Because they are easy to fabricate and can be recycled, wrought aluminum and aluminum alloy bars, rods, tubes, sections, plates, and sheets are highly useful materials in engineering and other sectors.
Aluminum and its alloys are widely utilized in electrical engineering for a variety of applications, including electrical enclosures, busbars, generators, transformers, motors, and power transmission and distribution. Because of their electrical conductivity, lightweight nature, and corrosion resistance, they are indispensable in the design and manufacturing of several electrical systems and components. By lowering energy usage and their negative effects on the environment, they help to create a more sustainable and effective electrical infrastructure.
Under IS 5082:1998, all wrought aluminum and aluminum alloy bars, rods, tubes, sections, plates, and sheets used for electrical purposes are required to be certified by ISI.
The requirements for wrought aluminum and aluminum alloy bars, rods, tubes, sections, plates, and sheets used in electrical applications are described in this standard. It describes their mechanical properties, electrical resistivity/conductivity, and chemical makeup. This standard applies to extruded angles, channels, different sections, profiles, tubes, and hollow sections having a thickness of 3 mm or more, as well as extruded bars and rods with a diameter larger than 6 mm.
Without the ISI Mark, this product cannot be marketed, imported, or exported into the Indian consumer market.
Indian Standards Institute, or ISI was renamed the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) in 1987. The official mark that the Bureau of Indian Standards provides for manufacturers of various goods is the ISI Mark. It is used to indicate compliance with Indian standards (IS) set by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) and has been used as a conformity marking for industrial products. Manufacturers received permission from BIS to use the ISI Mark on items that comply with relevant Indian requirements through the product certification program.
Only manufacturers (domestic or foreign) who produce the finished product will be awarded ISI Certification. This will not be given to any product importers, traders, dealers, or distributors.

There are two approaches for Indian manufacturers to become certified with the ISI Mark:
Regular Procedure
With the possible exception of cases deemed "All India first," which might take up to 180 days, the licensing procedure is expected to be finished in 120 days. This timeline starts on the day the application is received, assuming that at different points in time the documentation, unit assessment, and product conformance are all deemed acceptable.
Step 1: Manufacturing Unit Customization in Compliance with Applicable Indian Standards
Step 2: Submission of the Application Form

Simplified Procedure
This is a much faster process than the standard procedure. After a factory inspection is deemed satisfactory and the initial evaluation establishes that the sample complies with the applicable Indian Standard(s), the license application process is expected to be finished in 30 days.
Step 1: Adapting the Manufacturing Unit to Comply with the Relevant Indian Standard
Step 2: Sample Testing
