Glass Beakers are
versatile and essential laboratory tools used for mixing, heating, and
measuring liquids. Made from high-quality, durable glass, these beakers are
designed to withstand high temperatures and resist chemical reactions, making
them suitable for a wide range of laboratory applications. Their clear,
graduated markings allow for easy measurement and accurate volume readings.
Available in various sizes, Glass Beakers are ideal for both routine tasks and
complex experiments, providing reliability and precision in every use. Their
wide mouth design facilitates easy pouring and cleaning, enhancing their practicality
in any scientific setting.
BIS Certification for Glass Beakers is a critical process that ensures these laboratory instruments meet the rigorous standards set by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). This certification process includes thorough testing and inspection to confirm that the beakers are made from high-quality, heat-resistant glass and that they adhere to specific dimensional and performance standards. The certification guarantees that the beakers can withstand various laboratory conditions, such as high temperatures and chemical exposure, without compromising their integrity or accuracy. Obtaining BIS Certification not only assures quality and reliability but also provides confidence to users about the safety and performance of the beakers in critical laboratory applications.
Why is BIS Certification Necessary for Glass Beakers?
BIS Certification is essential for Glass Beakers to ensure they meet established quality and safety standards. According to regulatory requirements, including the Laboratory Glassware (Quality Control) Order, 2023, issued by the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, all glass beakers must be certified and bear the ISI mark. This certification confirms that the beakers have passed rigorous testing for material quality, dimensional accuracy, and performance under various conditions. Without BIS Certification, manufacturers risk legal consequences such as fines or imprisonment, and their products may be sealed by BIS if they lack the necessary ISI mark. This certification is vital for maintaining the credibility and safety of laboratory equipment.
The Indian Standard IS 2619:2018 specifies the requirements for Glass Beakers used in laboratory settings, ensuring they meet high standards of quality and performance. This standard includes guidelines for the beakers' material composition, dimensions, and thermal resistance, ensuring they can withstand laboratory conditions such as heat and chemical exposure. As per the Laboratory Glassware (Quality Control) Order, 2023, issued by the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, BIS certification is mandatory for all Glass Beakers to bear the ISI mark. Compliance with this standard is crucial, as failure to obtain BIS certification can result in legal penalties, including fines or imprisonment, and products may be sealed by BIS if they do not display the required ISI mark
Testing Required for BIS Certification
To obtain BIS
Certification (ISI Mark) for Glass Beakers, the product must undergo
rigorous testing as per IS 2619:2018. The tests ensure that the cylinders meet
the necessary standards in terms of performance and safety. The key tests
include:
Dimensional Accuracy:
Ensures precise size and volume specifications.
Chemical Resistance:
Verifies resistance to chemical reactions and corrosion.
Durability Testing:
Assesses long-term use and resistance to breakage.
Thermal Shock Resistance:
Checks ability to withstand sudden temperature changes.
Graduation and Marking:
Confirms clarity and accuracy of measurement markings.
Appearance Inspection:
Ensures visual quality and absence of defects.
Process of BIS Certification for Glass Beakers
Obtaining BIS certification for Glass Beakers involves several steps. The process is designed to ensure that all products meet the required standards before they reach consumers. Here’s a step-by-step guide:
Step 1. Application Submission: Submit an application to BIS with the required fees, including product details, manufacturing process, and quality control measures.
Step 2. Product Testing: The Glass
Beakers is tested in a BIS-recognized lab to ensure compliance with IS 2619:2018 standards.
Step 3. Factory Inspection: BIS
officials inspect the manufacturing facility to verify adherence to standards,
including raw materials, processes, and quality control.
Step 4. Evaluation of Test Reports: BIS
evaluates the lab test results. If the product meets all standards, it’s
approved for certification.
Step 5. Grant of BIS License: Upon
meeting all requirements, BIS grants the license, allowing the use of the ISI
mark on the product.
Step 6. Marking and Labeling: Ensure
that all certified products display the ISI mark, license number, and relevant
information.
To apply for BIS certification, manufacturers need to submit the following documents:
● Application form
● Manufacturing process details
● Quality control plan
● Test reports from BIS-approved laboratories
● Factory layout and equipment details
● Proof of business registration
● Product specifications and technical details
● Declaration of conformity to Indian standards
Additionally, manufacturers may be required to provide proof of compliance with environmental and safety regulations, depending on the specific type of product being certified.
