i. Three samples preferably of minimum, intermediate and
maximum size (One from each grade, if applicable) from grades
intended to be covered under the licence shall be tested for all
the requirements of the specification.
ii. In case pipe of higher-steel grade is tested and found
conforming then lower grades may also be covered in the
licence.
iii. Subject to (i) & (ii) above, in case Galvanized pipes are
tested and found conforming then uncoated pipes may also be
covered in the scope of the licence. For coatings other than
galvanizing, samples may not be tested or included in licence
scope as they are to be supplied as agreed between manufacturer
and purchaser.

provisions of the Indian Standard, provided always that the product thus marked and packed conforms
to all the requirement of the specification.
4. CONTROL UNIT – For the purpose of this Scheme of Inspection & Testing, tubes of same size,
type & grade, manufactured from same material (Cast/Heat of steel) under identical conditions in a
day on each tube mill shall constitute one control unit.
5. LEVELS OF CONTROL - The tests as indicated in column 1 of Table 1 and the levels of control
in column 3 of Table 1, shall be carried out on the whole production of the factory which is covered
by this plan and appropriate records maintained in accordance with paragraph 2 above.
5.1 All the production which conforms to the Indian Standards and covered by the licence should be
marked with Standard Mark.
5.2. The steel to be used in production of steel tubes shall be manufactured as per Cl 6 and 8 of IS
3589:2001. Steel tubes shall be manufactured as per Cl 7 of IS 3589:2001 , as applicable.
6. TEST CERTIFICATE-For each consignment of BIS Certifie
d material conforming to
IS 3589:2001 there shall be a test certificate which shall contain the Standard Mark, the cast/Control
Unit number and the corresponding test results (as given in Annexure-I enclosed)
7. REJECTIONS – Disposal of non-conforming product shall be done in such a way so as to ensure
that there is no violation of provisions of BIS Act, 2016.
