BIS ISI Certification for Stainless Steel Seamless Pipes and Tubes - IS 17875:2022

The product must be attractive, but when stainless steel seamless pipes are ordered for industrial applications, the buyer will have more expectations from the finished product. They must have confidence in the quality, mechanical strengths, chemical composition, and dimensions of the pipes and the grade of the pipe. This is where BIS compliance is important.

IS 17875:2022 is the Indian Standard for seamless stainless steel pipes and tubes intended for general use. Products listed in the aforementioned Indian Standard are subject to the Stainless Steel Pipes and Tubes (Quality Control) Order, 2025, which requires covered products to adhere to the Indian Standard and bear the BIS Standard Mark under a BIS licence.

The IS 17875:2022 standard specifies requirements for general-purpose stainless steel seamless pipes and tubes. It establishes requirements for chemical composition, mechanical characteristics, dimensions, testing, and other aspects of quality and is applicable to a variety of stainless steel types.

A BIS licence is not just about submitting a test report; for manufacturers, it is a process that requires more. The manufacturing process, testing facilities, quality control system and product scope and documentation should also be prepared as per the requirements of BIS.

UMSPCS supports manufacturers to meet these requirements with product evaluation, product documentation, factory inspection, testing coordination,n and application filing to BIS.

What is BIS ISI Certification for Stainless Steel Seamless Pipes – IS 17875:2022?

The Indian Standard, IS 17875:2022 Stainless Steel Seamless Pipes and Tubes for General Services Specification, specifies the requirements for seamless pipes and tubes, which are used in general services in India.

The standard covers the requirements for seamless stainless steel pipes and tubes for general service. It specifies different categories of stainless steel: ferritic, martensitic, austenitic and duplex grades, specifying the requirements applicable to each of these grades as per the applicable grade and product.

The standard covers some key product qualities, including:

  • Chemical composition
  • Mechanical properties
  • Hardness
  • Flaring
  • Flattening
  • Grain size
  • Leak tightness
  • Corrosion-related requirements
  • Dimensions and tolerances
  • Workmanship and finish
  • Marking

The specific requirements and tests applied to a product are dependent upon the scope of the product as defined in the grade and the type of the product in the standard.

Why is BIS ISI Certification Required for IS 17875:2022?

According to the Notification of Stainless Steel Pipes and Tubes (Quality Control) Order, 2025, it has been stated that the designated pipes and tubes manufactured out of stainless steel will be under compulsory conformity requirements.

Whereas, in the case of QCO-regulated products, the producers should follow the Indian Standard applicable to the particular product, and they have to apply for a BIS Standard Mark with a BIS license under Scheme-I.

BIS certification therefore helps manufacturers:

  • Comply with required regulatory requirements.
  • Conformity with IS 17875:2022.
  • Raise buyers' confidence in the industry.
  • Strengthen product credibility.
  • Continue the same manufacturing and quality-control processes.
  • Minimise the chances of problems with regulations due to non-compliance.

Who Needs BIS Certification for Stainless Steel Seamless Pipes?

The manufacturers of seamless pipes and tubes in stainless steel as per IS 17875:2022 should evaluate their applicability with regard to the QCO.

This may include:

  • The seamless pipe manufacturers are stainless steel seamless pipe manufacturers.
  • Stainless steel tube-making factories.
  • Manufacturers making multiple grades of product covered by the standard.
  • Industrial pipe manufacturers to the Indian market.
  • Manufacturers providing products under their brand name (if applicable).
  • Foreign manufacturers who import covered products to India via the applicable BIS certification process.

The QCO has certain provisions and exemptions, such as provisions on domestic manufacturing for export.
