ERCS Private Limited is tickled pink to enlighten you on the triumph of conducting an audit for copper products in Malaysia. The victory was achieved under the mentorship of Mr. Shivam Shrestha, a BIS consultant at ERCS, with penetrating insights into the BIS certification process.

The audit was about the BIS certification requirements for copper products: IS 613, IS 4171, and IS 12444. These copper products are copper rods and electrical purposes, copper rods and general engineering purposes, and copper wire rods for electrical appliances, respectively. The manufacturing unit is in Malaysia.

Products for BIS Audit:

The audit made sure that the copper products performed necessary lab tests, maintained quality assurance, and fulfilled Indian Standards. IS 613- Copper Rods and electrical purposes bars :

• Products met the right purity and alloy standards.
• Products passed the tests for elongation, hardness, and tensile strength.
• The products’ conductivity and electrical resistivity were according to Indian standards.
• Products conform to the tolerances and specified size.
• Products showed no cracks, no foreign matter, and no defects. 

IS 4171- Copper rods and general engineering purposes bars :

• Products met the right alloy composition.
• Products passed the tests for elongation and tensile strength.
• Products followed the defined limits. 
• Products’ surfaces met the required standards.

IS 12444- General engineering purposes bars and copper wire roads for electrical appliances :

• Quality assured copper with the least impurities.
• Products passed the tests for elongation and tensile strength.
• The resistivity and conductivity measurements were within acceptable limits. 
• Wire rods followed the required tolerances and diameters.
• The products’ surface showed no defects like oxidation and impurities.

Key factors for manufacturers in Malaysia: 

The process to obtain BIS certification for foreign manufacturers, including Malaysian manufacturers, needs to align with the Foreign Manufacturer Certification Scheme(FMCS) to export copper products in India.

Moreover, the Copper (Quality Control) Order, 2024, makes sure that copper products meet all required quality standards before being sold in India. This order is for global and domestic copper products, including those from Malaysia. BIS certification helps in establishing a successful business as the nation's regulatory infrastructure becomes consumer-centric. For Malaysian producers, adhering to Indian standards for copper products as per IS 613, IS 4171, and IS 12444 is important to access a quality-driven market.

Conclusion: 

BIS consultants like ERCS Private Limited can help with the Indian Standards regulations smoothly. BIS Consultants at ERCS have established proficiency in regulatory compliance and BIS FMCS certification for copper products as per IS 613, IS 4171, and IS 12444.
