INTRODUCTION

Steel wire is frequently employed in producing staples, pins, and clips because of its adaptability. It is valued for its diverse characteristics, which encompass strength, flexibility, and the ability to withstand wear and damage.

To ensure the product quality of steel wire for staples, pins & clips, 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.
