May 20, 2024 | 2 min Read

BIS certification is mandatory for aluminium and aluminium alloy foils for pharmaceutical packaging. As Per IS 16011:2012 The versatility of wrought aluminium and aluminium alloy bars, rods, tubes, sections, plates and sheets, due to their ease of fabrication and recycling, increases their utility in various engineering fields.

In the field of electrical engineering, aluminium and its alloys play an important role in various applications such as electrical enclosures, busbars, generators, transformers, motors and power transmission and distribution systems. Their indispensable properties including electrical conductivity, lightweight nature and corrosion resistance make important contributions to the design and construction of power systems, as well as promote sustainability by reducing energy consumption and environmental impact.

The stringent requirements outlined in IS 16011:2012 for wrought aluminium and aluminium alloy bars, rods, tubes, sections, plates and sheets used in electrical applications include mechanical properties, electrical resistivity/conductivity and chemical composition. This standard applies to extruded angles, channels, various sections, profiles, tubes and hollow sections with a thickness of 3 mm or more, as well as extruded bars and rods with a diameter of more than 6 mm.

Tests

The following are the major tests for Aluminium and Aluminium Alloy Foil for Pharmaceutical Packaging:
