INTRODUCTION

Hydrogen peroxide is primarily used in industry as an oxidizing and bleaching agent, and also as disinfectant. It is a colorless and odorless liquid. The pattern of its use has shifted over time, and hydrogen peroxide is now increasingly used by other industries, including chemicals, electronics, paper, cosmetics, and so on. These industries may have additional requirements, which are addressed in this standard.

To ensure the product quality of hydrogen peroxide, 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 2080:1980 covers Stabilized Hydrogen Peroxide. That describes the requirements and text to check and maintain the quality of product.
