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.

Introduction

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.
