BIS ISI Certification for High Alumina Refractory Cement (IS 15895:2018): One-stop Shop for Manufacturers

The production of a refractory cement for industrial applications at high temperatures goes beyond maintaining its quality alone. Moreover, if the type of cement produced is High Alumina Refractory Cement, then it is just as vital to make sure that the cement is in line with the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) before the cement can be introduced into the Indian market.

The use of refractory cement becomes a necessity when producing industrial goods like steel, cement, foundry, glass, and petrochemicals since normal cement cannot handle such high temperatures. To ensure uniformity in the quality of the product, it is necessary to get BIS ISI Certification for high-alumina refractory cement products.

In case you need our guidance in finding out the Best BIS standard for your product, preparation of documentation, testing of the product, factory inspection of the product, and issuance of a BIS licence, we would be happy to help you at UMSPCS.

What is High Alumina Refractory Cement (IS 15895:2018)?

'High alumina refractory cement' refers to a particular variety of hydraulic cement that is made using high alumina content raw material. This type of cement is used when there is a requirement for application in such areas where the structure is subjected to high temperatures and chemical reactions and can’t be used in construction work.

The Indian Standard related to this material is IS 15895:2018, and this standard sets out all the requirements and the testing procedure that manufacturers should follow. Compliance with this standard ensures consistent quality of the product and its reliable operation in the industrial field.

Why is it Necessary to Have BIS ISI Certification?

The Government of India has released Quality Control Orders (QCOs) for a wide range of cement products to make sure that only the products conforming to these QCOs are being produced and marketed in India. The manufacturers must obtain a BIS license prior to marking ISI on high-alumina refractory cement.

BIS certification assists the manufacturers in the following ways:

  • Comply with statutory requirements.
  • Show adherence to Indian Standards.
  • Improve market credibility.
  • Strengthen customer confidence.
  • Minimize liability for non-compliance and risk of regulatory repercussions.

Failure to obtain the appropriate BIS licence for manufacturing or selling a notified product could result in legal and commercial ramifications in accordance with the relevant regulations.

Who Needs BIS ISI Certification?

It is generally required for manufacturers of high-alumina refractory cement for the Indian market for BIS certification.

This includes:

  • Cement manufacturers
  • Refractory material manufacturers
  • Industrial cement producers
  • Brand owners who produce under their own brand name.
  • Foreign Manufacturers Providing products to India under the applicable BIS certification route.

Manufacturers must ensure that their product is to be used and produced within the notified scope of the relevant Quality Control Order before it can be commercialised or produced for use.

Product Testing Requirements as per IS 15895:2018

BIS checks that the product conforms to the quality standards defined in IS 15895:2018 before certifying the product. Testing is conducted at BIS-recognised labs, and the method of testing as per the relevant standard is followed.

Typically, the evaluation involves verifying:

  • Chemical composition
  • Fineness
  • Setting time
  • Compressive strength
  • Pyrometric Cone Equivalent (PCE)
  • Other prescribed quality characteristics are:
  • Other prescribed quality characteristics are as follows:

The purpose of testing is to ensure that the performance of the cement is consistently satisfactory, as expected for refractory us

BIS ISI Certification Process for High Alumina Refractory Cement

Step 1: Product Profiling & Indian Standard Identification

The BIS ISI certificate identifies the relevant Indian Standard (IS code).
Our team considers:
  • Details of the item
  • Production process
  • BIS requirements
  • Quality Control Orders, or QCOs
    • Accurately identifying the Indian Standard is crucial to preventing issues with product classification, testing, and application process delays.

    Step 2: Documentation and Product Testing

    The laboratory that has been approved by the National Accreditation Board for Certification Bodies (NABL) will test products and produce documentation in compliance with the relevant Indian standard.
    The assistance procedure consists of:
  • Establishing the process for product testing
  • Creating technical documentation
  • Gathering data regarding the factory
  • Documentation for quality control
  • Creating application forms
    • Creating application forms results in the foundation of a BIS registration application.

    Step 3: Submitting a BIS Application

    Once testing and documentation are completed, the BIS registration application is submitted to the BIS portal.
    Usually, submitting an application entails:
  • Test findings
  • Information about the production and factory
  • Technical records
  • Fees set by the government
    • After that, the application is sent to the BIS authorities for additional handling.

    Step 4: Inspection of the BIS Factory

    BIS representatives conduct an inspection to determine whether the manufacturer meets all certification requirements.
    Typically, an inspection consists of the following:
  • Procedure for production
  • Production plant
  • A method for guaranteeing quality
  • The testing facilities of the facility
  • Control of product quality
    • During the inspection, the BIS representative may even gather product samples for independent testing.

    Step 5: Sampling, Testing, and Evaluation of Lab Report

    To ensure that the products meet the applicable Indian standards, samples collected during inspection are tested. After that, the testing lab sends the lab report straight to BIS officials for evaluation and certification.

    Step 6: Resolving Observations and Non-Conformity (If Any)

    Corrective action must be taken in response to observations or non-conformities at every stage of the process.
    At this point, some possible actions include the following:
  • Improvement of procedures
  • Documentation submission
  • Submission of a corrective action report
  • Enhancement of processes
    • All observations must be satisfactorily addressed before certification can move forward.

    Step 7: Payment of License & Marking Fees

    Following the technical assessment and compliance verification, the manufacturer must pay the following expenses:
  • The cost of a BIS licence
  • ISI marking charge
  • The cost of earning the necessary certification
    • This signifies the completion of the final phase of the certification procedure.

    Step 8: Awarding of the ISI License by BIS

    After each of the aforementioned processes is completed, BIS grants the ISI licence. Manufacturers can now use the ISI logo to show that their goods adhere to Indian standards.
