BIS Certification for Flux Cored Solder Wire as per IS 1921:2005

In the world of manufacturing and electronics, the importance of soldering cannot be overstated. It’s the invisible glue that holds our modern devices together, from circuit boards to electrical connections. Within the realm of soldering materials, flux cored solder wire plays a crucial role. However, ensuring the quality and safety of these solder wires is paramount to avoid potential hazards and product failures. This is where the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) certification, specifically IS 1921:2005, comes into play. In this article, we’ll delve into the significance of BIS certification for flux cored solder wire and how Omega QMS Pvt Ltd can assist you in obtaining it.

IS  1921:2005FLUX CORED SOLDER WIRE

IS 1921:2005 This standard covers requirements for rosin/no clean flux cored solder wire either activated or non-activated (non-corrosive) of circular cross-section having a single or multiple continuous core of flux. It covers various aspects of flux cored solder wire, including dimensions, chemical composition, flux content, and mechanical properties. These parameters are crucial to the performance and reliability of soldered connections in electronic and electrical applications. Compliance with this standard not only ensures the safety of end-users but also contributes to the overall reliability and longevity of electronic devices.

QUALITY CONTROL ORDER (TECHNICAL REGULATION) ISSUED BY THE DEPARTMENT FOR PROMOTION OF INDUSTRY AND INTERNAL TRADE, MINISTRY OF COMMERCE AND INDUSTRY, GOVT. OF INDIA ON 18 SEPTEMBER 2023 FOR MANDATORY BIS CERTIFICATION

The DPIIT, Ministry of Commerce & Industry, Govt. of India, has issued an order, making it mandatory for all soldering wire to be used in India, whether manufactured in India or imported from foreign countries, shall mandatorily carry the Standard Mark of the Bureau of Indian Standards under a valid BIS licence.  In short, it has become obligatory for all the manufacturers of soldering wire, whether in India or overseas, to immediately apply for BIS licence and obtain a valid BIS certification licence before that the last date of implementation of the order, i.e., 17 March 2024.

BIS CERTIFICATION SCHEME

The BIS Standards, IS 1921:2005, establishes a comprehensive framework encompassing various quality parameters that soldering wire must adhere to. The Bureau of Indian Standards Certification Scheme is a vital framework established by the Indian government to ensure the quality, safety, and reliability of products available in the market. This scheme aims to safeguard consumer interests by setting stringent benchmarks and guidelines that products must meet before they can be deemed compliant. BIS certification covers a wide range of industries and products, encompassing the entire gamut of industrial and manufacturing activity.  Various steps involved in the BIS Certification process are enumerated below:

• Standard Identification: Manufacturers identify the relevant BIS standard that applies to their chosen product category. These standards outline the specific quality, safety, and performance requirements that the product must meet.
• Application Submission: Manufacturers submit an application for BIS certification to the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS), providing details about the product, its specifications, and the desired certification mark.
• Factory Inspection: BIS conducts an inspection of the manufacturer’s production facility to assess the quality control processes, infrastructure, and adherence to relevant standards.
• Sample Testing: BIS collects samples of the product from the manufacturer for testing in authorized BIS laboratories or recognized testing centers. These tests evaluate various parameters specified by the BIS standard.
• Certification Decision: Based on the satisfactory test results and compliance with standards, BIS decides whether to grant certification to the product. If approved, the manufacturer is issued a BIS certification license.
• Regular Monitoring: BIS monitors the manufacturing process of certified products through periodic audits and market surveillance to ensure ongoing compliance with quality control processes and standards.
