Copper tubes are metal tubes that are cylindrical in shape and composed of copper, a material that is widely used and adaptable due to its superior electrical and thermal conductivity, durability, and resistance to corrosion. It is incredibly durable and produces a biostatic environment that prevents germs from growing in it.
Copper tubes are available in a variety of diameters, forms, and shapes to meet the needs of a broad range of industries. For a variety of plumbing applications in residential, commercial, and industrial settings, their preferred option is their ability to preserve water quality, resist corrosion, and adapt to different system needs.
All copper tubes that meet plumbing criteria are now covered by IS 14810: 2000, the required ISI Certification Scheme.
This standard covers phosphorized (DHP) copper tubes, which are frequently used with solder, flared, or compression type fittings and are appropriate for ordinary plumbing and related applications for the conveyance of fluids, including water. It contributes to the preservation of copper tubes' performance, safety, and quality throughout a range of plumbing uses.
Without the ISI Mark, this product cannot be marketed, imported, or exported into the Indian consumer market.
Indian Standards Institute, or ISI was renamed the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) in 1987. The official mark that the Bureau of Indian Standards provides for manufacturers of various goods is the ISI Mark. It is used to indicate compliance with Indian standards (IS) set by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) and has been used as a conformity marking for industrial products. Manufacturers received permission from BIS to use the ISI Mark on items that comply with relevant Indian requirements through the product certification program.
Only manufacturers (domestic or foreign) who produce the finished product will be awarded ISI Certification. This will not be given to any product importers, traders, dealers, or distributors.
