BIS ISI Mark Certification for Mild Steel Wire for Cotter Pins – IS 10794:1984
Cotter pins are simple yet vital components used in mechanical joints, automotive assemblies, and industrial equipment. The quality of the mild steel wire used to manufacture these pins directly impacts their strength, performance, and reliability. To regulate quality, the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) has made ISI mark certification mandatory under IS 10794:1984.
In this article, we explain what this standard covers, why certification is mandatory, and how Standphill India can support manufacturers and importers in meeting all BIS compliance requirements.
What is IS 10794:1984?
IS 10794:1984 specifies the technical requirements for mild steel wire used for cotter pins. These wires are expected to have high ductility, uniform cross-section, and adequate mechanical strength.
Key parameters include:
Chemical composition
Tensile strength
Dimensional tolerances
Bend and wrapping tests
Surface finish (no cracks, rust, or scale)
Products conforming to this standard are suitable for forming cotter pins that withstand mechanical stress without cracking or breaking.
Why BIS Certification is Mandatory
As per the BIS Act, 2016 and relevant Quality Control Orders (QCOs), mild steel wire for cotter pins must carry the ISI mark to be sold, manufactured, or imported legally in India.
Key Benefits of Certification:
Ensures standardized quality across manufacturers
Helps prevent structural or mechanical failures in end-use
Enhances buyer trust and legal acceptance
Required for participation in government procurement and large-scale supply contracts
Without BIS certification, products may be:
Banned from online platforms
Rejected from government and B2B tenders
Seized or penalized by regulatory authorities
BIS Certification Process: Step-by-Step
1. Application Submission
Apply through the Manakonline Portal, providing:
Manufacturing unit details
Machinery and process flow
Raw material sources
Quality control practices
2. Sample Testing
Send samples to a BIS-recognised laboratory. The product is tested for:
Tensile strength
Chemical composition
Surface finish
Bending and wrapping resistance
Size accuracy
3. Factory Audit
BIS officers inspect the factory to verify:
Manufacturing and inspection procedures
Equipment calibration
Traceability of batches and labels
Safety and hygiene protocols
4. Grant of License
If all criteria are met, BIS issues a license to use the ISI mark with reference to IS 10794:1984.
5. Post-Certification Obligations
Regular in-house testing and record maintenance
Periodic surveillance audits by BIS
Timely license renewal and product scope updates
