Tin ingots are widely used in industries like electronics, automotive, and packaging due to their corrosion resistance and low melting point. To ensure product quality and standardization, the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) has introduced a specific certification under IS 26:2024 for tin ingots.

IS 26:2024 outlines the technical specifications, chemical composition, and physical properties that tin ingots must meet to be compliant. BIS certification ensures safety, consistency and reliability in both domestic and international markets.

Quality Control Order for Tin Ingot

The MINISTRY OF MINES has issued a Quality Control Order (QCO) making BIS certification mandatory for tin ingot manufacturers and importers. This Quality Control Order was published by the ministry after consulting with the Bureau of Indian Standards on date 17th April, 2025.

Short title and commencement:
(1) This Order may be called the Tin Ingot (Quality Control) Order, 2025.
(2) This Order shall come into force with effect from 6 months from the date of publication of this notification.

After the implementation date of Quality Control Order, no tin ingot can be manufactured, sold, imported or distributed in India without BIS approval. So all the manufacturers or importers of Tin Ingots have to obtain BIS certification to manufacture, import or sale in the Indian market.
