Ethylene Dichloride (EDC) is a versatile chemical primarily used as an intermediate in the production of vinyl chloride monomer (VCM), which is essential for manufacturing polyvinyl chloride (PVC). It also serves as a solvent and is involved in the synthesis of other chemicals like trichloroethane. Additionally, EDC is used in the production of agricultural chemicals such as pesticides and fungicides.
The BIS certification under IS 869:2020 ensures that Ethylene Dichloride meets the stringent safety, purity, and quality standards, making it reliable and safe for use across industries such as chemical manufacturing, PVC production, and agriculture
Introduction
As part of the Quality Control Order 2023, the DPIIT has made BIS certification mandatory for Ethylene Dichloride under IS 869:2020, effective from January 1, 2024. This regulatory mandate ensures that only high-quality Ethylene Dichloride is used in manufacturing and industrial processes across India.
Why BIS Certification is Necessary for Ethylene Dichloride
BIS certification for Ethylene Dichloride is essential for
ensuring that the product meets the required chemical and physical properties
for industrial use. It guarantees regulatory compliance with the Bureau of
Indian Standards Act, 2016, helping manufacturers avoid legal penalties. The
ISI mark on certified Ethylene Dichloride also boosts consumer confidence,
assuring industries that the product is safe, reliable, and effective for
critical applications in chemical manufacturing, PVC production, and
agricultural chemicals.
