- Mandatory Compliance It is mandatory to obtain BIS certification for the manufacture and market of silicomanganese as IS 1470 in India.
- Standard Specification:IS:1470 defines the chemical composition in respect of manganese, silicon, carbon, phosphorus, and sulfur.
- Use in Applications: The dominant use in applications for silicomanganese alloy is in the steel industry, where it acts as a deoxidizer & alloying agent.
- The testing of the product in the BIS accredited laboratories is compulsory in order to check the chemical composition and quality parameters of the product.
- ISI Mark Permission The permission to mark with the ISI mark is granted to manufacturers that are authorized by the BIS. This enables manufacturers to make their commodities authentic and of quality since they will be bearing the ISI mark
Introduction
BIS Certification for Silicomanganese under IS 1470 ensures that silicomanganese used in steel manufacturing meets prescribed Indian quality standards. Bureau of Indian Standards(BIS), the national body responsible for standardization, testing, and certification in India. This certification regulates chemical composition, purity, and consistency of silicomanganese, helping maintain uniform steel quality and ensuring regulatory compliance, safety, and acceptance in domestic and international markets.
What is IS 1470?
IS 1470 This Indian Standard specifies the quality requirement of silicomanganese used in the steel industry. This standard ensures that the silicomanganese has controlled composition and quality, as well as ensures the functionality of silicomanganese as a deoxidizer as well as an alloying agent in the steel industry.
Key Points:
- Product scope: The product scope would include silicomanganese used in the making of steel and alloy steel as an additive.
- Chemical Composition: It defines the limits of manganese, silicon, carbon, phosphorus, and sulphur composition
- Quality Assurance: This ensures uniformity, purity, and reliability of the silicomanganese being delivered to the steel plants. This department
- Testing Requirements:It involves analysis in order to verify conformance with the standard.
- Regulatory Importance: Conformity to IS 1470 guarantees that the product receives BIS certification, and therefore, is allowed to use the ISI mark for market access in India.
