BIS Certification is mandatory for Copper strip for electrical purposes, as per the Indian standard IS 1897:2008. A copper strip, typically a flat, extended sheet with a rectangular shape, is manufactured by rolling or slitting copper sheets or coils to achieve the desired size. Known for their exceptional heat conductivity, corrosion resistance, electrical conductivity, and malleability, copper strips are highly sought after.

ISI Certification (BIS) is essential for COPPER STRIP FOR ELECTRICAL PURPOSES according to IS 1897:2008. This standard delineates the manufacturing, chemical, and physical requirements, as well as testing procedures, for Copper strips used for electrical purposes.

Copper strips are broadly classified into two main types: bare copper strips and enameled copper strips. They find application in various products such as water heaters, pipe fittings, copper foil, copper tape, and copper wire. Essential components in electrical and electronic systems, copper strips play a crucial role in ensuring effective power distribution, reliable electrical connections, and the safe operation of infrastructure and electrical equipment. Their exceptional electrical qualities, longevity, safety, and adaptability make them the preferred choice in industrial, commercial, and residential applications

Tests

The following are the major tests for Copper strip for electrical purposes:

  • Chemical composition
  • Freedom from defects
  • Tensile Strength and Elongation
  • Hardness
  • Bend test
  • Edgewise bending
  • Electrical resistivity test
  • Width and thickness
  • Radius of curvature on edges or corner of strip
  • Straightness
  • Test for controlled proof resistance (optional)

Under IS 1897:2008, all copper strips used for electrical applications fall under the mandatory ISI Certification Scheme. This standard outlines specifications for withdrawn or rolled edges (round or square) of copper strips in the annealed, half-hard, and hard states for use in electrical applications. Products lacking the ISI Mark cannot be legally marketed, imported, or exported into the Indian consumer market.
