
Overview of Indian
Standard IS 1364 (Part 2): 2018
IS 1364 (Part 2): 2018 specifies the
dimensions, mechanical properties, and material requirements for hexagon head
screws of Grades A and B. Covering sizes from M1.6 to M64, the standard ensures
that the screws meet precise dimensional and performance criteria, making them
suitable for industrial and structural applications. It includes specifications
for thread types, tensile strength, and torque performance, ensuring
compatibility with corresponding nuts and washers. The standard is vital for
ensuring consistent quality and interchangeability of screws in complex
assemblies. Under the Bolts, Nuts, and
Fasteners (Quality Control) Order, 2023, compliance with IS 1364 (Part 2):
2018 is mandatory for market access, ensuring that all certified screws meet
the required national and international standards.
The BIS
certification process for Hexagon Head Bolts, Screws and Nuts of Product Grades
A and B – Hexagon Head Screws (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.
