BIS CERTIFICATION FOR TEREPHTHALIC ACID
IS 15030:2001

IS 15030:2001 covers Terephthalic acid. The Bureau of Indian Standards adopted this Indian Standard after the Petroleum, Coal, and Related Products Division Council approved the draft finalized by the Organic Chemicals Sectional Committee.

This standard specifies the requirements and sampling and testing methods for pure terephthalic acid. Terephthalic acid is produced by oxidizing para-xylene, and it is also known as para phthalic acid, benzene para dicarboxylic acid, or 1,4 benzene dicarboxylic acid in the commercial world. By combining with glycols, it is used in the production of synthetic resins, fibres, and films.

The material must be in the form of a white, crystalline, free-flowing powder that is free of foreign impurities such as dust and dirt. Terephthalic is not soluble in water, chloroform, ether, or acetic acid, but it is slightly soluble in alcohol and completely soluble in alkalis, and Terephthalic acid is extremely non-toxic. When tested according to the method specified, the material must also meet the requirements specified in the standard.

TESTS

Test shall be carried out in accordance with the method prescribed in the standard.

• Moisture content
• Determination of colour
• Determination of Ash
• Acid value
• Determination of Iron, cobalt, manganese, and chromium

Packing and Marking:

The material shall be supplied in 1000 kg bulk containers of flexible woven plastic or in packages agreed upon between the purchaser and the supplier.

The packages must be marked with the following information in accordance with the standard.

The Manufacturer must obtain a BIS license from the Bureau of Indian Standards to use a standard mark (ISI Mark). The BIS grants a license based on a successful assessment of manufacturing infrastructure, quality control, testing capabilities, and production process.
