Steel wire ropes are an essential component in a wide range of general-purpose engineering applications. Their strength, flexibility, and durability make them ideal for lifting, hauling, and guying applications. Recently, steel wire ropes have been announced on the BIS list, further solidifying their importance in the Indian market.
Steel wire ropes are constructed by stranding together multiple strands of high-strength steel wires. The number of strands and the arrangement of the wires determine the strength, flexibility, and crush resistance of the rope. Steel wire ropes are typically galvanized to protect them from corrosion.
Steel wire ropes are used in a wide variety of general-purpose engineering applications, including:
Lifting: Steel wire ropes are used to lift heavy loads in a variety of applications, such as cranes, hoists, and winches.
Hauling: Steel wire ropes are used to haul heavy loads, such as logs and construction materials.
Guying: Steel wire ropes are used to support structures, such as towers and antennas.
The recent announcement of steel wire ropes on the BIS Certification Mandatory Product list is a significant development for the Indian market. This means that all foreign manufacturers of steel wire ropes must obtain a BIS certificate before they can import their products into India. This will help to ensure steel wire ropes are of the highest quality and meet the needs of users in a variety of industries. The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) is the national standards body of India. It is responsible for formulating Indian Standards and ensuring that products conform to these standards.
IS 2266: 2019 - Steel Wire Ropes for General Engineering Purposes
IS 2365: 2018 - Steel Wire Suspension Ropes for Lifts, Elevators and Hoists
IS 1855:2022 - Stranded steel wire ropes for winding and man–riding haulages in mines
IS 1856:2005 - Steel Wire Rope for haulage
The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) certification plays a pivotal role in ensuring the integrity and quality of products
Obtaining the ISI mark license for Steel Wire Ropes involves a systematic process to ensure that the product meets the required quality and safety standards. Here is a step-by-step procedure:
Step 1: Submit an application for certification to BIS, indicating the specific product(s) for which certification is sought.
Step 2: BIS conducts tests on the samples provided by the manufacturer to verify compliance with the relevant quality standards.
Step 3: BIS may conduct a factory inspection to ensure that the manufacturing process meets the standards.
Step 4: All necessary documents, including test reports and quality control procedures, will be reviewed.
Step 5: Upon successful completion of these steps, BIS grants the certification, allowing the manufacturer to use the ISI mark on their products.
