Elastomers are essentially synthetic polymers that have elastic properties. These cables are best known for their unparalleled durability, flexibility, and ability to withstand chemicals, heat, and abrasion. Elastomer-insulated cables are widely used in an assortment of applications, including control systems, power transmissions, automation, and robotics. They easily cope with challenging environments and thus adhere to extended service life. That is the reason why they are also being used in sectors like aerospace, oil, and marine. Their production, testing, and quality are subjected to certain requirements cited in the IS 9968 (PART 1): 1988, which is an Indian Standard. The Bureau of Indian Standards refers to these guidelines for the grant of BIS certification. Let\u2019s explore how to secure BIS certification for elastomer insulated cables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_82_2 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title ez-toc-toggle\" style=\"cursor:pointer\">Page Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 eztoc-toggle-hide-by-default' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/corpbiz.io\/learning\/bis-certification-for-elastomer-insulated-cables\/#Role_of_IS_9968_PART_1_1988_in_BIS_certification_for_elastomer_insulated_cables\" >Role of IS 9968 (PART 1):1988 in BIS certification for elastomer\ninsulated cables<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/corpbiz.io\/learning\/bis-certification-for-elastomer-insulated-cables\/#Tests_to_qualify_for_BIS_certification_for_elastomer_insulated_cables\" >Tests to qualify for BIS certification for elastomer insulated\ncables<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/corpbiz.io\/learning\/bis-certification-for-elastomer-insulated-cables\/#What_Marking_Norms_Do_Manufacturers_Need_To_Follow\" >What Marking Norms Do Manufacturers Need To Follow?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/corpbiz.io\/learning\/bis-certification-for-elastomer-insulated-cables\/#Documents_Concerning_BIS_Certification_for_Elastomer_Insulated_Cables\" >Documents Concerning BIS Certification for Elastomer Insulated\nCables<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/corpbiz.io\/learning\/bis-certification-for-elastomer-insulated-cables\/#How_To_Secure_BIS_Certification_For_Elastomer_Insulated_Cables\" >How To Secure BIS Certification For Elastomer Insulated Cables?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/corpbiz.io\/learning\/bis-certification-for-elastomer-insulated-cables\/#Conclusion\" >Conclusion<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Role_of_IS_9968_PART_1_1988_in_BIS_certification_for_elastomer_insulated_cables\"><\/span>Role of IS 9968 (PART 1):1988 in BIS certification for elastomer\ninsulated cables<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>IS9968 (PART 1):1988 is\napplicable to Elastomer insulated cables that fit the working voltage up to\n1100V.
