BIS Certification For Grey Iron Castings IS 210: 2009

May 20, 2025 | 2 min Read

ISI/BIS Certification for Grey Iron Castings is a mandatory requirement for all manufacturers in compliance with IS 210:2009 standards. Grey iron castings, known as grey cast iron, boast a distinctive graphitic microstructure, which imparts a grey colour upon fracturing. The wide application of this material in industries is due to its exceptional machinability, favourable thermal conductivity and economic feasibility. Therefore, to maintain the quality standards, DPIIT, Ministry of Commerce & Industry, Government of India, mandates BIS certification for grey iron castings imported into India, conforming to IS 210 guidelines.

IS 210: 2009

IS 210:2009, established by Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) under the directions of DPIIT, comprehensively outlines the conditions required for grey iron casting. It features seven grades—FG 150, FG 200, FG 220, FG 260, FG 300, FG 350, and FG 400. Effective February 23, 2024, manufacturers, whether domestic or international, will all be required to obtain BIS certification for grey iron castings.
