BIS CERTIFICATION FOR LOW PRESSURE REGULATORS FOR USE WITH LIQUEFIED PETROLEUM GAS (LPG) MIXTURES IS 9798

Published Date: January 20, 2025 4 min Read

BIS certification is essential for Low Pressure Regulators for Use with Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) Mixtures as per IS 9798:2013. This standard ensures that LPG regulators meet stringent safety, performance, and operational requirements, which are critical for the secure and efficient use of LPG in various applications. Low pressure regulators are designed to control and reduce the pressure of LPG mixtures, ensuring stable and safe gas supply in domestic, commercial, and industrial settings. Compliance with IS 9798:2013 reflects a manufacturer’s dedication to quality, safety, and operational effectiveness in LPG systems.

IS 9798:2013 – Low Pressure Regulators for Use with Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) Mixtures

The IS 9798:2013 standard outlines specific guidelines for the design, testing, and performance of low-pressure regulators used with LPG mixtures. These regulators are vital in ensuring consistent pressure control in LPG systems, preventing overpressure or leakage, which could lead to hazardous situations. The standard sets requirements for materials, durability, pressure tolerances, and compatibility with different LPG mixtures. It also specifies the testing procedures to verify the regulator's performance under various operational conditions to ensure safety and reliability.

Benefits of BIS Certification for Low Pressure LPG Regulators

Mandatory BIS certification under IS 9798:2013 ensures that low-pressure regulators for LPG mixtures meet the highest safety and operational standards. For users, it guarantees that regulators will function properly, minimizing the risk of leaks and pressure-related hazards. For manufacturers, BIS certification boosts credibility, ensures compliance with national regulations, and enhances customer trust. Certified regulators demonstrate a manufacturer's commitment to quality and safety in the management of LPG systems.
