Introduction

The Quality Control Order 2023, introduced by DPIIT, mandates BIS certification for Ethylene Glycol under IS 5295:1985. Effective from January 1, 2024, this regulation ensures that only high-quality, certified Ethylene Glycol is manufactured, marketed, or imported into India, supporting the standardization of chemical production.

Why BIS Certification is Necessary for Ethylene Glycol

BIS certification guarantees that Ethylene Glycol meets stringent standards for purity, ensuring its efficacy in critical applications such as antifreeze, polyester production, and industrial processes. The certification also emphasizes safety, minimizing risks associated with handling and use. Moreover, it ensures compliance with government regulations, helping manufacturers avoid penalties under the Bureau of Indian Standards Act, 2016, and maintain market credibility.

Overview of Indian Standard IS 5295:1985

IS 5295:1985 outlines the essential requirements for Ethylene Glycol, including purity standards that specify minimum glycol content and limits on contaminants like aldehydes and water. The standard also defines physical properties such as appearance, density, and boiling point, as well as chemical properties, including acidic or basic content and resistance to degradation. Additionally, packaging and labeling guidelines ensure safe storage, handling, and transportation. BIS certification enforces these requirements, ensuring consistent product performance and reliability across various industrial applications.
