•  21 Sep, 2023
•  ISI Certification (BIS)

This standard specifies the requirements and test methods for Cast aluminium and aluminium alloys for manufacture of utensils.  This standard contains clauses 6.1.2, 6.2, 7.2.1, 7.2.2, 8.1, 8.2, 10.1.1, 11, and 13.2 which provide discretion to purchaser or call for agreement between the supplier and the purchaser.

While revising this standard assistance has been drawn from BS 1490 : 1988 ‘Aluminium and aluminium alloy ingots and castings for general engineering purposes’.

For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with, the final value, observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test or analysis, .be rounded off in accordance with IS 2 : 1960 ‘Rules for rounding off numerical values ( revised )‘. The number of significant places retained in the rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard.

Aluminium and aluminium alloy ingots and castings are coded as per IS 5052 on the basis of designations -    

1900, 1950, 2280, 2285, 2550, 4223, 4223A, 4225, 4300, 4323, 4420, 4423, 4450, 4520, 4525, 4528, 4600, 4600A, 4628, 4635, 4682, 5230 and 5500.

Scope

This standard covers the requirements of cast aluminium and its alloys in the form of ingots and castings for general engineering purposes.

Test

There are some following mandatory tests which confirms the BIS quality and performance –

Ø  Chemical Properties

§  Chemical Composition Test

Ø  Mechanical Properties

§  Tensile Properties

§  Hardness

§  Pressure Test

Recently Ministry of Mines has published the Quality Control Order on 31st August, 2023 (QCO) according which Aluminium and aluminium alloy ingots and castings as per IS 617 will be mandatory after 3 month of publication date of QCO.

Once it becomes Mandatory for BIS License, Manufacturer can‘t produce material without having ISI Marks.
