BIS ISI Mark Certification for Automotive Tubes for Pneumatic Tyres – IS 13098:2024
In the automotive industry, safety and performance hinge critically on the reliability of every component — especially tires and inner tubes. To ensure that tubes used inside pneumatic tires meet defined quality and safety standards, the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) has established IS 13098:2024, a specification that sets the requirements for automotive tubes for pneumatic tires. Manufacturers must comply with this standard to market their products under the ISI mark, signifying quality and regulatory compliance.
To simplify the certification journey, many businesses rely on Standphill India, one of the most trusted BIS certification consultants in the country. Their industry-specific expertise and end-to-end support make the process smooth, compliant, and hassle-free.
What is IS 13098:2024?
IS 13098:2024 is the Indian Standard that specifies the requirements, test methods, and inspection criteria for tubes intended for use in pneumatic tires of automotive vehicles. The standard aims to ensure that these tubes possess adequate strength, airtightness, elongation, and resistance to aging to withstand real-world driving conditions.
Products Covered
The standard applies to:
Tubes for pneumatic tyres used in automotive vehicles
It covers Class A and Class B tubes
Applicable to a range of tube sizes, as declared by the manufacturer
Key Technical Requirements
According to IS 13098:2024, automotive tubes must meet the following performance parameters:
| Test Parameter | Clause | Description |
| Form and Fit Test | 3.3 | Ensures proper compatibility with tire |
| Thickness Uniformity | 3.3.1/3.3.2 | Uniform wall thickness |
| Elongation | 4.1.1 | Minimum required elongation % |
| Strength of Splice | 4.1.2 | Adequate bond at splice area |
| Set After Aging | 4.1.3 | Performance retention after heat exposure |
| Accelerated Aging | 4.1.4 | Durability under simulated aging conditions |
| Air Tightness | 5 | No air leakage under pressure |
BIS ISI Mark Certification Process for Automotive Tubes for Pneumatic Tyres IS 13098:2024
1. Application Submission
Apply through the BIS portal
Submit product details, manufacturing capacity, quality assurance plan, and required documents
2. Product Testing
Samples (3 tubes with 3 valves + one matching tire) are drawn for:
Thickness uniformity
Air tightness
Elongation and splice strength
Aging resistance tests
3. Factory Audit
BIS officers inspect:
Manufacturing process
In-house laboratory (or testing arrangements)
Quality control and record-keeping systems
4. Grant of License
On successful testing and audit, BIS issues a license to use the Standard Mark (ISI mark)
Standphill India plays a key role here—coordinating testing, audit preparation, and documentation to ensure nothing is missed.

Grouping Guidelines for Certification
To simplify certification:
Tubes are grouped based on class (A or B)
One representative size from each class is tested to cover all sizes in that class
License can include multiple sizes, subject to factory testing capabilities
Test Equipment Required
Manufacturers must have or access the following equipment:
Tensile testing machine
Dial thickness gauge
Air compressor with pressure gauge
Oven for aging tests
Water tank for air tightness
Extensometer, Vernier calipers, etc.
Note: MSMEs may use cluster-based test facilities instead of setting up in-house labs.
Why BIS Certification is Important
1. Legal Requirement – Products without ISI marking cannot be sold in India under mandatory certification schemes
2. Consumer Trust – The ISI mark is a symbol of safety and quality assurance
3. Export Advantage – Certified products gain better marketability in domestic and international markets
