Hem 8 IMPLEMENTAION AND PROMOTIONAL ACTIVITIES 8.1 Product Certification 8.1.1 The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) Certification Marks Scheme consists of a series of activities aimed at ensuring the quality of the products under Ceriification at the various staethe manufacturer's premises and providing. a third party certification: The presence-of the BIS Standard Merk on a product indicates that the produet has been produced and inspected in accordance with an approved Scheme of Testing and Inspection that incorporates means to ascertain conformance of products with requirements stipulated in the relevant Indian standards. BIS organizes frequent surveillance visits to maintain a check on the quality of goods certified on a continued basis, The total number of Indian Standards covered under BIS Certification Marks Scheme is 1198. 8.1.3 A list of standards covered under Certification Marking Scheme pertaining to PCD 6 is given below: 1s le No, of Licensees 702:1988 Industrial Bitumen (second revision) 9 8887:2004 Bitumen emulsion for roads (cationic type) 9 (first revision) 14982:2001 _Anti-stripping agents (amine type) 2 15462:2004 Polymer and rubber modified bitumen 3 ‘The Committee may note and consider for implementation of more number of Indian Standards formulated by this Committee 8.2 System Certification 8.2.1 Quality Systems Certification BIS Quality Systems Certification Scheme (QSCS) against IS/ISO 9000 series of standards was launched in September 1991 under an Act of Parliament, The first license under this Scheme was granted in July, 1992. BIS has so far granted 1432 licenses under this Scheme covering various manufacturing and service sectors out of which 95 license are relevant to PCD work area, BIS QSCS is accredited by Rad voor Accreditate (RVA) of Netherlands for eighteen major areas of economy and thus has International recognition for the Scheme. The fees, which have been prescribed by BIS for obtaining quality systems certification, is very economical and competitive for the industry and service sectors. The Scheme also provides group concession to the industries coming under one corporate group and also to small-scale industries, The Committee may note. 8.2.2 Environment Management System Certification BIS has launched an Environment Management Systems (EMS) Certification Scheme that aims at helping organizations in demonstrating their ability of compliance with Environmental Management System (EMS) Standard IS/ISO 14001:2000,EMS is applicable to those environmental aspects, which the organization can control and over which it can be expected to have an influence. It does nol itself state specific environmental performance criteria, So far over 109 licences have been granted as per IS/ISO 14001 The Committee may note. 8.2.3 HACCP Certification BIS has launched HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point) integrated Quality Systems (ISO 9000) Certification for food industry. This Certification is operated through IS/ISO 9000 series of standards for quality systems and IS 15000:1998 Indian Standard on “Food Hygiene-Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) ~ System and guidelines for its application’, 1S 15000 is identical to the recommended International Code of Practice ~ General principle of Food Hygiene CAC/RCP ~ 1 adopted by Codex Alimentarious Commission ‘Through these schemes food processing industries can ensure food safety and quality assurance and demonstrate conformance to relevant regulations, food safety measures and requirements of customer needs. Being based on international practices it provides for universal acceptance and International competitiveness.

The test data are given as under : Temperature | ‘Test-1 TEST2 Ti 190 degree C 35.4 347 20-55 225 46.0 513 __ 30-75 260 74.0 772A 40-90 315 91.5 91.9 60-100 360 100) 0) 100 The Distillate (including water content) shall be measured as percentage, by volume of total distillates to 360 deg C and reported, The method IS:1213-1978 shall be modified with respect to distillation of emulsion, as sufficient water is present in the emulsion and included in IS-8887 as Annexure, enclosed herewith as Annexure-I, The amendment shall be drafted by convener of the group. 72) TESTS ON RESIDUE : Since $S-1 Emulsion is used for priming purpose, the Penetration and Ductility Tests on Residue are not relevant and same may be omitted for $S-1 grade only, ALWATER CONTENT : The IS Test method for determination of Water Content IS 121 - 1978 (Dean and Stark Method) shall be slightly modified and inchided as Annexure in IS:8887, ‘The modified method is enclosed herewith as Annexure ~ [I The Water Content, percent by mass would be taken as 10 - 20 percent and necessary change would be made in 1S:8887 accordingly. A PARTICLE CHARGE : Members of the expert group decided that this test should not be applicable for $8-1 grade of emulsion only and need to be omitted accordingly 5) Breaking Index Test: Attempts were made to demonstrate Breaking Index Test following Modified 18:15173-2002 by M/S Hindustan Colas Limited. The members are of the opinion that the grades of Emulsion to see whether it can be utilized to differemiate various grades of Bitumen Emulsion, Necessaty action in the matter to be taken by CRRI, Hindustan Colas, 1OCL 9. TENURE OF THE EXPERT GROUP : Members opined that the tenure of this group under convenership of Dr. P. K. Jain; may be extended for about Eight months, so thet the necessary task may be completed in a Scientific manner. It is also opined that Dr. NK. $ Pundhir may be co-opted as the member of the Expert Group, The mee ended with thanks to M/S Hindustan Colas Limited for hosting the meeting and Providing necessary support and to Convener ofthe Group for chairing the meeting ‘TEST METHODS: ANNEXURE I: Distillation test for CS$-1 Emulsion (Extracts talven from IS 1213:1978) Apparatus: Distillation test Apparatus, thermometer (0 to 360 °C), heating mantle, and erow receiver 100 mi. Procedure: such a way that the distillate comes at a rate of 50 ~ 70 drops per minute except ni end of the distillation. The heat input shall not be so rapid as to result in excess of (8temperature 360°: C. Collect the distillate in the crow receiver and! record the volume of distillate at all specified temperatures. Calculation: Residue: Calculate the percent residue as follows :- R= [(200-TD)/200] * 100 Where R = Residue content in volume ‘TD = total distillate recovered to 360°C in ml, Total distillate: Calculate the percent total distillate as follows; ‘TD percent = (TD/200) * 100 Where 200 is the original volume the sample. Distillate Fractions Report the volume percent as follows: UP to 190°C UP to 225°C UP to 260°C UP to 316°C Determine the percentages of volume of the each distillate by dividing the observed volume in cach temperature in milliliters of the fraction by the milliliters recovered @ 360°C and multiply by 100, Report to the nearest 0.1 as the distillate. ANNEXURE IL: - Determination of water content (Dean & stark Method) IS 1211:1978 Scope: this standard covers the method for the determination of water content of asphalt bitumen and asphalt based emulsions & cutbacks. Apparatus: 500ml capacity RB flask, condenser, Dean & stark receiver, electrical heating mantle. Solve Carrier liquid shall be any one of the following: - 1. Blend of 20% by volume of industrial grade toluene and 80% of industrial grade xylene \q2. Petroleum or coal tar naphtha (IS: 213: 1968) free from water yielding not more than 5% distillate @ 125°C and not less than 20% at 160°C 3. Petroleum sprit with a boiling range of 100-120°C Procedure Place about 100g of sample in the flask and add 100ml of solvent. Add 2-3 grams of porcelain bits to avoid bumping of the liquid. Attach the flask to the Dean and stark condensing and collecting system, and heat the flask at such a rate that he condensate falls from the end of the condenser at a rate of two to five drops per second. Continue the distillation until condensed water is no longer visible in any part of the apparatus except the bottom of the graduated tube and until the volume of water collected remains constant for a period not less than five minutes, Remove the persistent ring of condensed water in the condenser tube, if any by increasing the rate of distillation by a few drops per second Wash droplets of water, which adhere to the lower end of the condenser tube into the receiver with solvent/carrier liquid using the spray tube, Insert a loose plug of cotton wool in the top of the condenser tube to prevent the condensation of atmospheric moisture in the condenser tube. Report: Report the results-as water content to the nearest 0.1% by weight.

Forward High traffic, heavy axle loads, and climatic conditions have been blamed for premature failure of roads in India, and therefore, multi-grade bitumen has been touted as the saviour similar to CRMB, which is being used without adequate quality controls, Such conditions also prevail in ‘many countries in the world but excellent roads are being built with conventional bitamens. Thad the privilege of chairing the ASTM International Committee DO4 on Road and Paving Materials for (wo years in 1999 and 2000. This committee is responsible for over 200 standards used worldwide, I have been also responsible for developing 4 new standards, which were adopted by the ASTM. My following comments are based on this experience. |. There is transparency in the ASTM system of new standard approval, which is lacking in this case in terms of who is the originator of this new specification. 2, How this specification was developed? Where is the background technical data to support the specified tests and their test values? That data should be circulated and attached with draft. If published, make a reference. It should be mandatory. 3. Whenever a new binder is doveloped in the US, asphalt mixtures are prepared with that binder and tested in the laboratory and field to see if the binder is really effective in the mix, which is what counts. That data should also be attached with this draft. This should be mandatory, In view of the above three observations, the introduction of this document is simply pre-mature and it should be withdrawn. If this is not done, it can be an embarrassing situation if the multi- grade bitumen docs not work in real life, field situation. The multi-grade bitumens developed by private oil companies in the world generally have a patent. Does this proposed bitumen have a patent? Not all multi-grade bitumens were a success in the US. Therefore, comprehensive lab and field trials are necessary in this case. Section 4,1 Section 4.2 ‘The statement is vague. Section 5 The Penetration testis riot suitable for gra 1g modified bitumens, use viscosity instead Table 1 Again, what is the source/justification for the tests and Values included? Should we just simply ‘rust the agency and face the consequences if it does not work? Provide all the background data, which can be posted on the BIS.web site or make reference if the data has been published somewhere;Most of the tests are antiquated, outdated, or redundant. We need some rational, fundamental test methods, Do not use the excuse that the user may not be able to run tests such as viscosity. Do not underestimate their capability, They will do it if it is in the specifications. That is how progress is made in a field, General This exactly the same document was discussed during the 4" meeting of the Bitumen and Tar Products Subcommittee PCD 6:2 held on 9 November 2005, It was decided during that meeting that a 3-member Working Group with Dr. U. C. Gupta as convenor and Messrs, B. K, Tyagi and P. K. Jain as members will discuss and decide on the values of penetration index, penetration ratio, viscosity at 60 C and 135 C while considering other comments as well. The BIS while recirculating this draft should tell us with a brief note whether that 3-member Working Group had met and reviewed this document and also took care of all other important comments received last time, [ have examined this document and I find it exactly to be the same as last time, So it appears unreasonable to me to reballot the same document with an utter disregard for all comments received last time. I recommend this document be withdrawn now and reballoted later after taking care of the comments received earlier.” 3. The above comments of Prof. Prithvi Singh Kandhal have been circulated to the working group members who have prepared the wide circulation draft. In response, the following comments have been received from IOC (R&D): “High traffic intensity, heavy axle loads and climatic conditions are the scientific reasons for the premature failure of the roads not only in India but in the entire world, Multi Grade Bitumen has Not been touted as a saviour similar to CRMB. CRMB and Multigrade bitumen are the product of different class and composition, Multigrade Bitumen is also different from conventional bitumen, The draft specification of the Multigrade bitumen has been discussed in detail in one of the workshop organized by Central Road Research Institute. In this workshop the participants were from oil industry, research Institutes, user departments like Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, National Highway Authority of India etc. In this workshop the consensus was to prepare the draft specification in line with the observat and submit to BIS. The draft specification was finalized, taking into consideration the observations of the participants and submitted to BIS for consideration, The draft specification was further discussed at length in BIS in a meeting of PCD 6 in the month of November 2005, As suggested by the members the draft specification was further reviewed by @ committee consisting of Dr U.C. Gupta of UP, Dr P.K. Jain of CRRI and Sh B.R, Tyagi of Indian Oil, R&D Centre, The working group met on December 16, 2005 at R&D Centre, Faridabad, debated all the issues and finalized the document in view of the comments received from the members of PCD 6. Convener of the working. group Dr U.C. Gupta, forwarded the revised draft specification of Multigrade bitumen to BIS in the month of December 2005. The minutes of the meeting held on December 16, 2005 are enclosed for your ready reference, 24‘The draft specification of Multigrade bitumen has been prepared jointly by Indian Oil Corporation, Research & Development Centre, Central Road Research Institute and Indian Institute of Petroleum. All the three research institutions are the premium research institutions of the country. Any decision taken by these three premium organizations will be a mature decision It may please be noted that Indian Oil R&D Centre has developed this product aiter carrying out lot of research work. The Indian patent has been filed in the year 1999, The trial production of the product has already been done on a commercial scale. The product developed by Indian Oil R&D has been tested for performance by Highway Research Station, Chennai on their laboratory test track. The observations of the Highway Research Station, Chennai are that the performance of Multigrade bitumen is comparable/better than the conventional bitumen 80/100 and bitumen 60/70. Indian Oil R&D, Central Road Research Institute and Boarder Roads Organization have laid the test tracks using the Multigrade bitumen in September 2005 at Drass (J&K) and April 2006 in Jaisalmer (Rajasthan), Drass is the 2" coldest place in the world and Jaisalmer is also one of the hottest place. These two places have been selected by these three-premium organization keeping, in mind the severe climatic conditions. It may please be noted that the test tracks at these two locations are performing satisfactorily. ‘The tests, given in the draft specification, are in line with most of the international / company’s specifications of Multigrade bitumen, Shell, Bobil, British Petroleum and other MNCs are already manufacturing, marketing this product in Australia, Europe, USA and other countries. The life extension with Multigrade bitumen claimed by foreign rescarchers is more than 40% In view of the above the draft specification, which has gone for wide circulation should be discussed in BIS and finalized at an early date,”ANNEX TY .

General Manager, IOC, R&D Faridabad The following issues in connection with the finalization of draft specification of Mulligrade bitumen were deliberated at R&D Center Faridabad on December 46, 2005 as per the guideline of sub committee, PCD 6.2, {The vaiue of the penetration for MGB 45 & MGB 55 has been changed to 70-100 and 30-60 from 80-120 & 30-70, respectively in view of revised specification of paving bitumen IS :73 2. The value of FRAASS Breaking Point for MGB 55 has been changed from -5°C to ~10 °C in view of its wider application Particularly to low temperature region. 3. In the draft specification, the value of Penetration Index was based on penetration & ‘softening point of the Bitumen. It was based on the assuniption that the penetration of the Bitumen will be 800 at the softening point temperature. This issue was also deliberated in length in the sub-committee, held on November 9, 2005 at BIS New Delhi based on the comments received from various organizations, As advised, it was further deliberated within the working group and finalized that the penetration index value should be based on penetration values at two different temperature (at 25°C & 10°C) Which does not have any assumption and is more reliable in comparison to based on penetration & softening point. The equation for calculating penetration index based on penetration values at two different temperatures has been shown in Annexure-t, 4, The values of viscosity at 60°C were also discussed for MGB 45 & MGB 55. The working group decided that the value of viscosity should be changed from 2500 4 500 & - 5000 1000 to 2000 minimum & 6000 minimum for MGB 45 & MGB $5, respectively to have the betler stiffness of bitumen at pavement sqryige (emperalines S.
