- BIS certification according to IS 7904:2017 is required for manufacturers of high carbon steel wire rods in India.
- The standard guarantees that the product is under very strict control in terms of the chemical composition, mechanical properties, and size.
- Samples have to be tested in labs certified by BIS and the testing has to be verified with local inspections.
- Certified producers become more trusted, easier to enter the market, and are free from the risk of being punished by the law.
- The professional support of Diligence Certifications will definitely make the BIS approval process more comfortable and time-efficient.
Introduction
The situation that comes to my mind first when I think of the significance of BIS certification is that a wire manufacturer in Raipur lost a major account due to their wire rods not being certified. Their spring producer client chose another supplier because the high carbon steel wire rods of the Raipur manufacturer did not have BIS certification under IS 7904:2017. Practically, certified material is becoming a non-negotiable in the Indian steel market especially for large buyers. BIS certification is a guarantee that wire rods comply with the set chemical, mechanical, and dimensional standards. In a way, it is a token of quality, trustworthiness, and observance of government regulations. Bureau of indian Standards
What is IS 7904:2017?
IS 7904:2017 is an Indian Standard that specifies the quality and performance requirements of high carbon steel wire rods to be used for springs, fasteners, and engineering wire applications. By specifying the various parameters in detail, the standard helps keep the material strong, durable, and even.
Key Points:
- First of all, the standard lays down the chemical composition of different grades of high carbon steel.
- It also defines the mechanical characteristics of the material such as tensile strength, yield strength, and elongation.
- The standard also defines the limits of dimensional tolerances and surface finish.
- Furthermore, it specifies the sampling, testing, and inspection methods. ISI MARK
- Finally, it sets out the product labeling and traceability requirements for the awarded products.
Why is BIS Certification Mandatory
It is required that a BIS certification be obtained for high carbon steel wire rods as per IS 7904:2017 so as to guarantee that the products that are sold or made in India are in conformity with the national quality and safety standards. The certification serves as an instrument to lower the control of substandard materials that may undermine the performance and safety of the product application areas such as springs or fasteners. Likewise, it assures standardization of production as well as the traceability of the materials.
Key Points:
- It is used as a tool for ensuring that the Ministry of Steel’s Quality Control Orders are adhered to.
- Assures product quality and safety are maintained at the same level across all manufacturers.
- It is instrumental in stopping the introduction in the market of steel products that are of low quality or unsafe.
- Gives legal authorization for the products to be sold in the Indian market.
- Creates a feeling of trust in customers and enhances the image of the brand.

Step-by-Step Process of BIS Certification
Step1:Documentation
- Gather company registration, factory license, and GST certificate.
- Write product specifications, grades details, and manufacturing process flow charts.
- Maintain quality control records and equipment calibration certificates.
- Ensure all documents are in BIS-specified format before submission.
Step2:Product Testing
- Provide material samples to a laboratory recognized by BIS for testing.
- The tests should prove that the products meet the standards of the specified Indian Standard.
- Get complete test reports showing chemical, mechanical, and dimensional results.
- Only a laboratory that has been approved by BIS is allowed to issue reports that can be used for certification.
Step3:Application Submission
- Using the BIS certification portal, submit the application online.
- All the necessary documents and test reports should be properly formatted and attached.
- Make the payment of the government and marking fees that are prescribed.
- Keep a record of the application status and always be ready to reply to BIS if they need information.
Step4:Scrutiny and Inspection
- Officials from BIS check the papers and test results that were sent in.
- It is done to see if the production and testing systems are as stated in the documents.
- Inspectors assess equipment calibration, sampling methods, and quality checks.
- Any non-conformity must be corrected before final approval.
Step5:Grant of License
- Upon satisfactory evaluation, BIS awards the ISI mark license to the manufacturer.
- The manufacturer is assigned a unique CM/L (Certification Mark License) number by BIS.
- The ISI mark is relocated on the products approved by the manufacturer.
- Regular surveillance and renewal make sure that the license holder complies with the BIS norms.
Documents Required for BIS Certification
| Category | Documents Required |
| Company Details | Company registration, factory license, GST certificate, address proof |
| Authorized Signatory | ID proof, authorization letter from management |
| Product Details | Product specification, grade, and manufacturing process flow |
| Quality Control | List of testing equipment, calibration certificates, internal test reports |
| Testing Compliance | BIS-recognized laboratory test report as per relevant IS standard |
Timelines, Costs, Validity & Renewal
- Timelines:BIS certification is a pretty typical thirty to forty-five-day endeavor. It depends on how quickly the documents and inspections are ready.
- Costs: The costs include the application, testing, and marking fees. The fees may vary depending on the product type and grade range.
- Validity:The permit is valid for two years from the issuing date.
- Renewal: It is necessary to renew the license every two years along with the updated test reports and payment of the required fees.
