BIS CERTIFICATION FOR TPMS VALVES IS 18885(PART 3)

Published Date: Dec 03, 2025 4 min Read

BIS Certification is mandatory for TPMS Valves as per IS 18885 (Part 3):2021. This standard ensures that Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) valves meet the highest levels of safety, accuracy, and reliability in monitoring and maintaining optimal tire pressure. TPMS valves are critical components in modern automotive systems, designed to transmit accurate tire pressure data, improve vehicle performance, enhance fuel efficiency, and ensure road safety. IS 18885 (Part 3):2021 certified TPMS valves undergo stringent testing to guarantee durability, compatibility, and consistent performance under diverse operating conditions.

IS 18885 (Part 3):2021 – TPMS Valves

This Indian Standard specifies the design, dimensions, material requirements, and performance criteria for valves used in tire pressure monitoring systems. It covers aspects such as air-tightness, pressure resistance, fatigue strength, environmental resistance, and compatibility with sensors. The standard ensures that TPMS valves are robust enough to withstand continuous exposure to temperature variations, road vibrations, and harsh environmental conditions while maintaining precision and reliability. Inspection and testing play a vital role in certification. The standard prescribes evaluation methods for leakage, dimensional accuracy, pressure endurance, corrosion resistance, and mechanical durability. Tests also ensure that the valves function seamlessly with TPMS sensors without signal interference or performance degradation. Certified TPMS valves must demonstrate reliability over long-term use while maintaining safety and efficiency.

Benefits of BIS Certification for TPMS Valves

For manufacturers, BIS certification enhances market credibility, ensures compliance with regulatory norms, and improves acceptance in both domestic and global automotive markets. Certified TPMS valves reflect consistent quality, traceability, and reliability, strengthening trust among OEMs and consumers. For end-users, BIS-certified valves guarantee improved road safety, better fuel economy, reduced risk of tire-related accidents, and extended tire life.
