Square tins for solid products are robust, compact containers designed for the safe storage and transport of a variety of solid goods, including food, chemicals, and other industrial materials. These tins are typically made of high-quality steel or aluminum, offering excellent durability and protection against external elements.
Their square shape optimizes space utilization, making them ideal for both storage and stacking. The tightly sealed lids ensure that the contents are protected from moisture, contamination, or damage, making square tins a reliable solution for packaging solid products across various industries.
Introduction
The Ministry of
Commerce and Industry, through the Department for Promotion of Industry and
Internal Trade, issued the Drums and Tins (Quality Control) Order, 2023, which
mandates that all manufacturers of square tins for solid products must obtain
BIS certification. This certification, which adheres to Indian Standard IS
916:2000, ensures that square tins meet the required safety, strength, and
quality criteria for safe use and reliable storage. The BIS certification
serves to protect consumers and promote standardization across industries,
guaranteeing that only high-quality square tins are available in the market.
Why is BIS Certification
Necessary for Square Tins for Solid Products?
BIS certification
is essential for square tins for solid products as it ensures that these
containers are manufactured to meet the stringent quality and safety
requirements set out by the Bureau of Indian Standards. The certification
guarantees that the tins are made from materials that are durable, reliable,
and capable of securely containing various solid products. Compliance with IS
916:2000 helps prevent the distribution of substandard products, safeguarding
consumer safety and maintaining industry standards. Non-compliance with this
certification can result in penalties under the Bureau of Indian Standards Act,
2016, ensuring accountability in the market.
Overview of Indian
Standard IS 916:2000
Indian Standard IS
916:2000 provides detailed specifications for the design, material, and
performance of square tins for solid products. This standard outlines the
physical dimensions, thickness of materials, and other critical factors such as
sealing methods to ensure the integrity and durability of the tins during
storage and transportation. It also specifies the testing methods to evaluate
the strength and resistance of the tins to external stresses such as pressure,
moisture, and physical impacts. Compliance with IS 916:2000 is mandatory for
BIS certification under the Drums and Tins (Quality Control) Order, 2023,
ensuring that manufacturers produce high-quality, reliable square tins.
