Solid drawn copper and copper alloy tubes are cylindrical metal tubes that are created using the solid drawing manufacturing technique. The materials that make up these tubes can range from pure copper to different copper alloys. In order to generate seamless tubes, this manufacturing process includes pulling a billet of solid copper or copper alloy through a die.
Both the effective transmission of heat between fluids in heat exchangers and the condensation of gases into liquid states through cooling in condenser systems are made possible by solid drawn copper and copper alloy tubes. They are crucial parts of many different sectors where effective procedures for heat transmission, condensation, and cooling are required. They are essential to power generation, industrial heat exchange systems, air conditioning, and refrigeration because of their exceptional thermal conductivity, resistance to corrosion, and flexibility in various system sizes and designs.
Under IS 1545: 1994, all solid drawn copper and copper alloy tubes used in condensers and heat exchangers are required to be part of the ISI Certification Scheme.
The requirements for solid drawn (seamless) copper and copper alloy tubes with outer diameters ranging from 5 mm to 80 mm, inclusive of both extremes, are described in this standard. Heat exchangers and condensers are the planned applications for these tubes.
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
