SCHEME OF INSPECTION AND TESTING

1. LABORATORY - A laboratory shall be maintained which shall be suitably equipped (as per the
requirement given in column 2 of Table 1) and staffed, where different tests given in the
specification shall be carried out in accordance with the methods given in the specification.

The manufacturer shall prepare a calibration plan for the test equipment.

2. TEST RECORDS – The manufacturer shall maintain test records for the tests carried out to
establish conformity.

3. LABELLING, MARKING, PACKING – The Standard Mark as given in Schedule of the

license and Licence Number (i.e. CM/L ........................ ) shall be incorporated, and the marking
and packing shall be done as per the provisions of the Indian Standard, provided always that
the product thus marked and packed conforms to all the requirement of the specification. In
addition, details of BIS website shall be marked as follows: ―For details of BIS certification
please visit www.bis.gov.in‖

4. CONTROL UNIT – EC Grade Aluminium rod of a particular nominal diameter and particular
Tensile strength range produced by Continuous Casting and Rolling in the same production line
constitute a Control unit.

5. LEVELS OF CONTROL - The tests as indicated in column 1 of Table 1 and the levels of control
in column 3 of Table 1, shall be carried out on the whole production of the factory whichis
covered by this plan and appropriate records maintained in accordance with paragraph 2 above.

All the production which conforms to the Indian Standards and covered by the licence should be
marked with Standard Mark.

6. TEST CERTIFICATE - For each consignment of BIS Certified material conforming to IS

5484:2023, there shall be a test certificate which shall contain the Standard Mark, the Control Unit
number and the corresponding test results (as given in Annexure-I enclosed)

7. REJECTIONS – Disposal of non-conforming product shall be done in such a way so

as to ensure that there is no violation of provisions of BIS Act, 2016.
