Documentation gaps often cause delays in licensing. A valid BIS licence ensures legal sale and smooth import clearance.

Such situations have become frequent as India has been more and more strict in its alloy products enforcement.Ferrosilicon is one of the most essential raw materials in steelmaking, and the quality of it makes the stability of the furnace and the metallurgical performance vary. This is the reason for the existence of the BIS...

  BIS CERTIFICATION FOR STAINLESS STEEL WIRE ROD IS 6527:1995 A COMPREHENSIVE CONSULTANT-GRADE GUIDE BIS certification for stainless steel wire rod, against the IS 6527:1995, provides assurance of compliance with India’s requisite quality requirements.

It turned out the buyer only wanted BIS-certified stainless steel wire rod, but the mill assumed the regulation only applied to finished products and not to semi-finished product like wire rod. That misunderstanding cost a three-month de...
