2 SCHEME OF TESTING AND INSPECTION FOR CERTIFICATION OF WHEELED FIRE EXTINGUISHERS PERFORMANCE AND CONSTRUCTION ACCORDING TO IS 16018: LABORATORY 1.1 A laboratory shall be maintained which shall be suitably equipped and staffed, where different tests given in the Specification shall be carried out in accordance with the methods given in the Indian Standard. 1.2 All test equipments shall be periodically checked, verified and calibrated and records of such checks/verification/calibration shall be maintained. 2. TEST RECORDS 2.1 All records of tests as per this Scheme of Testing and Inspection shall be kept in suitable forms. 2.2 Copies of any such records that may be required by BIS shall be made available at any time on request. 3. QUALITY CONTROL 3.1 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 (various parts)]. 3.2 In addition, effort should be made to gradually introduce a Quality Management System in accordance with IS/ISO STANDARD MARK 4.1 The Standard Mark, as given in Column (1) of the First Schedule of the Licence shall be marked/applied indelibly by stenciling /screen printing /transfix labels/engraving on each fire extinguisher, provided always that the fire extinguisher to which the Standard Mark is applied conforms to every requirement of the specification. mark is applied by engraving/punching, it shall be applied in such a manner that it does not impair the strength and dimensional requirements of the fire extinguisher. 5 MARKINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS 5.1 In addition to the Standard Mark, all other markings and instruction shall be as per clause 9 of IS 16018: The manuals shall be as per clause 10 of IS 16018:

3 6. LEVELS OF CONTROL 6.1 CONTROL UNIT For the purpose of this scheme, a control unit shall be taken as 50 (or part thereof) fire extinguishers of the same type/classification manufactured from same lot of material in one production schedule For Plastic components fabricated in house, a control unit may be taken as the quantity manufactured continuously on same machine using same source and consignment of raw material, with same mix of ingredients, if any used For Pressure gauges fabricated in house, a Control Unit may be taken as the quantity of Gauges and indicators received from same supplier / manufacturer, of same size, model, and material. 6.2 The tests as indicated in Table 1, and at the levels of control specified therein, shall be carried out on the whole production of the factory covered by this scheme and appropriate records maintained in accordance with clause 2 above and charts may be maintained as per clause 3 above. All the production which conforms to the Indian Standard and covered by this licence shall be marked with Standard Mark. 6.3 Wherever the raw material used is under the Mandatory Certification of BIS, the raw material shall be necessarily ISI marked and no required. Wherever the raw material used is not under the Mandatory Certification of BIS, no required if accompanied with the Test Certificate or ISI marked. 6.4 On the basis of the test results, decision regarding conformity or otherwise of the production shall be made. 6.5 When any sample fails in respect of a given requirement, the product from entire control unit may be suitably corrected and twice the number of samples shall be tested for all requirements again, and the control unit shall be accepted for certification marking only when the reprocessed product conforms to all the requirements. If further failure occurs in any of the requirements, the entire lot/control unit shall not be marked. 6.6 Records of such failure and reprocessing and retesting shall be maintained. 6.7 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 the product conforms to various requirements of the Specification. The Standard Mark (if already applied) on rejected material, shall be defaced. 7. REJECTIONS 7.1 A separate record shall be maintained giving information relating to the rejection of the production not conforming to the requirements of the Specification and the method of disposal. Such material shall in no case be stored together with that conforming to the Specification. 3

4 8. SAMPLES 8.1 The licensee shall supply, free of charge, the samples required in accordance with the Bureau of Indian Standards (Certification) Regulations, 1988, as amended from time to time, from the factory or godown. BIS may draw samples from the open market, if available. 9. REPLACEMENT 9.1 Whenever a complaint is received soon after the goods with Standard Mark have been purchased and used, and if there is adequate evidence that the goods have not been misused, defective goods shall be replaced free of cost by the licensee in case the complaint is found to be genuine and the warranty period (where applicable) has not expired. The final authority to judge the conformity of the product to the Indian Standard shall be with BIS. 9.2 In the event of any damage caused by the goods bearing the Standard Mark, or any claim being filed by the consumers against BIS Standard Mark and not conforming to the relevant Indian Standard, entire liability arising out of such nonconforming product shall be of the licensee and BIS shall not in any way be responsible in such cases. 10 STOP MARKING 10.1 The marking of the product shall be stopped under intimation to BIS 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 or due to any other reason. The marking may be resumed as soon as the defects are removed under intimation to BIS The marking of the product shall be stopped immediately if directed to do so by BIS for any reason. The marking may then be resumed only after permission by BIS. The information regarding resumption of marking shall also be sent to BIS. 11 PRODUCTION DATA The licensee shall send to BIS a statement of quantity produced, marked and exported by him and the value thereof at the end of each operative year of the licence as per the enclosed proforma which has to be authenticated by a Chartered Accountant. 4
