ISI / BIS Certification for Tower Bolts- Non-ferrous metal

Tower bolts have distinct benefits than their ferrous counterparts since they are usually made of non-ferrous metals like brass or aluminum. Tower bolts made of these non-ferrous materials are resistant to rust and corrosion, which makes them perfect for usage in damp locations like bathrooms and seaside regions. They are frequently utilized in products like high-end furniture, cabinets, and architectural hardware where both design and function are important. Tower bolts are simple to install and manage because to the lightweight nature of non-ferrous metals, and they nonetheless offer dependable security and usability for a range of doors and access points. Non-ferrous metal tower bolts are a popular option for both functional and ornamental uses because to their resistance to corrosion and attractive appearance.

The Indian Standard IS 204 (Part 2):1992 lays forth specifications for non-ferrous metal tower bolts. The quality requirements for non-ferrous metal tower bolts are outlined in this standard. These standards serve as a guide for manufacturers to make sure their goods fulfill particular quality requirements. Adherence to these guidelines aids producers in creating tower bolts that are capable of withstanding the appropriate weight and operating circumstances without failing. Producers that follow these guidelines make sure their goods meet legal requirements, which lowers the possibility of legal problems and liabilities.

Note: To ensure compliance, manufacturers of tower bolts made of non-ferrous metal must get the necessary ISI Mark Certification.

These crucial hardware components must adhere to strict quality and safety requirements in order for their endurance and dependability in a variety of applications to be guaranteed. This is where ISI certification comes into play. It means that these bolts have passed stringent testing and meet certain requirements established by the BIS. using this certification, the tower bolts' durability and resistance to corrosion are ensured, since they are made using the proper non-ferrous materials and production techniques.

About ISI / BIS Certification

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.
