ISI / BIS Certification for Hexagon Head Bolts, Screws and Nuts of product Grade C Hexagon Head Bolts (Size Range M 5 to M 64)

Hexagon head fasteners, which vary in size from M 5 to M 64, are a valued class of fasteners that fall under the product grade C classification. In a variety of industrial and construction applications where dependable and secure fastening is crucial, these hexagon head bolts are indispensable parts. A product grade of C represents a compromise between affordability and accuracy. This category of hexagon head bolts is designed to satisfy industry requirements and offers dependable performance without the more slack tolerances of grade B or the more stringent specifications of grade A. This makes them ideal for a wide range of general-purpose applications where a robust and secure connection is still necessary but exact tolerances are not the main issue.

IS 1363 (Part 1):2019 lays forth specifications for product grade C hexagon head bolts, which come in sizes ranging from M 5 to M 64. Adherence to this standard aids producers in creating bolts that fulfill certain quality standards, enhancing the dependability and security of goods and constructions that use these fasteners. Manufacturers may enhance their image and boost customer satisfaction by adhering to these set criteria and gaining the trust of customers. Producers that follow these guidelines make sure their goods meet legal requirements, which lowers the possibility of legal problems and liabilities.

Note: In order to sell their products to Indian customers, manufacturers of hexagon head bolts, screws, and nuts that come under product grade C more especially, hexagon head bolts with sizes ranging from M 5 to M 64 must receive the required ISI Mark Certification.

An essential guarantee of the reliability, accuracy, and safety of these basic fasteners which are used in a wide range of industrial applications, from manufacturing to construction is ISI Certification. It guarantees the strength, precision, and dependability of these bolts over the designated size range by ensuring that the right materials and production techniques are used during their creation.  With their wide range of uses, these fasteners are far less likely to fail structurally or malfunction thanks to their certification, which attests to their design and construction meeting safety and performance criteria.

About ISI / BIS Certification

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.
