ENSURING EXCELLENCE: BIS CERTIFICATION FOR HOT DIP GALVANIZED STAY STRANDS WITH OMEGA QMS PVT. LTD.

INTRODUCTION

In the competitive world of manufacturing, quality assurance is crucial for maintaining trust and safety. The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) plays a significant role in ensuring product quality in India, particularly for critical components like hot dip galvanized stay strands. These strands are vital for various infrastructure projects, including telecommunication and power transmission. This blog explores the importance of BIS certification for these products, summarizes IS 2141 standards, explains the BIS certification scheme, and highlights how Omega QMS Pvt. Ltd. facilitates the certification process for manufacturers.

UNDERSTANDING INDIAN STANDARD IS 2141

IS 2141:2000 outlines the specifications for hot dip galvanized stay strands, which are essential components used in telegraph and telephone poles, transmission line poles, signal poles, and railway track signals. The standard covers various aspects such as material quality, tensile strength, construction, and testing methods to ensure the durability and reliability of the stay strands.

Key Points of IS 2141:

Material: Made from cold-drawn steel wire, which is galvanized to protect against corrosion. The steel used must have specific chemical properties to ensure high quality and performance.

Tensile Grades: The standard defines five different grades of stay strands based on tensile strength, ranging from 450 to 1770 N/mm². These grades ensure that the strands can withstand different levels of mechanical stress.

Construction: The stay strands can be constructed in various configurations (3, 4, 7, 19, 37 wires) to distribute load evenly and provide the necessary strength and flexibility.

Testing: Includes rigorous tests for ductility, tensile strength, and the quality of the galvanizing to ensure that the strands meet the required performance criteria.

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 21 NOVEMBER 2023 FOR MANDATORY BIS CERTIFICATION

The DPIIT, Ministry of Commerce & Industry, Govt. of India, has issued an order, making it mandatory for all galvanised stay strands  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 galvanised stay strands, whether in India or overseas, to immediately apply for BIS licence and obtain a valid BIS certification licence.

BIS CERTIFICATION SCHEME AS PER IS 2141

The BIS certification marking is a symbol of conformity with Indian standards and regulations. For galvanised stay strands falling under above mentioned Indian Standard, the BIS certification mark indicates that the product has undergone rigorous testing and evaluation processes to ensure compliance with specified parameters. This mark instils trust and confidence among consumers, indicating that the galvanised stay strands  meets the requisite quality standards and is suitable for its intended application. It also facilitates market access, both domestically and internationally, by signalling adherence to recognized standard.
