Pneumatic tyres for two and three-wheeled motor vehicles are
essential components that significantly impact the safety, comfort, and overall
performance of vehicles. These tyres must meet specific standards to ensure
reliability under various conditions, including road surfaces, load capacity,
and temperature extremes. BIS certification under IS 15627 guarantees that the
tyres comply with the necessary safety and performance parameters, ensuring
safe, efficient, and durable products for consumers.
Introduction
Under the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS), pneumatic tyres
for two and three-wheeled motor vehicles are governed by IS 15627. This
standard outlines the specific requirements for the material, design,
performance, and durability of tyres used on motorcycles, scooters, and
three-wheeled vehicles. The BIS certification ensures that these tyres meet the
national safety and quality standards, providing users with products that are
reliable and safe to use on the road.
Why is BIS Certification Necessary for Pneumatic Tyres for
Two and Three-Wheeled Motor Vehicles?
BIS certification is essential for pneumatic tyres as they
directly affect the vehicle's safety, handling, and performance. These tyres
must be able to withstand road conditions, support vehicle weight, maintain
proper inflation, and resist wear. Certification under IS 15627 ensures that
the tyres meet specific quality standards, providing peace of mind for
consumers. The ISI mark on tyres confirms that they are reliable, durable, and
safe for use in two and three-wheeled motor vehicles.
Overview of Indian Standard IS 15627
Indian Standard IS 15627 specifies the safety and
performance requirements for pneumatic tyres used in two and three-wheeled
motor vehicles. It covers key factors such as material strength, ensuring tyres
are durable and wear-resistant; load and pressure ratings, which define the
tyre’s capacity to safely carry vehicle weight and maintain proper inflation;
and durability, ensuring tyres can withstand heat, moisture, and UV exposure
without degrading. The standard also focuses on grip and traction to enhance
vehicle stability and handling, and provides guidelines for tread design to
ensure optimal performance on various road surfaces.
Process for BIS Certification
The BIS certification process for pneumatic tyres for two
and three-wheeled motor vehicles under IS 15627 involves the following steps:
Application Submission: Manufacturers submit an application
with technical specifications, product details, and quality control
documentation.
Document Review: BIS reviews the documents to verify
compliance with IS 15627 standards.
Factory Inspection: BIS conducts an inspection of the
manufacturing facility to ensure that production processes adhere to the
prescribed standards.
Sample Testing: Tyre samples are tested in BIS-approved
laboratories to assess their performance, durability, and safety as per IS
15627.
Certification Grant: After successful testing and
inspection, BIS grants certification, allowing the manufacturer to use the ISI
mark on the tyres.
Documents Required for BIS Certification
To apply for BIS certification, manufacturers must submit
the following documents:
These documents help confirm that the tyres meet the required performance and safety standards.
