IS 1079:2017 Hot Rolled Carbon Steel Sheet, Plate and Strip - Specification

BIS IS 1079:2017: An Indian standard on the requirements of hot rolled carbon steel sheets, plates, and strip. It specifies essential criteria for chemical composition, for mechanical properties, and for testing which shall be made to ensure the quality of products. Manufacturers are required to adhere to this standard; otherwise, they cannot obtain BIS certification to enter into the Indian market. The purpose behind this is to establish confidence in the minds of customers by ensuring these materials pass stringent quality benchmarks.

IS 1079:2017 specifies the requirements for hot-rolled carbon steel sheets, plates, and strips, including their manufacturing processes, chemical composition, and mechanical properties. This standard ensures that these products meet essential quality and safety criteria for various industrial applications.

Application of BIS IS 1079:2017

• Auto Industry: It is used for body panels, chassis components as well as brackets and it is due to strength as well as good formability.
• Construction: It is required for structural beams, frames, and other important infrastructure elements which are supposed to be tough.
• General Fabrication: The material is used for generating a vast array of metal items, including shelves, cabinets, and machinery parts.
• Household Equipment: Used for outer covers and skins of household equipment such as refrigerators and washing machines.
• Agriculture Machinery: Used in components of farming machinery, which ensures reliability and ease of drawing.

• Material Specifications: Describes the chemical composition and mechanical properties to be possessed by hot rolled carbon steel sheets, plates, and strips such that the strength and durability requirements of the industry are fulfilled.
• Dimensional Tolerances: This describes the limits of the product's dimensions to ensure that the product is commercially fit for use directly in an application without causing trouble.
• Manufacturing Specifications: This provides details about manufacturing those materials, like control measures for maintaining consistency and reliability in the production process.
• Testing Emendations: These are obligated test methods such as tensile test, bend test, and cupping test to ascertain the mechanical properties and remove any defect.
• BIS Certification: BIS compliance for safety and quality, enhances the confidence of consumers in purchasing the products.

• Quality Assurance: The hot rolled carbon steel product is assured for stringent quality and safety standards, which ensures high reliability in the application.
• Access to Market: It provides entry to the Indian market as BIS certification is required in most of the cases for selling purposes.
• Consumer Confidence: The ISI mark on products provides confidence to the customer about the safety and quality of the respective product, and this leads to consumer loyalty towards the particular brand.
• Compliance to Laws: Facility producers to fulfil legal requirements for no-violation and smooth running.
• Competitive Advantage: For products, it provides subjective quality that can ensure higher sales and market shares than their equivalent non-certified counterparts.

Mandate of BIS IS 1079: 2017

BIS IS 1079: 2017 requires all the hot rolled carbon steel sheets, plates, and strips sold in India to have a certain quality and safety level. The producers have to obtain BIS certification or the ISI mark evidence for this. That way, it ensures dependability and performance in more industrial applications. The process of enforcement is overseen by the BIS through inspection and testing.

• BIS Certification Requirement: All the hot rolled carbon steel products sold require certification by BIS.
• Control Procedures on Quality: High-quality control procedures must be maintained with in-house testing facilities.
• BIS Factory inspections: BIS conducts periodical inspections of factories to ensure that the products being manufactured adhere to the standards set by IS 1079:2017.
• Documentation: The production, testing, and quality control records have to be maintained and updated as per the extent of traceability and accountability.
• Testing Requirements: Testing shall be done in BIS-approved labs under stringent conditions to meet the mechanical properties specified.
