IS 277:2018
Steel and Iron - Galvanized steel sheets ( plain and corrugated).
Summry
Galvanized steel sheets are steel sheets coated with a layer of zinc to protect them from corrosion and rust. Plain sheets are flat and smooth, while corrugated sheets have wavy patterns for added strength. They are widely used in roofing, cladding, fencing, and industrial construction.
Why BIS Certificate is Mandatory for Galvanized steel sheets ( plain and corrugated).?
BIS certification is mandatory to ensure galvanized steel sheets meet Indian standards for zinc coating, thickness, strength, and durability. It prevents the use of substandard materials that may corrode quickly or fail structurally. BIS certification protects consumers, ensures safety, and maintains uniform quality in construction materials.
What is BIS Certified for Galvanized steel sheets ( plain and corrugated). ?
TBIS certified galvanized steel sheets comply with IS 277 – Galvanized Steel Sheets (Plain and Corrugated). This standard specifies requirements for base metal quality, zinc coating mass, thickness, mechanical properties, surface finish, and testing methods. Compliance ensures corrosion resistance, strength, and suitability for structural and roofing applications.
