ISI / BIS Certification for Wrought Aluminium Utensils

Worldwide, wrought aluminum cookware is a preferred option for cooking and serving in kitchens due to its exceptional heat conductivity, lightweight nature, and longevity. The material used to make these utensils is wrought aluminum, which is strong and resistant to corrosion but yet pliable and simple to form. The exceptional heat conductivity of wrought aluminum cookware, which enables uniform and effective cooking, is one of its main benefits. Aluminum prevents hot spots and ensures that food cooks evenly since it warms up rapidly and distributes heat evenly throughout the cooking surface. Because of this feature, aluminum cookware may be used for a variety of culinary techniques, such as frying, sautéing, boiling, and simmering.

Aluminum utensils are lightweight, which makes them comfortable to hold and move around the kitchen. The technical specifications for wrought aluminum household utensils are outlined in IS 1660:2009. For a few frequently used goods, this standard outlines generic specifications and material quality criteria, including thickness standards:

• Wrought aluminum utensils
• Thick bottom utensils
• Compartmental trays
• Lunch boxes

Aluminum utensils that are made in accordance with IS 1660:2009 are guaranteed to meet strict quality and safety requirements. Compliance ensures that utensils are made to endure normal household usage, fend against rust, and hold up over time. It assists producers in fulfilling these legal obligations, guaranteeing the safety of their goods when used in conjunction with food.

To ensure that wrought aluminum utensils meet the strict safety guidelines and technical requirements established by the Bureau of Indian Standards, this certification is a need. Customers are reassured that the utensils they use on a daily basis are of the best caliber and meet strict safety standards, guaranteeing that food made with these utensils stays clean and safe.

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.
