BIS certification for three new grades to safeguard consumer interest: Jindal Stainless
Jindal Stainless Ltd (JSL) on Tuesday said the BIS certification to three new stainless steel grades will safeguard consumer interest and promote public health and hygiene. BIS is the nodal body responsible for setting quality and certification standards for various products in India.
The body has certified grades, namely N5, N6 and N7, to be used exclusively in utensils and kitchenware applications, a segment where corrosion due to substandard quality material is a matter of concern for consumers.
«The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) has recently introduced three grades — N5, N6 and N7 — under the standard IS 15997, meant exclusively for stainless steel used in utensils and kitchenware applications,» JSL said in a statement.
It is an important decision for the welfare of the consumers as critical issues of health and hygiene are involved in food contact material, the company said, adding it is among the first few to apply for the certification for these grades.
