Wrought Aluminium and Aluminium Alloys- Extruded Round Tubes and Hollow Sections are essential materials used in general engineering applications, known for their lightweight, durability, and excellent corrosion resistance. These products are made through the extrusion process, which involves forcing heated aluminium alloy through a die to form various tube and section shapes.
They are widely used in construction, automotive, and industrial applications where strength, flexibility, and ease of fabrication are crucial. These extruded tubes and sections offer superior machinability, good electrical conductivity, and are ideal for use in structures that require both formability and resistance to harsh environments.
Introduction
BIS certification
is a key requirement for manufacturers of Wrought Aluminium and Aluminium
Alloys- Extruded Round Tubes and Hollow Sections for General Engineering
Purposes. The Ministry of Commerce and
Industries (Department for Promotion of Industry & Internal Trade)
issued the Aluminium and Aluminium Alloy
Products (Quality Control) Order, 2023, which mandates that manufacturers
must obtain BIS certification (ISI
Mark) for their products before selling them in the Indian market. This ensures
that extruded tubes and hollow sections meet the stringent requirements of Indian Standard IS 1285:2002, which
governs the quality, dimensions, and mechanical properties of these products.
The BIS certification process helps manufacturers demonstrate their compliance
with national standards, ensuring that the products are safe, reliable, and
suitable for a wide range of engineering applications.
Why is BIS Certification
Necessary for Wrought Aluminium and Aluminium Alloys- Extruded Round Tube and
Hollow Sections?
BIS certification is crucial for Wrought Aluminium and Aluminium Alloys- Extruded Round Tubes and Hollow Sections as it ensures that these products meet the quality, safety, and performance standards specified by Indian Standard IS 1285:2002. These materials are integral to engineering structures, where the strength, durability, and precision of the tubes and sections are vital. Without BIS certification, manufacturers risk providing substandard products that may fail to meet the necessary mechanical properties, leading to safety issues in applications such as construction and transportation. Compliance with BIS certification not only assures the quality and reliability of the extruded sections but also helps manufacturers comply with the Bureau of Indian Standards Act, 2016, avoiding legal consequences for non-compliance.
Overview of Indian
Standard IS 1285:2002
Indian Standard IS 1285:2002 specifies
the requirements for Wrought Aluminium and Aluminium Alloys- Extruded Round
Tubes and Hollow Sections for General Engineering Purposes. This standard
covers the specifications for dimensions, tolerances, and mechanical properties
such as tensile strength, hardness, and corrosion resistance. It also outlines
the testing methods to ensure that the products meet the necessary requirements
for their intended engineering applications. The standard ensures that the
extruded tubes and sections maintain consistent quality, durability, and
performance, making them suitable for use in critical infrastructure and
industrial applications. Compliance with IS
1285:2002 is mandatory for manufacturers seeking BIS certification,
ensuring that the products are both reliable and safe for use in various
engineering sectors.
The BIS
certification process for Wrought Aluminium and Aluminium Alloys- Extruded
Round Tube and Hollow Sections for General Engineering Purposes involves
multiple steps, designed to thoroughly evaluate a product's compliance with the
required standards. Here is a general overview of the certification process:
1. Application Submission: Manufacturers
must submit an application form along with required documentation to BIS.
2. Documentation Review: BIS reviews the
submitted documents to ensure completeness and correctness.
3. Factory Inspection: BIS officials
conduct an on-site inspection of the manufacturing facility to assess the
production process and quality control measures.
4. Sample Testing: Product samples are
taken and tested in BIS-approved laboratories to verify compliance with Indian
standards.
5. Certification Grant: Upon successful
completion of the inspection and testing, BIS grants certification, allowing
the manufacturer to use the BIS mark on their products.
To apply for BIS
certification, manufacturers need to submit the following documents:
● Application form
● Manufacturing process details
● Quality control plan
● Test reports from BIS-approved
laboratories
● Factory layout and equipment
details
● Proof of business registration
● Product specifications and
technical details
● Declaration of conformity to
Indian standards
Additionally, manufacturers may be required to provide proof of compliance with environmental and safety regulations, depending on the specific type of product being certified.
