INTRODUCTION

Steel for high temperature bolts is a special kind of steel that stays strong even when it gets really hot. It is used to make bolts and screws for machines like boilers and turbines, where it can get super hot, so everything stays put and safe.

To ensure the product quality of steel for high temperature bolts, 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.
