GET BIS CERTIFICATION FOR POLYPROPYLENE-RANDOM COPOLYMER PIPES FOR HOT AND COLD WATER SUPPLIES IS 15801:2008
Polypropylene random copolymers are thermoplastic resins produced through the polymerization of propylene, with ethylene or butene bonds introduced in the polymer chain. The resins provide a broad range of characteristics, and are used in a wide range of applications which includes supply of hot and cold water.
BIS is a statutory institution established under the Bureau of Indian Standards Act,1986 to promote harmonious development of the activities of standardization, marking and quality certification of goods and attending to connected matters in the country.
Polypropylene-random copolymer pipes for hot and cold water supplies product has been specified in IS 15801:2008 by Bureau of Indian Standards.
SCOPE :
