Instacertify recently executed a rigorous, compliance-driven BIS audit for Air Filters for General Ventilation under IS 17570 (Part 1): 2021 at a premier manufacturing facility in Faridabad, India. Guided by the extensive regulatory expertise of our lead compliance specialist, Alim Shabbirkhan Mokashi, the assessment systematically evaluated the facility's quality control systems, modern manufacturing processes, and strict adherence to Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) requirements.
The audit involved a deep-dive assessment of the client’s manufacturing infrastructure to ensure full compliance with the latest Indian regulatory standards. The outcome confirmed that the Faridabad unit maintains a highly structured and process-driven approach toward product quality, indoor air safety, and mandatory regulatory compliance.
Product Scope and Applicable Standards
The scope of this comprehensive BIS audit covered the manufacturing, testing, and quality assurance mechanisms for general ventilation air filters produced at the Faridabad facility. These filters play a critical role in commercial HVAC systems, central air conditioning units, and industrial ventilation, heavily impacting indoor air quality (IAQ) by capturing specific particulate matter.
The assessment was conducted strictly in accordance with the requirements of:
- IS 17570 (Part 1): 2021 – The official Indian Standard for Air Filters for General Ventilation (aligning with ISO 16890 classifications like ePM1, ePM2.5, and ePM10).
- Certification requirements under the latest applicable BIS guidelines.
- Crucial provisions related to fractional efficiency, airflow resistance (pressure drop), and overall dust-holding capacity testing.
Importance of BIS Audit for Air Filter Manufacturers in India
With the recent implementation of the Air Cooler and Air Filters (Quality Control) Order by the DPIIT, mandatory BIS certification has become essential for this sector. A thorough BIS audit is critical for manufacturers in industrial hubs like Faridabad, as it verifies that they are not only delivering safe, high-performance HVAC products to the market but are also strictly abiding by the mandatory national legal frameworks.
