IS 13468: Materials of Construction - Key Details

Table 1: Materials of Construction for Equipment Parts

Specifications & Notes:

• Case Hardening Steel: Ensures wear resistance, especially for cutter tips.
• Tip Hardness: Minimum 40 HRC for cutting edges.
• Dimensions and tolerances follow IS 2102 (Part 1): 1980 (medium class).
• Mild steel tubes per IS 1239 (Part 1): 1990 for tubular parts.
• Steel billets, blooms, slabs, and bars comply with IS 1875: 1978.

Summary:

• Use case hardening steel for wear-critical parts (cutter, dolly).
• Use mild steel tubes for handles.
• Follow dimensional tolerances as per IS standards referenced.

IS 13468 - Marking: Key Specifications

Clause 5.1 - Marking Requirements

Each equipment must be clearly and indelibly marked with:

• a) Manufacturer’s name or registered trademark or both.
• b) Serial number of the product.

Clause 5.1.1 - Standard Mark

• Equipment may also carry the Standard Mark as per BIS regulations.
• The Standard Mark assures compliance with IS standards, quality control, and ongoing BIS inspection.

Table 1 - Materials of Construction

Notes on Marking:

• Marking must be durable and legible throughout the product life.
• Use of Standard Mark is governed by BIS Act 1986 and related rules.
