Product Manual for Aluminium Conductors for
Overhead Transmission Purposes - Aluminium
Stranded Conductors as per IS 398(Pt.1): 1996
Approved by:
Foreword
BIS has published Indian Standards for “Aluminium Conductors for Overhead Transmission
Purposes” in various parts which are used for transmission of Electrical Energy covering
different types of conductors. Part 1 of the Indian Standard is for Aluminium Stranded
Conductors generally referred as “All Aluminium Conductor - AAC”.
This Standard was originally published in 1953.The First licence to use
Mark was
granted by BIS (earlier ISI) was as per this Standard. Now this standard is equivalent to
International Standard IEC 60889: 1987.
Different procedures are being adopted by BIS regional and branch offices. Sometimes the
scope of the product in BIS licence was also found given differently. Therefore, it was felt
necessary to prepare Product Certification manual for certification of Aluminium Conductors
for Overhead Transmission Purposes - Aluminium Stranded Conductors for uniform
procedures throughout BIS. This manual also aims to bring all the guidelines issued by CMD
from time to time at one place.
Guidelines for Grant of BIS Certification Marks Licence to use
Mark for an applicant is
also given in this manual. Grouping guidelines, sample size for testing, information about
laboratories where the product can be tested for the purpose of Grant of Licence, Inclusion,
etc., are described in the manual for the convenience of applicants as well as existing
licensees. Efforts have been made to provide applicable Scheme of Testing and Inspection
(STI), type & routine tests, marking fee, typical forms of test report.
Amendment No.01 APRIL 1999 has been issued and implemented for IS 398(Pt.1): 1996
Suggestions for any improvement in the manual may be sent to CMD for consideration.
BIS Standard Mark for the Product is as follows:

SCHEME OF TESTING AND INSPECTION
FOR CERTIFICATION OF
ALUMINIUM CONDUCTORS FOR OVERHEAD
TRANSMISSION PURPOSES
ACCORDING TO IS 398 (Part 1):1996 (Third Revision)
1. LABORATORY: A laboratory shall be maintained, which shall be suitably equipped and
staffed, where different tests shall be carried out in accordance with the methods given in the
specification.
1.1 All inspection, measuring and test equipments shall be periodically calibrated at least
every year and records of such calibrations shall be maintained.
2. TEST RECORDS: All records of tests and inspections shall be kept in suitable forms
approved by BIS.
2.1 Copies of any records or charts that may be required by BIS shall be made available at
any time on request.
3.0 QUALITY CONTROL: It is recommended that as far as possible, Statistical Quality
Control (SQC) methods may be used for controlling the quality of the product during
production as envisaged in this Scheme (See IS:397 (Part I):1972, IS:397 (Part 2):1985 and
IS:397 (Part 3):1980).
3.1 In addition, effort should be made to gradually introduce a Quality Management System
in accordance with the Quality System Modules as per IS/ISO 9001 or IS/ISO 9002 or IS/ISO
9003 as appropriate to the activities of the organization.
4.0 The manufacturer’s label attached to each coil of conductor as also each real or drum on
which conductor is coiled shall carry the standard mark as given in column 1 of the First
Schedule of the license, provided always that the conductor to which this Mark is thus
applied conforms to every requirement of the specification.
5.1 MARKING: In addition, the drum/labels shall contain the following information:
a)
b)
c)
d)
e)
Manufacturer’s Name and/or his recognized trade mark, if any;
Size of conductor;
Length of conductor;
Drum number or identification in code or otherwise to enable the date and
lot of manufacture to be traced back to factory records;
‘Made in India’, if required.

5.2 The standard Mark shall be applied in such a manner that as far as possible, the empty
reels do not retain the Standard Mark intact, as otherwise these might be fraudulently used by
any person so as to deceive that his product coiled on the reels carried the Standard Mark and
thus conforms to the specification.
6. LEVELS OF CONTROL: The tests and inspection, as indicated in Table 1 attached and
at the levels of control specified therein, shall be carried out on whole production of the
factory covered by the license and appropriate records and charts maintained in accordance
with paragraph 2 above. On the basis of test results decision regarding conformity or
otherwise of the control unit shall be taken. All the production which conforms to the Indian
Standard and covered by the license shall be marked with Certification Mark of the Bureau.
6.1 On the basis of test and inspection results, decision regarding conformity or otherwise of
the lot as a whole with the requirements of the specification shall be made as follows:
6.1.1 Each of the samples taken for test shall satisfy the requirements of the specification for
acceptance of each coil.
6.2 In respect of all other clauses of the specification and at all stages of manufacture, the
factory shall maintain appropriate control and checks to ensure that their product conform to
various requirements of the specification.
6.3 In case any failure is observed, the future production of that particular type shall not be
marked until the results of further tests on that type indicate conformity with the requirements
of the specification.
7.0 REJECTIONS: A separate record shall be maintained giving information relating to the
rejection of conductors which do not conform to the specification and of the method of their
disposal. Such conductors shall, in no case be stored together with those conforming to the
specification.
8.0 SAMPLES: The licensee shall supply, free of charge, the samples required in accordance
with the Bureau of Indian Standards (Certification) Regulations, 1988, as subsequently
amended from the factory or godowns. The samples so supplied would be returned to the
licensee after the tests have been carried out. The transport charges shall be borne by the
licensee. The Bureau shall pay for the samples taken by it from the open market.
9.0 REPLACEMENT: Whenever a complaint is received soon after the goods with Standard
Marks have been purchased and used, and if there is adequate evidence that the goods have
not been misused, defective goods or their components shall be replaced free by the licensee
in case the complaint’s is proved to be genuine and the warranty period (where applicable)
has not expired. The final authority to judge conformity of the product to the Indian Standard
shall be with the Bureau.

9.1 In the event of any damages caused by the goods bearing the Standard Mark, or claim
being filed by the consumers against BIS Standard Mark and not ‘conforming to’ the relevant
Indian Standard, entire liability arising out of such non conforming product shall be of
licensee and BIS shall not in any way be responsible in such cases.
10.0 STOP MARKING: The marking of the product shall be stopped under intimation to the
Bureau if, at any time, there is some difficulty in maintaining the conformity of their product
to the specification, or the testing equipment goes out of order. The marking may be resumed
as soon as the defects are removed under intimation to Bureau. The information regarding
resumption of markings shall also be sent to the Bureau.
11.0 PRODUCTION DATA: The licensee shall maintain production data as per enclosed
proforma-1, which may be authenticated by a Chartered Accountant or by the licensee by
giving affidavit 7 (which may be required along with renewal application). The licensee shall
sent to the Bureau as per the enclosed, proforma-1 exported by him and the trade value
thereof during the half year ending 30 June and 31 December. This statement is required to
be forwarded to the Bureau on or before 31st day of July and January for the preceding half
year.
