Introduction

The Quality Control Order 2023, issued by DPIIT, makes BIS certification mandatory for Vinyl Acetate Monomer under IS 12345:1988. This regulation, effective from January 1, 2024, ensures that only certified VAM is produced and sold in India, maintaining high standards for industrial use.

Why BIS Certification is Necessary for Vinyl Acetate Monomer

BIS certification ensures consistency in quality by adhering to high purity standards and stringent chemical properties for Vinyl Acetate Monomer (VAM). It also ensures compliance with safety standards, reducing risks during handling and application. Furthermore, certification provides legal assurance, helping manufacturers avoid penalties under the Bureau of Indian Standards Act, 2016. For industries relying on VAM in adhesive and coating production, BIS certification offers peace of mind by guaranteeing product quality, safety, and reliable performance across critical applications.

Overview of Indian Standard IS 12345:1988

IS 12345:1988 outlines the essential specifications for Vinyl Acetate Monomer (VAM), covering purity requirements to ensure effective industrial use, as well as clear guidelines for chemical composition, including acetylation processes and permissible additives. It also sets parameters for key physical properties, such as appearance, viscosity, and boiling point. Additionally, the standard provides packaging and safety guidelines to ensure the safe transport and storage of VAM, minimizing potential hazards. BIS certification enforces these standards, ensuring the consistent, reliable, and safe production of VAM for its various industrial applications.
