INTRODUCTION

Galvanizing pots are containers or tanks used in the galvanization process. Galvanization is a method to shield steel and iron from rust by putting a layer of zinc on them. This layer of zinc works like a wall, stopping the metal from touching harmful things in the surroundings.

To ensure the product quality of galvanizing pots, the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) has made it mandatory for manufacturers to undergo BIS registration and obtain the BIS ISI mark before selling it in the market. Manufacturers can use the ISI Mark on their products only after obtaining a license from BIS that is granted after BIS registration. The presence of the ISI mark on a product indicates that it complies with BIS's stringent quality standards.

IS 8917:1978 covers Steel plates for Galvanizing Pot.

This standard specifies the steel requirements for manufacturing steel pots for holding molten zinc for the hot-dip galvanizing process.

REQUIREMENTS FOR IS 8917: 1978

1.     This steel must be guaranteed wieldable because the pots are fabricated by welding.

2.     The general requirements for the supply of steel plates for galvanizing pots must be in accordance with IS 1387:1967.

3.     The steel shall be produced using an open hearth, an electric, basic oxygen, or a combination of these processes.

4.     Steel must be fine-grained and killed with Al, Ti, Zr, or any other refiner.

5.     All finished steel must be well and cleanly rolled to the specified dimensions.

6.     Cracks, surface flaws, laminations, rough/jagged and imperfect edges, and all other harmful defects must be absent from the finished material.

7.     Depending on the requirements agreed upon between the purchaser and the manufacturer, the steel shall be supplied as-rolled or in the normalized condition.

8.     Manufacturers should check the grain size of the steel plate on a regular basis, as recommended in standard, and the grain size should be five or finer.

9.     Every plate with a 10 mm or greater thickness must be stamped with the cast number.

10.  The manufacturer's name and/or trade-mark must be painted or punched in a prominent location on the plate.

Benefits of BIS Certification

The BIS registration provides the following benefits:

1.     Increase sales: BIS-registered products are more likely to be of higher quality and attract more customers.

2.     Reduce the amount of money spent on quality maintenance: Upon getting certification, there's no need to follow separate quality guidelines for products.

3.     Enhance product credibility and reduce environmental risk: BIS-certified items are genuine and trustworthy because they work really well and last a long time.

4.     Ensure the highest level of quality and dependability: The presence of a BIS registration number implies that the product is of high quality and dependability.

5.     Ensure the organization’s expansion: BIS certification boosts your product’s reputation, resulting in significant growth and market exposure.

CONCLUSION

Galvanizing pots have been included in the mandatory ISI Certification Scheme under the IS 8917: 1978 standard. Manufacturers cannot import, export, or sell this product in the Indian consumer market without the ISI Mark imprinted.
