BIS Certification for
Aluminum Alloy Welded Tubes for Irrigation Purposes IS 7092 Part 1
Introduction to Indian Standard IS 7092 Part 1 covers Aluminium Alloy Welded Tubes for Irrigation Purposes. This standard specifies the manufacturing, chemical and physical requirements and testing of aluminium alloy Welded Tubes for Irrigation Purposes.
The tubes shall be manufactured from raw material strips/sheets conforming to the aluminium alloys 31000, 31500, 40800, 51300, 52000, 53000 and 55000 as per IS 737.
What Are Aluminium Alloy Welded Tubes for Irrigation Purposes?
If you manufacture or import Aluminium Alloy Welded Tubes for Irrigation Purposes in India, obtaining BIS certification under IS 7092 Part 1 is a legal requirement not an option. The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) mandates the ISI Mark on these products under the Quality Control Order issued by the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade. Unlike extruded tubes, welded aluminium irrigation tubes are manufactured from raw material strips and sheets conforming to aluminium alloys 31000, 31500, 40800, 51300, 52000, 53000, and 55000 as specified under IS 737.
The seam-welded construction makes these tubes lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and cost-effective for large-scale irrigation infrastructure across India. Non-compliance with the ISI Mark requirement can result in product seizure, significant financial penalties, and loss of market access.
