Round or cylindrical steel bars, usually composed of low-carbon steel, are known as mild steel rivet bars. They are employed in the production of rivets, which are cylindrical, short metal pins used in the riveting process to connect or fix metal components.
In shipbuilding, mild steel rivet bars are frequently utilized to create riveted connections. They play a critical role in the construction of ship structures, especially in the case of older shipbuilding methods that frequently used riveted connections.
Under IS standard IS 3298: 1981, all varieties of mild steel rivet bars for shipbuilding are covered by the required ISI Certification Scheme.
This standard describes the requirements for mild steel rivet bars that are intended for use in shipbuilding and have a diameter of 16 mm or more.
The steel used to make rivet bars must be manufactured using open hearth, electric, duplex, basic oxygen, or a combination of these methods. The steel needs to be classified as either killed or semi-killed. The given standard should be followed in the chemical analysis. There shouldn't be any harmful buildup of non-metallic materials or sulfur segregates within the rivet bars' interior composition.
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.

There are two approaches for Indian manufacturers to become certified with the ISI Mark:
Regular Procedure
With the possible exception of cases deemed "All India first," which might take up to 180 days, the licensing procedure is expected to be finished in 120 days. This timeline starts on the day the application is received, assuming that at different points in time the documentation, unit assessment, and product conformance are all deemed acceptable.
Step 1: Manufacturing Unit Customization in Compliance with Applicable Indian Standards
Step 2: Submission of the Application Form

Simplified Procedure
This is a much faster process than the standard procedure. After a factory inspection is deemed satisfactory and the initial evaluation establishes that the sample complies with the applicable Indian Standard(s), the license application process is expected to be finished in 30 days.
Step 1: Adapting the Manufacturing Unit to Comply with the Relevant Indian Standard
Step 2: Sample Testing
