BIS Certification for Safety Glass Specification Part 3 Solar Applications IS 2553 (Part 3)
ISI/BIS certification is mandatory for safety glass used in solar applications, which is a key standard in the solar energy industry as per IS 2553 (Part 3): 2019. This standard ensures that these essential components meet stringent quality and safety requirements. Safety glass plays a vital role in the functionality and durability of photovoltaic panels and solar flat plate collectors, contributing significantly to the overall performance and efficiency of solar energy systems. By complying with IS 2553 (Part 3): 2019, manufacturers guarantee that their safety glass conforms to high standards of material, manufacturing, finish, marking and packing.
IS 2553 (Part 3): 2019
IS 2553 (Part 3): 2019 classifies safety glass based on stringent requirements including material type, dimensions, finish and functional performance. The standard ensures that glass is cut to precise dimensions, maintains right-angled edges, and adheres to strict flatness criteria to prevent distortions that can affect performance. This classification includes a total of seven required tests, ensuring comprehensive quality assurance from raw materials to the final product.
