Primary Aluminum Ingots for Re-melting are a fundamental raw material in the aluminum industry, essential for various manufacturing processes. These ingots are produced through the electrolytic reduction of alumina, resulting in high-purity aluminum that is cast into specific shapes for re-melting purposes. These ingots are characterized by their high aluminum content and low impurities, making them suitable for recycling and re-melting into various aluminum-based products.

They are widely used in industries such as automotive, construction, aerospace, and packaging, where aluminum's lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and malleable properties are highly advantageous.

The Indian government has made an important decision to make sure that primary aluminum ingots used for melting and reusing in India are of good quality and safe. This decision was announced on August 31, 2023, and it's important for companies that make these ingots, those who bring them into the country, and the people who use them.

The government understands that it's crucial to have high-quality standards when it comes to making and selling these aluminum ingots. So, they have made a rule that says these products must meet a specific Indian quality standard called IS 2590:1987. This rule ensures that the ingots are made and sold following the right guidelines to keep them safe and reliable.

IS 2590:1987 is a standard of rules for primary aluminum ingots meant for re melting. If these ingots meet these rules, they can have a special mark on them to show they meet the standard. To use this mark, the companies making these ingots need to get permission from the Bureau of Indian Standards. This permission follows a specific process outlined in the Bureau of Indian Standards (Conformity Assessment) Regulations, 2018.

The Key Highlights are:

Timeline for Implementation

The Order specifies a three-month grace period from the date of publication for its implementation. This allows manufacturers and stake holders time to prepare for compliance with the new standards.

Exemptions for Export

While this directive is crucial for ensuring the quality of primary aluminium ingots for re-melting within the Indian market, it's important to clarify that it does not apply to goods or articles meant for export. This exemption acknowledges that international markets may have their own specific requirements and standards.
