Hexagon nuts, designed for use with hexagon bolts and screws, are essential components in the fastener industry. Manufactured in product Grade C, these nuts are designed to securely fasten threaded bolts, screws, and other components in applications that require a strong, reliable connection.
Available in size ranges from M5 to M64, these nuts offer superior strength, resistance to wear, and high performance in industrial, automotive, and construction settings. Made with precision, they provide a firm grip, ensuring that connections remain intact under mechanical stress.
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 manufacturers of hexagon nuts, specifically those in
product Grade C and size range M5 to M64, obtain BIS certification (ISI Mark)
before selling them in the Indian market. This regulation is part of the
broader initiative to ensure that all fasteners meet the mechanical strength,
dimensional accuracy, and performance criteria set forth by Indian Standards.
The IS 1363 (Part 3): 2018 standard
governs these hexagon nuts, ensuring that they meet the required specifications
for safe and reliable use across various sectors. This certification guarantees
that these products are safe, durable, and suitable for critical applications
in construction, manufacturing, and machinery.
Why is BIS Certification
Necessary for Hexagon Nuts?
BIS certification for hexagon nuts is essential for ensuring that these components meet the stringent quality standards required for secure and effective fastening in various industrial applications. By adhering to IS 1363 (Part 3): 2018, manufacturers confirm that their hexagon nuts exhibit the required mechanical properties, such as tensile strength and dimensional accuracy, for dependable performance. The Bolts, Nuts, and Fasteners (Quality Control) Order, 2023 mandates this certification to uphold product reliability, safety, and consistency across all products. Non-compliance with these regulations could lead to penalties under the Bureau of Indian Standards Act, 2016, making BIS certification a key factor for manufacturers to enter the Indian market and gain consumer trust.
Overview of Indian
Standard IS 1363 (Part 3): 2018
IS 1363 (Part 3): 2018 outlines the
specifications for hexagon nuts, detailing the required dimensions, materials,
and mechanical properties for sizes ranging from M5 to M64. This standard
ensures that the nuts, used in conjunction with bolts and screws, deliver
superior performance in both light and heavy-duty applications. It includes
requirements for the nuts' mechanical strength, threading accuracy, and
materials, all of which are essential for the nuts' long-term durability and
reliability. By following these guidelines, manufacturers produce high-quality
hexagon nuts that are suitable for a wide range of industries, from automotive
to construction, ensuring safety and performance. The Bolts, Nuts, and Fasteners (Quality Control) Order, 2023 requires
compliance with this standard, ensuring that only certified products reach the
market.
The BIS
certification process for Hexagon Head Bolts, Screws and Nuts of product Grade
C – Hexagon Nuts (Size Range M5 to M64) 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.
