Potassium Carbonate (Anhydrous) is a versatile alkali
compound widely used across various industrial processes, including soap and
detergent manufacturing, glass production, dyeing and textile processing, and
chemical synthesis. Adhering to IS 7129:1992 standards is crucial to ensuring
the compound's quality, purity, and suitability for these diverse applications.
Introduction
The DPIIT, under the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, has introduced the Quality Control Order 2023, making BIS certification mandatory for Potassium Carbonate (Anhydrous) as per IS 7129:1992. This regulation, effective from January 1, 2024, ensures that only high-quality Potassium Carbonate is available in the market, aligning with India’s commitment to industrial safety and standardization.
Why BIS Certification is Necessary for Potassium Carbonate
BIS certification ensures that Potassium Carbonate meets the quality and safety standards outlined in IS 7129:1992. This is critical for industries relying on the chemical for manufacturing processes. Non-compliance with the Quality Control Order, 2023 attracts penalties under the Bureau of Indian Standards Act, 2016. Certification reassures buyers about the product's reliability and suitability for industrial applications.
Overview of Indian Standard IS 7129:1992
