ENSURING QUALITY: COMPREHENSIVE OMEGA’S GUIDE FOR BIS CERTIFICATION OF CROSS RECESSED COUNTERSUNK HEAD WOOD SCREWS

INTRODUCTION

In the realm of woodworking, the integrity and durability of connections between wooden pieces are paramount. Achieving this relies heavily on the quality of fasteners employed, particularly screws. To address this need, the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) has introduced IS 18509:2024, a standard specifying the characteristics of cross recessed countersunk head wood screws. This standard not only ensures uniformity but also guarantees the reliability and strength of connections in various woodworking projects. Omega QMS Pvt. Ltd., a renowned quality management solutions provider, plays a pivotal role in assisting manufacturers to meet these stringent standards.

UNDERSTANDING INDIAN STANDARD 18509:2024

IS 18509:2024 delineates the parameters for cross recessed countersunk head wood screws, covering thread diameters ranging from 2mm to 8mm. It outlines dimensions, requirements, torque testing, and hardness specifications crucial for ensuring the screws’ performance and longevity. The standard serves as a benchmark for manufacturers, guiding them in producing screws that meet internationally accepted norms.

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

The DPIIT, Ministry of Commerce & Industry, Govt. of India, has issued a draft Quality Control Order proposing to making it mandatory for all cross recessed screws as mentioned above 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.

BIS CERTIFICATION OF SCREWS AS PER IS 18509

BIS certification is a testament to the adherence of manufacturers to the specifications outlined in IS 18509:2024. It signifies that the screws have undergone rigorous testing and comply with the quality standards mandated by BIS. Certification instills confidence among consumers, indicating that the screws meet the necessary criteria for strength, reliability, and performance.
