The Ministry of Steel, Government of India, is committed to fostering a safe and quality-centric environment nationwide by issuing Quality Control Orders (QCOs) under the Environment, Health & Safety (EHS) framework. These orders regulate various goods imported into or manufactured within the country.  

In line with this objective, a recent QCO has been issued to regulate “Steel Ingots, Billets, and Blooms for the Production of Springs, Rivets, and Screws for General Engineering Applications – Specification.” This product falls under the mandatory BIS-ISI Mark certification scheme (Scheme-I of Schedule II), making it imperative for manufacturers and importers to obtain a valid license by a specified deadline. Failure to comply will prohibit importing, manufacturing or selling these goods in the Indian market.  

Certification plays a crucial role in ensuring that products meet specific quality and safety standards mandated by the government. Its implementation aims to safeguard consumers, promote standardization, uphold public health and safety, facilitate international trade, and stimulate economic development. 

To achieve BIS certification, products must fully comply with all parameters outlined in the corresponding Indian Standard. This ensures that products meet stringent quality and safety requirements, bolstering consumer confidence and advancing industry standards.
