BIS certification for Wrought aluminium and aluminium alloy bars, rods, tubes, sections, plates and sheets for electrical applications IS 5082:1998

Mandatory BIS certification for wrought aluminium and aluminium alloy bars, rods, tubes, sections, plates and sheets for electrical applications is governed by IS 5082:1998. This important inclusion in the ISI certification scheme signifies that these products cannot be exported, imported or sold in the Indian consumer market without the ISI mark.

Manufacturers strive to enhance aluminium alloys to meet the specific requirements of electrical engineering. In particular, innovations such as aluminium-zirconium conductors have been developed to double the capacity of power lines without the need to replace or build new pylons, which is especially valuable in areas with limited space planning or challenging landscapes. Are proved.

As outlined in IS 5082:1998, this standard specifies stringent requirements for wrought aluminium and aluminium alloy bars, rods, tubes, sections, plates and sheets for electrical applications. It details the chemical composition, mechanical properties and electrical resistivity/conductivity parameters. The standard covers extruded bars and rods above 6 mm diameter, extruded angles, channels, other sections and profiles (including tubes and hollow sections with a thickness of 3 mm and above), as well as rolled plates and sheets with a thickness of 3 . mm and above.
