BIS Certification for Cast Iron Detachable Joints IS 8794

BIS Certification for Cast Iron Detachable Joints as per IS 8794 assures that the products are in compliance with the Indian Standards on material quality, mechanical strength, dimensional accuracy, and performance. The BIS License will ensure that the detachable joints are safe, durable and can be used in the public utility and industrial pipeline networks. 

Understanding ISI Mark Certification 

Conformity to the relevant Indian Standards is indicated by the ISI Mark Certification by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). In the case of Cast Iron Detachable Joints, the ISI certification guarantees that the products are in line with the IS 8794 by testing the products, inspection in the factory and constant surveillance.

BIS performs periodic audits of certified manufacturing units in order to ensure consistency in raw materials, casting operations and quality assurance. In India, ISI-marked detachable joints enjoy a broad acceptance in the municipal authorities, infrastructure developers and water supply departments. 

Why manufacturers need ISI Mark Certification

Below are the key reasons mentioned why manufacturers need ISI Mark Certification for Cast Iron Detachable Joints: 

1. Regulatory Compliance : Ensures lawful manufacturing, sale, and supply by meeting all applicable BIS Quality Control Orders.
2. Market Acceptance :  Rises in favor of the municipal authorities, infrastructure developers, and government agencies.
3. Leak-Proof Performance : Ensures safe and robust joints that are non-leaky and that the pipes stand.
4. Tender Eligibility : Ensures safe and robust joints that are non-leaky and that the pipes stand..

IS 8794 technical parameter requirements

IS 8794 is important because it ensures that cast iron detachable joints installed in the water supply and pipeline systems must be safe, reliable and able to withstand the service conditions without collapsing. The standard is a material provided on grade of cast iron, mechanical strength, and soundness to maintain structural integrity.

It determines dimensional tolerance, bolt hole accuracy and joint fitment and easy installation. The IS 8794 also recommends hydrostatic pressure, leakage resistance tests to check their performance under working conditions. Surface finish, protective coating, corrosion resistance, marking, packing, and ISI labeling requirements are provided to increase durability, traceability, and service life.
