Sir / Madam,
Subject: Issues relating to implementation of Ministry
of Steel’s Order S.O. 415(E) dated 12.03.2012 and Application of BIS Specification No. IS: 227. - reg.
References have been received in the Board raising concerns on the applicability
of the scope of BIS Specification No. IS: 227 issued by Ministry of Steel Order vide S.O. 415(E) dated 12.03.2012.
2. The same has
been examined in consultation with Ministry of Steel. Ministry of Steel has clarified as below: -
1. It is not appropriate that Indian
Standard IS: 277 covers Galvanized sheets only for roofing, panelling and lock
forming. It includes all Hot Dipped
Galvanized sheets/strips unless and otherwise something is specifically
excluded from Indian Standard and/or clarification is issued by BIS stating the
exclusion of particular product.
2.
Electro
Galvanized sheets and Galvanised sheets/strips fall outside the purview of IS:277 and hence such product whether in
prime or secondary/defective condition are not covered under the IS:277 or the
Quality Control Order issued by the Ministry of Steel.
3.
One of the
prime objective of the Steel and Steel Products Quality Control Order
is to restrict/prohibit production/sale/import of substandard material. Therefore, import of any substandard product
(Second/secondary/defective/offcut etc.) in respect of any of the product
covered in the Indian Standard covered under the Quality Control Order is not
permitted. Accordingly, import of seconds/secondary/defective/offcut Hot Dipped
Galvanized Steel sheets/coils are not permitted as per the Quality Control
Order. It is mainly because though the
material is similar to IS:277 in description, it fails to meet
the technical requirement prescribed in the standard. Further storage, sell, distribution of such
substandard product whether produced domestically or imported is prohibited in
domestic market.
3. Board
desires the aforementioned clarification should be complied with by field
formations. Suitable Public Notices or standing orders may be issued to guide
the trade/ Industry and officers.
4. Difficulties,
if any, faced in implementation of above provisions may be brought to the
notice of the Board, immediately.
Yours
faithfully,
(M.V.Vasudevan)
