Rubber Compound and Process Assessment
Rubber gasket manufacturing for pressure cookers is not straightforward - the compound formulation, vulcanisation conditions, moulding process, and post-cure quality directly determine whether the finished gasket meets IS 7466:2023's physical and performance requirements. Standphill India began by understanding Assian Rubber Industries' compound formulation, rubber mixing process, moulding operations, curing parameters, and in-house testing capability before any gap analysis or documentation work commenced.
Pre-Audit Gap Analysis and Compliance Preparation
A detailed pre-audit gap analysis was conducted at the Banthla, Ghaziabad facility - assessing the rubber compound mixing and processing controls, moulding and vulcanisation process parameters, finished gasket dimensional inspection, in-house testing infrastructure for IS 7466:2023 physical properties, documentation systems, and quality records. Every compliance gap was identified and corrective actions were implemented before the BIS application was filed.
BIS Application and Documentation
Complete BIS ISI Mark licence application documentation was prepared under IS 7466:2023 - covering rubber gasket product specifications, compound details, manufacturing process documentation, vulcanisation parameter records, quality control procedures, in-house testing equipment information, and all required declarations. The application was filed through the BIS portal after thorough verification.
Product Testing Coordination
Rubber gasket samples were tested at a BIS - recognised testing laboratory for all IS 7466:2023 parameters - hardness, tensile strength, elongation at break, compression set, heat aging properties, steam resistance, and dimensional verification - with first-attempt clearance across all parameters.
BIS Factory Audit Support and Licence Grant
On-ground support was provided throughout the BIS factory inspection at the Ghaziabad facility. Post-audit follow-up was managed until licence 8700208816 was officially granted on October 1, 2025.
