The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) is responsible for devising and enforcing standards across different industries vertical in India. Following are the steps you need to follow to secure BIS Certification for flux-cored tubular electrodes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>Step 1: Identity Which Indian Standard Code Covers Your Product<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The first step is to\ndetermine which IS code applies to the product in question. The <strong>BIS portal<\/strong><sup><a class=\"text-primary\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bis.gov.in\/\"><strong>[1]<\/strong><\/a><\/sup>\ndemonstrates a list of IS codes that encompasses different products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>Step 2: Pass the Mandatory Product Tests<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The second step involves\nthe testing of the product at the certified lab. The lab will check whether or\nnot your product meets the underlying quality norms for ISI marking. If any\nnon-conformity appears during the test, the lab will inform you about the same\nso that you can fix the issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>Step 3: File an Online Application<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The step involves the\nfiling of an online application on the BIS portal. During filing, the portal\nshall prompt you to render information about the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong><em>Testing capabilities <\/em><\/strong><\/li><li><strong><em>Plant address<\/em><\/strong><\/li><li><strong><em>Available certificates and\ngovernment clearance <\/em><\/strong><\/li><li><strong><em>Product detail and\nproduction process<\/em><\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Post rendering the\nrequired details the portal will direct you to upload the document and submit\nthe fee. The application fee will also include the charges for on-site\ninspection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>Step 4: Document checking and on-site inspection<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In this step, document\nchecking and on-site vetting will take place and it will be performed by the\nBIS officials. This process may last for 15 or more days to complete based on\nthe complexity of the product and the paperwork.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>Step 5: Grant of certification<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>After getting assured of\nthe documents\u2019 authenticity and reviewing the lab report, the authority will\ndecide whether or not to grant the BIS certification for flux-cored tubular\nelectrodes. The certificate shall be awarded if the outcome of the authority\u2019s\nassessment comes out positive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Securing BIS certification for flux-cored tubular electrodes will ease the legalities of using the mandatory ISI marking.
