How BIS Certification Assures Portland Cement Manufacturing Quality?

Quality Assurance for Portland Cement:A Crucial Factor

Quality assurance plays a pivotal role in Indian real estate businesses, especially when it comes to Cement standards. Be it about plot construction or building foundation pillars of a building, Cement standard determines the longevity of a real estate project. The BIS Certification 269:2015 on Portland Cementmandates certain quality tests on Manufactured Portland Cement quality to maintain the specific standard.

Necessity Of BIS Certification on Ordinary Portland Cement Standard

It has mandated BIS Certification 269:2015 on Portland Cement, to assure some of the following quality standards listed below-

1. Quality assurance marked by BIS ISI Certification Standard assures the structural safety of a multistoried building in a real estate project
2. Complying with IS 269 Standard check-list to manufacture a Cement quality that withstands tough weather and climatic conditions
3. Only IS 269:2015 marked Ordinary Portland Cement can passBIS testand evades the need for costly repair and maintenance work???
4. Reputation for producing high-quality cement to enhance the credibility of Indian cement manufacturer in both the domestic and international market
5. Adhere to necessary quality benchmarks to gain consumer reliability on the product???
6. Reducing the risk of structural failure inreal estate projects
7. Usage of the right chemicals and other combinations specified by BIS under Ordinary Portland Cement IS 269:2015 Standard 43 Grade in India

Types of Quality Tests to Perform under BIS Certification 269:2015Standard

The list of applicable BIS Certificationquality tests must be performed in the following order listed below–

·??????? Physical Test to evaluate fineness, setting time of the cement, resistance quality, expansion due to internal stresses, durability, etc.

·??????? Compressive Strength of the cement to endure compressive load

·??????? Measures cement’s ability to withstand compressive loads meant for structural performance as

·??????? Organizing Chemical tests to determine the organic matter, volatile substance, in the presence of cement, affecting the material quality

·??????? Analyzing the chemical composition of cement for oxides like silica, alumina, iron oxide, lime, magnesia, and sulfate, etc. as per BIS CertificationStandard

?

Severe instances of Defying IS 269 Standard

·???????? False representation of cement grade adhering to high-quality standards without performing the IS 269:2015 Quality test

·???????? BIS have found traces of adulteration while manufacturing Portland Cements in India

·???????? Multiple instances of defying testing procedures mentioned by BIS to benchmark the quality of Ordinary Portland Cements in India

·???????? Multiple Instances of buildings collapsing after using inferior quality of Cement Standards raised queries on substandard cements used in real estate and the construction sector

?

Few Waysto Comply with BIS Certification Test on Ordinary Portland Cements

·??????? Conducting Raw material testing by adhering with BIS ISI Certification standard that mandates the addition of limestone, clay, and gypsum to assure uncompromised quality

·??????? Conducting ongoing lab tests to assure raw materials are free from inferior ingredients used to manufacture Portland Cement

·??????? Running Physical tests on various cement properties as mentioned under 43 Grade IS 269:2015 Ordinary Portland Cement

·??????? Checking whether chemical compositions are adhering with silica, alumina, iron oxide according to IS 269 Standard

·??????? Organizing routine visits to cement plant and verify the cement manufacturing practices are complying with BIS 269 Standard guidelines or not
