Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) is a versatile thermoplastic polymer, commonly used in industries such as automotive, electronics, and consumer goods. In the automotive industry, ABS is prized for its strength, durability, and impact resistance, making it ideal for both interior and exterior car parts. In electronics, ABS is used to manufacture components like computer housings and television sets due to its excellent moldability and robustness.
Additionally, ABS is found in a wide range of consumer goods, including toys, luggage, and household items, thanks to its flexibility and ease of processing. BIS certification under IS 17077:2019/ISO 19062-1:2015 ensures that ABS products comply with the necessary quality, mechanical, and safety standards, guaranteeing their suitability for these diverse applications.
As per the Quality
Control Order 2023, the DPIIT has made BIS certification mandatory for
Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) under IS 17077:2019/ISO 19062-1:2015,
effective from January 1, 2024. This regulation ensures that only high-quality,
certified ABS products are manufactured and marketed in India, supporting
industries that rely on durable plastics for various applications.
Why BIS
Certification is Necessary for Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS)
BIS certification for Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) is crucial for several reasons. It guarantees that ABS meets the required physical and mechanical properties, ensuring its suitability for critical industrial applications, particularly in sectors like automotive, electronics, and consumer goods. The certification also ensures regulatory compliance with the Bureau of Indian Standards Act, 2016, helping manufacturers avoid penalties for non-compliance. Additionally, the ISI mark on certified ABS products instills consumer confidence by assuring industries of the material's quality and reliability for manufacturing essential components, thus supporting safe and efficient production
Overview of Indian Standard IS 17077:2019/ISO 19062-1:2015
S 17077:2019/ISO
19062-1:2015 outlines the key quality and performance requirements for
Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS), ensuring its suitability for industrial
applications. The standard specifies the acceptable chemical composition of
acrylonitrile, butadiene, and styrene components, guaranteeing the right
balance for optimal performance. It also defines the physical properties, such
as tensile strength, impact resistance, and thermal stability, which are
critical for ensuring durability and reliability in various applications.
Additionally, the mechanical properties, including elasticity, stress
resistance, and elongation at break, are carefully defined to meet industry
requirements. Packaging and labeling guidelines are also set to ensure safe
handling, storage, and transport of ABS products. BIS certification enforces these
standards, ensuring that only high-quality, safe ABS materials are available
for use in industries like automotive, electronics, and consumer goods.
