ISI Mark for Welding Rods and Electrodes

Manufacturing or importing welding rods and electrodes in India must be certified by BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards), therefore guaranteeing quality and safety compliance.  IS 814:04, the pertinent Indian Standard, lays out the specifications for covered electrodes used in hand metal arc welding.  Manufacturers who want BIS certification have to apply via the BIS portal, send required paperwork, have a factory inspection, and pass product testing in BIS-approved labs.  Products certified can bear the ISI mark, therefore guaranteeing conformance to Indian standards.  Regular audits guarantees ongoing conformity; non-compliance could lead to certification cancellation.
