IS 1608 tensile testing of metals
IS 1608 tensile testing for BIS licensing, infrastructure and public-sector supply, with NABL-accredited reports accepted by third-party inspection agencies.
IS 1608
The Indian Standard for tensile testing of metallic materials, technically aligned with ISO 6892-1, called up in BIS certification and Indian infrastructure specifications.
Typical products. Reinforcement bars, structural sections, plates, wires, fasteners.
NABL accredited testing laboratory vide certificate no. TC-12060 (ISO/IEC 17025:2017). Lines below are in the scope of accreditation and are reported under the NABL symbol; tailored profiles and methods outside the scope can usually still be run and are reported as non-accredited.
