BIS CERTIFICATION FOR FLUX-CORED TUBULAR ELECTRODES IS 15769:2008

In today's competitive landscape, maintaining market presence without a certified, high-quality product can be challenging. Obtaining a BIS license may also be essential for selling products in the Indian market. To achieve BIS certification and ensure product quality, manufacturers must adhere to the specified Indian standards.

Lets delve deeper into IS 15769:2008 for flux cored electrodes.

All electrodes must be labeled with the brand name and classification. Each bundle or carton of electrodes should be marked according to the specified standard, and the material may also bear the standard mark (ISI Mark). Manufacturers are required to obtain a BIS license from the Bureau of Indian Standards to use the standard mark (ISI Mark). This license is granted following an evaluation of manufacturing infrastructure, production processes, and quality control and testing capabilities during an inspection of the manufacturing premises.

This standard outlines the specifications for continuous flux-cored electrodes used in metal arc welding, both with and without shielding gas. These electrodes are designed to deposit weld metal primarily composed of carbon or carbon-manganese steel with a tensile strength not exceeding 610 MPa. It's important to note that this standard does not cover products used in submerged arc welding, electrogas arc welding, or electroslag welding processes.

Flux-cored (tubular) electrodes can be manufactured through any method that ensures compliance with this standard's requirements. These electrodes must possess a smooth finish and must be devoid of surface imperfections, corrosion products, grease, or any other foreign matter that might compromise weld quality or the operation of welding equipment. Additionally, the external diameter of a flux-cored electrode must align with the specified diameter.

The flux-cored (tubular) electrode designated for metal arc welding of carbon-manganese steels is ETXXXXXXHX.

ET - Indicates Flux-cored (tubular) electrode for metal arc welding
X - Indicates Ultimate tensile strength of weld metal deposit
X- Indicates Impact value of weld metal deposit
X- Indicates Welding position
X- Indicates Type of core ingredients
X- Indicates Type of shielded gas
X- Indicates Electrode use for single pass or multi-pass
HX- Indicates Maximum diffusible hydrogen content in the weld metal

TESTS

The following tests are necessary for flux-cored (Tubular) electrodes.

Chemical analysis
Radiographic soundness test
All weld metal tensile test
Charpy V-Notch Impact Test
Fillet weld notch test
Transverse tensile test
Longitudinal bend test
Diffusible hydrogen test

PROCESS FOR BIS ISI MARK CERTIFICATION

BIS CERTIFICATION PROCESS

Acquiring a BIS license requires a comprehensive review of manufacturing infrastructure, quality control abilities, testing resources, and production procedures. This thorough assessment guarantees that products not only adhere to regulations but also prioritize consumer safety and reliability.
