Low-pressure regulators are crucial for controlling LPG
flow in households and industries. The IS 9798 standard specifies safety and
performance requirements for these regulators, ensuring they manage gas flow
accurately and safely under low-pressure conditions. BIS certification under IS
9798 confirms that regulators meet the necessary quality standards, providing
safe, efficient, and durable operation.
Introduction
Under the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS), low-pressure
LPG regulators must meet IS 9798 standards to ensure they function safely and
efficiently. BIS certification allows manufacturers to display the ISI mark,
signifying compliance with crucial safety standards and reliability for
consumers.
Why is BIS Certification Necessary for Low-Pressure LPG
Regulators?
Since LPG is a combustible gas, regulators must adhere to
strict safety standards to prevent gas leaks and ensure user safety. BIS
certification under IS 9798 verifies that regulators have passed essential
safety checks, assuring consumers of the productโs reliability.
Overview of Indian Standard IS 9798
IS 9798 outlines key safety and performance requirements
for low-pressure LPG regulators. It mandates leak prevention, accurate flow
control, and pressure endurance to ensure reliable operation under low-pressure
conditions. The standard also emphasizes durability through corrosion-resistant
materials and includes user safety features to minimize risks during installation
and use. These specifications guarantee that regulators perform consistently
and safely over time, enhancing both household and industrial LPG usage.
Process for BIS Certification
To obtain BIS certification under IS 9798, manufacturers
must follow these steps:
Application Submission: Manufacturers submit an application
along with technical specifications and product details.
Document Review: BIS reviews the documentation for
compliance with IS 9798.
Factory Inspection: BIS conducts an on-site inspection to
verify that manufacturing processes meet the required standards.
Sample Testing: Product samples are tested in BIS-approved
laboratories to confirm compliance with safety standards.
Certification Grant: Upon successful testing and
inspection, BIS certification is granted, allowing the manufacturer to display
the ISI mark.
Documents Required for BIS Certification
