1 Importance of Standardization and Quality By Pawan Kumar Scientist-B BIS, New Delhi 1

2 Standardization or standardisation is the process of implementing and developing technical standards based on the consensus of different parties that include firms, users, interest groups, standards organizations and governments (Stakeholders). Standardization can help to maximize compatibility, interoperability, safety, repeatability and quality. 2

3 Standardization in India Organized standardization activity in India started with establishment of Indian Standards Institution (ISI) in Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) took over work of ISI through enactment of BIS Act (1986) by the Indian Parliament. 3

4 Objectives Harmonious development of activities of standardization, marking and quality certification To provide new thrust to standardization and quality control To evolve a national strategy for according recognition to standards and integrating them with growth and development of industrial production and exports 4

5 BIS Locations Jammu HQs Delhi 5 Regional Offices 33 Branch Offices in 28 locations (33 IN 28 PLACES) 8 Testing and Calibration centres 5 BIS

6 Quality Quality Guru Juran describes quality as fitness for use - meaning that customers or users of a product should be able to count on it for what they needed it for. Quality of conformance is the ability of a product, service, or process to meet its design specifications. 6

18 Fertigation

19 Fertigation is the injection of fertilizers, soil amendments, and other water-soluble products into an irrigation system. Fertigation is related to chemigation, the injection of chemicals into an irrigation system. A good fertigation system must be complimented with a good irrigation system.

20 Fertigation and Irrigation Techniques Farm Irrigation and Drainage Systems Sectional Committee, FAD 17 of Food and Agriculture Department of BIS deals with these subjects. Scope of FAD 17: Methods of evaluation and adoption of quality of irrigation water, efficiency of irrigation, water requirement of crops and guidelines for various practices associated with soil water management as well as various irrigation equipment and systems (excluding centrifugal and hand pumps), soil conservation practices. All types of farm drainage practices, design, material, drainage and sub surface drainage systems and equipment, all types of on farm water management practices including construction and improvement of water distribution systems, land levelling & all equipment &machinery dealing with command area development.

21 FAD 17 has formulated the following standards on fertigation techniques: 1) IS (Part 1) : 1997 Fertilizer and chemical injector system - Part 1 Venturi injector. 2) IS (Part 2) : 2002 Fertilizer and Chemical Injector System - Part 2 : Water- Driven Chemical Injector Pump. 3) FAD 17 (02583) Fertilizer and Chemical Injector System Part 3 Fertilizer Tank (Under print)

22 Scope of IS (Part 1) : 1997 This standard prescribes the requirements of Venturi Injectors used for injecting fertilizer and chemicals in the sprinkler and drip irrigation systems.

23 Venturi Injector operates on the principle that when a pressurized operating (motive) fluid enters the injector it is constricted towards the injection chamber and changes into a high velocity jet stream. The increase in velocity inside the injection chamber results in decrease in pressure, thereby enabling an additive liquid material to be drawn through the suction port and entrained into the motive stream.

24 Scope of IS (Part 2) : 2002 This standard specifies the construction and operational requirements and test methods for water driven chemical injector pumps. These injector pumps are intended to operate at water temperatures of up to 50 o C and with the types and concentrations of chemicals routinely applied in irrigation. This standard does not relate to back-flow prevention devices (which are not an integral part of an injector pump). This standard does not relate to venturi-principle injection devices to inject chemicals into an irrigation system.

25 Scope of FAD 17 (2583) Draft Standard This standard specifies the mechanical and functional requirements for fertilizer tanks used in irrigation systems, test methods and the data to be supplied by the manufacturer to permit correct installation and operation in the field. To specify the nominal sizes and classify different types of fertilizer tanks according to the techniques used. To specify technical requirements for the effective and efficient use of the equipment.

26 To specify health and safety aspects related to the equipment. To specify maintenance requirements to sustain the corrosive action of fertilizers To specify suitable test methods for evaluating the performance parameters of the equipment.

27 Standards for Irrigation System IS : 1989 Irrigation Equipment - Polyethylene Pipes for Irrigation Laterals IS : 1992 Irrigation Equipment Emitters IS : 2008 Irrigation Equipment -emitting Pipes System IS : 1997 Irrigation Equipment - Polyethylene Micro Tubes for Drip Irrigation

28 IS ( Part 1) : 1999 Irrigation Equipment - Sprinkler Pipes - Part 1 Polyethylene Pipes IS (Part 2) : 2008 Irrigation Equipment - Sprinkler Pipes : Part 2 Quick Coupled Polyethylene Pipes and fittings IS : 1998 Irrigation Equipment - Micro Sprayer 28

29 Procedure for obtaining BIS Certification Marks license The Product Certification Scheme of BIS aims at providing Third Party assurance of quality, safety and reliability of products to the customer. Presence of BIS certification mark, known as Standard Mark, on a product is an assurance of conformity to the specifications. The details for obtaining BIS license is given on BIS website, under the link For details the following links may be accessed : 29
