BIS CERTIFICATION FOR UPVC PIPES FOR AGRICULTURAL PUMP SETS
IS 12231:1987

IS 12231-1987 covers unplasticized PVC pipes used in the suction and delivery lines of agriculture pump sets. The Bureau of Indian Standards adopted this Indian Standard on November 25, 1987, after the Civil Engineering Division Council approved the draft finalized by the Sanitary Appliances and Water Fittings Sectional Committee.

This specification specifies the requirements for plain end pipes made of unplasticized polyvinyl chloride for suction and delivery lines of agricultural pump sets that are exposed to the atmosphere and sunlight.

The pipe shall be classified by the pressure ratings (working pressure) at 27°C as follows:

Type of Pipe	Working pressure
1 W	0.4 MPa
2 W	0.6 MPa

The pipe shall be made primarily of polyvinyl chloride, to which only those additives may be added that are necessary to facilitate the manufacture of sound pipe with a good surface finish, mechanical strength, and capacity under use conditions.

The pipe shall be subjected to the following test:

1. Type test
2. Acceptance test
3. Reversion Test
4. Test for opacity
5. Test for resistance to sulphuric acid
6. Friction test
7. Vacuum test
8. Hydrostatic pressure test
9. Impact Strength test

All pipes must be clearly and indelibly marked with the Manufacturer's name or trademark, outside diameter, class of pipe and pressure rating, and batch number as per specification.

The Standard Mark (ISI Mark) may also be applied to each pipe. The Manufacturer must obtain a BIS license from the Bureau of Indian Standards to use a standard mark (ISI Mark). The Bureau grants a license based on a successful assessment of manufacturing infrastructure, production process, and quality control and testing capabilities during a visit to its manufacturing premises.

NOTE:

For Detailed Information about the Procedure for BIS ISI Certification,

Conclusion:

If a product falls under the scope of the BIS Conformity Assessment Scheme, All the manufacturers, importers, and foreign entities must obtain BIS ISI Certification. The Bureau may cancel the License if the product fails to meet certification requirements.
