BIS CERTIFICATION FOR STEEL PLATES FOR PRESSURE VESSELS FOR INTERMEDIATE AND HIGH TEMPERATURE IS 2002

Published Date: Oct 03, 2025 4 min Read

BIS certification is mandatory for Steel Plates for Pressure Vessels for Intermediate and High Temperature Service including Boilers as per IS 2002:2009. This standard ensures that steel plates used in the fabrication of boilers, pressure vessels, and similar critical applications meet stringent requirements of strength, toughness, and durability under elevated temperatures and pressures. Certification under IS 2002:2009 confirms that these plates have been rigorously tested for mechanical properties, chemical composition, and weldability, ensuring they perform reliably in high-stress industrial environments. Compliance reflects a manufacturer’s commitment to safety, quality, and adherence to regulatory norms.

IS 2002:2009 – Steel Plates for Pressure Vessels for Intermediate and High Temperature Service including Boilers

This Indian Standard specifies the technical requirements for carbon-manganese and carbon-manganese-silicon steel plates intended for use in pressure vessels and boilers. It covers criteria for chemical composition, tensile strength, elongation, impact properties, and dimensional tolerances. The standard also prescribes manufacturing processes such as rolling and heat treatment, ensuring plates achieve the required mechanical performance. Plates are required to undergo tests including tensile testing, bend testing, impact testing, and ultrasonic examination to verify uniformity, strength, and resistance to defects, thereby ensuring safe use in pressure-bound applications.

Benefits of BIS Certification for Steel Plates under IS 2002:2009

BIS certification provides multiple benefits to manufacturers and end-users. For producers, it enhances product credibility, ensures compliance with statutory requirements, and facilitates domestic and international market acceptance. For consumers, certified steel plates guarantee reliability, durability, and safety in demanding applications such as boilers, reactors, and industrial pressure vessels. Certified products help minimize risks of material failure, leakage, or accidents, thereby safeguarding industrial operations and worker safety.
