As per IS 15769:2008, the BIS Certification License for Flux-Cored (Tubular) Electrodes is obligatory, therefore guaranteeing product quality and safety. Under the Flux Cored (Tubular) Electrodes (Quality Control) Order, 2021 this certification—issued by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS)—is required. It relates to electrodes used in self-shielded and gas-shielded welding of either carbon or carbon-manganese steel.
Manufacturers who want BIS certification have to apply, have their products tested in BIS-approved labs for mechanical qualities, chemical composition, and welding performance, then go through a factory inspection. Following these criteria guarantees dependability and strengthens market reputation.
The certification process entails strict quality inspections; non-compliance could lead to BIS Act, 2016 fines. Manufacturers certified can use the ISI Mark, which denotes conformity to national standards. Applications can get direction on the BIS website or from approved certification advisors.
