RAIPUR: Vedanta Aluminium becomes the "first company in the country’s aluminium industry to secure seven Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) certifications" for its extensive range of aluminium products after the newly certified 12 mm wire rods, produced at its Chhattisgarh-based Bharat Aluminium Company Limited (BALCO) facility in Korba district.
The certified 12 mm aluminium wire rods have diverse applications, primarily in electrical and power transmission, owing to their superior conductivity, lightweight nature, and sterling durability.
Alongside the new BIS certification of 12 mm wire rods, BIS has re-certified six additional product categories: EC Ingots, Alloy Ingots, Primary Ingots, Rolled Sheets, Rolled Conductor Plates, and Rolled Plates for general engineering purposes – all of which are produced at Balco.
The company boasts of acquiring an edge in the market with seven BIS certifications covering a total of 17 aluminium products.
The Bureau of Indian Standards applying rigorous assessment methodologies is the apex domestic body tasked with defining quality standards across industry sectors.
“At Vedanta Aluminium, our focus is to consistently deliver top-notch aluminium products that meet the highest standards. These BIS certifications reflect our rigorous quality control and advanced production techniques, enabling us to serve diverse industries and global customers with a diverse range of products that are designed to exceed industry standards”, said John Slaven, CEO, Vedanta Aluminium.
