ISI / BIS Certification for Wrought Aluminium Alloy Bolt and Screw Stock for General Engineering purposes

When strong yet lightweight fasteners are needed in a variety of mechanical and technical applications, wrought aluminum alloy bolts and screw stock are utilized as specialist materials. The lightweight nature of wrought aluminum alloy bolts and screw stock, which greatly lowers the total weight of the fasteners and the assemblies in which they are used, is one of the main benefits of employing them. This is especially helpful in sectors like aerospace and automobile manufacture where weight reduction is crucial. These alloys are also well-known for being resistant to corrosion, which makes them appropriate for usage in maritime and outdoor settings where exposure to moisture and inclement weather is a problem.

The technical specifications for wrought aluminum alloy bolts and screw stock for general engineering applications are outlined in IS 1284:1975. Adherence to IS 1284:1975 guarantees that screw stock and bolts made of aluminum alloy are produced in accordance with certain quality criteria. Adherence to IS 1284:1975 guarantees that screw stock and bolts made of aluminum alloy are produced in accordance with certain quality criteria. Following this standard guarantees that these fasteners will function and give the necessary degree of dependability that end users and customers have come to anticipate. Manufacturers may establish a strong reputation for providing dependable and high-quality fasteners by continuously producing aluminum alloy bolt and screw stock that satisfies quality criteria.

Note: The obligatory ISI Mark Certification must be obtained by manufacturers of wrought aluminum alloy bolt and screw stock intended for general engineering applications.

For makers of wrought aluminum alloy bolt and screw stock used for general engineering applications, ISI certification is crucial because it highlights the vital roles that quality, dependability, and safety play in a range of applications. It contributes to the overall integrity and safety of mechanical systems and structures by providing engineers, manufacturers, and end users with the reassurance that the fasteners they rely on are of the highest quality and meet strict safety requirements.

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.

Process of ISI / BIS Certification

There are two approaches for Indian manufacturers to become certified with the ISI Mark:

• Regular Procedure
• Simplified Procedure 

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

• Identifying the applicable Indian Standard
• Establishing in-house testing facilities as per the Standard's requirements

Step 2: Submission of the Application Form

• Preparing an Internal Test Report for the product by the relevant Indian Standard
• Compiling all necessary documents
• Completing the Online Application Form
• Online payment of application fees directly to BIS
• Submitting hard copies of the Application Form with all enclosures to the relevant Branch Office (BO) of BIS

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

• Identifying the applicable Indian Standard
• Establishing in-house testing facilities to meet the Standard's requirements

Step 2: Sample Testing

• Obtaining the necessary certificate for raw materials (Material Test Certificate - MTC)
• Conducting product sample testing at a BIS-recognized testing laboratory
