Dimensional tolerances for rolled steel products must conform to either grade 1 or grade 2 of IS 3739:1972.

TESTS

Tests shall be carried out in accordance with the method specified.

Marking:

Each bar, billet, or forging must be marked with a cast number or identification mark that allows the cast to be traced. The standard mark (ISI Mark) may also be applied to the product. The Manufacturer must obtain a BIS license from the Bureau of Indian Standards to use a standard mark (ISI Mark). The Bureau grants a license based on a successful assessment of manufacturing infrastructure, production process, and quality control and testing capabilities during a visit to its manufacturing premises.
