BIS Certification for
EC Grade Aluminium Rod Produced by Continuous

Key Benefits of ISI Mark Certification for EC Grade Aluminium Rod Produced by Continuous Casting and Rolling in India

A Quality Control Order was issued by the Ministry of Commerce & Industry in 2023, requiring these rods to comply with the Indian Standard and carry ISI Marking under the BIS license, as per Scheme-I of Schedule II of the BIS Conformity Assessment Regulations. The following are the advantages of certification:

• Market access through legal channels: The ISI stamp is compulsory under the QCO, meaning that an ISI-unmarked rod is not legal to sell, import, or export in India.
• Penalty avoidance and product seizure: Violations may result in a fine of ₹5 lakhs, imprisonment for up to 1 year, or up to 5 times the annual turnover, and seizure of the product.
• Conductivity and mechanical properties are guaranteed: The standard IS 5484:2023 specifies requirements for conductivity, tensile strength, and dimensional tolerances to ensure the rod will function properly when made into wire.
• Buyer and OEM credibility: It is common for the cable, wire-drawing, and winding industries to require ISI certification.
• Buyer and industry confidence: Buyers know that the ISI mark indicates that the products are safe and meet quality standards.
• Manufacturing processes: ISI certification requires a company to evaluate and audit its manufacturing processes.

Applicable Test Parameters for EC Grade Aluminium Rod produced by Continuous Casting and Rolling IS 5484

The important test criteria which apply to EC Grade Aluminium Rods, Continuous Casting and Rolling as per IS 5484:

• Electrical Resistivity/Conductivity: Tests the maximum electrical resistivity of the material in order to ensure that power transmission is maximised.
• Tensile Strength: Tests the pulling strength of the rod material to its maximum extent without failing or breaking.
• Elongation Percentage: Tests the ductility and flexibility of the material in order to confirm that the material does not break when it is stretched to form thinner rods.
• Composition and Purity: Tests whether the primary ingot of the base aluminium material conforms to the standard grades as per IS 4026 in order to reduce the level of impurities in the material.
• Dimensions and Tolerances: Tests whether the diameter and shape of the cross-section are as per specifications.
• Joints Check: Ensures that the continuous rod material is entirely continuous and that there are no joints or welds in the rod.

Step-by-Step BIS Certification Process for EC Grade Aluminium Rod Produced by Continuous Casting and Rolling in India

The process of obtaining BIS Certification IS 5484 under Scheme-1 has 6 main stages:

1. Application submission: The manufacturer should submit his application via the BIS Online Portal. A signed copy of the application should also be submitted.
2. Preparation of Documents: The required documents should be prepared according to IS 5484.
3. Inspection: BIS will conduct an inspection at the manufacturer's facility to determine the acceptability of the production, and a BIS officer will seal the product sample.
4. Product Testing: The sealed samples of the product should be sent for testing to BIS laboratories.
5. Appointment of AIR: If the manufacturer is a foreign company, then it should appoint a representative locally.
6. Granting of ISI mark: After completion of both testing and inspection procedures, the manufacturer will obtain his certificate and copy of the ISI mark from BIS.

Indian and foreign manufacturers need to complete the following steps to receive their BIS certification: 

• BIS Certification Process - Indian Manufacturer 
• BIS FMCS Certification Process - Foreign Manufacturer
