Introduction

The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) has established specific guidelines for automotive vehicle tubes for pneumatic tyres under IS 13098. The certification process ensures that these products meet national safety and quality standards, addressing aspects such as material strength, air retention, and the ability to withstand varying pressures during vehicle operation. BIS certification, marked by the ISI logo, signifies that the tubes are reliable and safe for use, providing assurance to consumers and manufacturers alike.

Why is BIS Certification Necessary for Automotive Vehicle Tubes for Pneumatic Tyres?

The BIS certification for automotive vehicle tubes is essential to ensure the safety and performance of the tubes under real-world conditions. These tubes play a crucial role in maintaining proper air pressure in vehicle tyres, which impacts vehicle handling, braking, and overall safety. Certification ensures that the tubes are durable, resistant to leaks, and able to maintain pressure in various operating environments. With BIS certification, consumers can trust the product’s reliability, while manufacturers ensure compliance with national safety regulations.

Overview of Indian Standard IS 13098

Indian Standard IS 13098 specifies the requirements for automotive vehicle tubes used in pneumatic tyres. It covers essential aspects such as material quality, ensuring durability and resistance to wear; pressure resistance, ensuring the tubes withstand both high and low pressures without failure for vehicle safety; air retention, ensuring the tubes do not deflate prematurely, maintaining safe tyre pressure; environmental resistance, which mandates the tubes to perform well under extreme temperatures, UV radiation, and moisture; and dimensional accuracy, ensuring proper fitment to avoid issues like air leakage or improper fitting. These specifications help ensure reliable performance, safety, and longevity of vehicle tubes across various operating conditions.

Process for BIS Certification

The BIS certification process for automotive vehicle tubes under IS 13098 involves the following steps:

Application Submission: Manufacturers submit an application along with technical specifications, safety features, and quality control documentation.

Document Review: BIS reviews the application and supporting documents to confirm compliance with IS 13098 standards.

Factory Inspection: BIS conducts an inspection of the manufacturing facility to ensure that the production process adheres to the specified standards and quality control measures.

Sample Testing: Samples of the tubes are tested in BIS-approved laboratories to assess performance, pressure retention, material strength, and other critical factors.

Certification Grant: Once testing and inspection are successfully completed, BIS grants certification, allowing the manufacturer to use the ISI mark on the product.

Documents Required for BIS Certification

To apply for BIS certification for automotive vehicle tubes, manufacturers must submit the following documents:

• Application form
• Detailed product specifications and technical details
• Quality control and manufacturing process documentation
• Test reports from BIS-approved laboratories
• Factory layout and manufacturing process details
