BIS Certification for Shovels IS 274 (Part 1 & 2)

• Worker safety: Certified shovels decrease the chance of the blade breaking or deforming when used heavily.
• Greater Tool Life: The standard of material quality guarantees a longer longevity and less replacement cost.
• Uniform Product Quality: All shovels are of the same thickness, shape, and strength of the blade.
• Bulk Procurement Facilities: ISI marking eases the process of obtaining approval of mass institutional purchases.
• Reduced Customer Complaints: Quality compliance helps to reduce defects, returns and field failures.

Key Technical Parameters of IS 274 (Part 1 and Part 2)

The significance of IS 274 is that it makes sure that shovels are strong, safe and suitable to be used in manual operations many times. The standard gives the requirements in terms of materials used in blades and heat treatment in order to obtain the sufficient hardness and toughness.

It establishes dimensions, blade profile, thickness and tolerances that are well handled and dug. Bend resistance, impact strength, and workmanship quality tests are mandatory to ascertain load resistance. A surface finish, corrosion protection, marking and ISI labeling provisions guarantee longer service life and traceability.
