Low pressure LPG regulators are important safety components used to control and reduce LPG pressure before the gas reaches connected appliances. A regulator must maintain suitable outlet pressure, provide reliable sealing and withstand mechanical, thermal and pressure conditions without creating unsafe leakage or malfunction.<\/p>\n
For Low Pressure Regulators for Use with Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG)<\/strong>, the current BIS certification reference is IS 9798:2013<\/strong>. The current BIS Product Manual is PM\/IS 9798\/1\/April 2020<\/strong>, and it is specifically intended for certification under Scheme-I<\/strong>. The manual records two amendments<\/strong> to IS 9798:2013.<\/p>\n The current BIS Scheme-I page continues to list IS 9798 \u2013 Low pressure regulators for use with liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) mixtures<\/strong> among products under the ISI Mark framework.<\/p>\n Qualitance India provides complete BIS Certification consultancy for Low Pressure LPG Regulators<\/strong>, including standard and product-scope assessment, documentation, testing coordination, PESO-approved drawing support, factory inspection preparation, BIS application filing, compliance support and BIS licence processing.<\/p>\n IS 9798:2013<\/strong> covers:<\/p>\n Low Pressure Regulators for Use with Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG)<\/strong><\/p>\n The standard specifies requirements for low-pressure single-stage and two-stage regulators<\/strong> intended for LPG mixtures in the vapour phase. The regulator scope is associated with outlet pressure up to approximately 4.903 kN\/m\u00b2<\/strong>, equivalent to 50 gf\/cm\u00b2 or 500 mm water column<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The BIS Product Manual identifies the licence scope using:<\/p>\n Yes. Low pressure regulators for use with LPG mixtures are included in the mandatory BIS certification framework.<\/p>\n The current BIS Scheme-I listing includes IS 9798, while QCO references identify the product under the Ministry of Commerce and Industry framework with an implementation date of 22 November 2016<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Manufacturers should obtain and maintain the applicable BIS certification before placing regulated production into the market, subject to the exact scope and regulatory provisions applicable to the product.<\/p>\n For current certification work, the important references are:<\/p>\n Indian Standard:<\/strong> IS 9798:2013 The Product Manual identifies the following key scope characteristics.<\/p>\n These regulators reduce LPG pressure through a single regulation stage.<\/p>\n These regulators perform pressure reduction through two stages.<\/p>\n The licence scope can identify:<\/p>\n The exact inlet diameter forms part of the licence scope.<\/p>\n The Product Manual specifically provides for inclusion of the PESO-approved drawing number and approval number<\/strong> in the scope.<\/p>\n Therefore, manufacturers should finalize the regulator design and applicable statutory approvals before certification planning.<\/p>\n LPG regulators are directly associated with gas pressure control. A failure involving leakage, incorrect outlet pressure, weak connections, diaphragm deterioration or unsafe valve operation can create significant safety risks.<\/p>\n BIS certification provides a structured conformity-assessment framework covering:<\/p>\n The current Product Manual includes extensive testing provisions covering these areas.<\/p>\n The current Product Manual specifies the following sample requirements:<\/p>\n This makes sample planning an important part of the certification process.<\/p>\n The Product Manual identifies material requirements for different regulator components.<\/p>\n These include:<\/p>\n The inspection scheme permits certain incoming-material controls through supplier test certificates, subject to cross-checking provisions. For example, where suitable material test certificates are available, additional routine testing may not always be necessary; the Product Manual also specifies periodic cross-checking arrangements.<\/p>\n Depending on design, a regulator may include:<\/p>\n Every component that affects safety or performance must comply with the applicable requirements.<\/p>\n A typical manufacturing process may include:<\/p>\n Raw Material Inspection \u2192 Die Casting\/Forging\/Machining \u2192 Component Inspection \u2192 Rubber Component Preparation \u2192 Diaphragm Preparation \u2192 Surface Treatment\/Finishing \u2192 Assembly \u2192 Spring\/Valve Installation \u2192 Sealing \u2192 Dimensional Inspection \u2192 Leak Testing \u2192 Pressure Testing \u2192 Performance Testing \u2192 Final Inspection \u2192 Serial Number Marking \u2192 BIS Marking \u2192 Packing<\/strong><\/p>\n The exact sequence depends on the regulator design and manufacturing technology.<\/p>\n IS 9798:2013 contains extensive testing requirements.<\/p>\n Construction and workmanship are checked using dimensional and visual inspection.<\/p>\n The Product Manual identifies equipment such as:<\/p>\n Construction is also subject to routine checking on each regulator.<\/p>\n Sealing is a critical requirement because LPG leakage must be prevented.<\/p>\n The Product Manual specifies sealing inspection on each regulator<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Connections must withstand the applicable mechanical loading.<\/p>\n Equipment identified includes:<\/p>\n The regulator is tested at 65\u00b0C<\/strong> under the applicable high-temperature requirements.<\/p>\n An oven suitable for high-temperature and ageing testing is identified in the Product Manual.<\/p>\n Low-temperature performance is tested at \u221220\u00b0C<\/strong>.<\/p>\n A suitable deep freezer is specified for this testing.<\/p>\n Rubber components are subjected to immersion testing using N-pentane<\/strong> under the applicable method.<\/p>\n The Product Manual identifies appropriate immersion-test equipment and leak-proof containers.<\/p>\n Rubber components are tested for ageing and hardness.<\/p>\n The applicable test uses an oven and a Shore hardness tester.<\/p>\n Compression characteristics of rubber components are tested using the relevant fixture and test arrangement.<\/p>\n The Product Manual identifies compression-set testing for rubber components.<\/p>\n Diaphragm clamping performance is checked under the applicable provisions.<\/p>\n This test is used to assess the strength of specified diaphragm-related construction.<\/p>\n The Product Manual specifies a daily sample frequency based on regulators assembled in a day.<\/p>\n Flexibility of specified diaphragm components is tested according to the applicable requirements.<\/p>\n Hydrostatic pressure testing is part of the regulator conformity programme.<\/p>\n The Product Manual requires 3 pieces from each control unit<\/strong> for the hydrostatic test.<\/p>\n Body leakage testing is an important safety test.<\/p>\n The Product Manual identifies a dedicated body leakage test bench and requires specified testing of the finished regulator body.<\/p>\n The regulator is subjected to soundness testing using a suitable test bench and pressure gauges.<\/p>\n Pneumatic testing is performed to verify pressure integrity and leak-proof performance.<\/p>\n The Product Manual requires pneumatic testing on each regulator<\/strong> under the stated provisions.<\/p>\n The inlet connection is checked for interchangeability and leak-proof performance.<\/p>\n The Product Manual specifies sampling at 0.25% subject to a minimum of 8 regulators from the regulators assembled in a day<\/strong> for the applicable test.<\/p>\n Both non-threaded and threaded outlet connections have applicable requirements.<\/p>\n The Product Manual specifies:<\/p>\n The vent arrangement is checked on each regulator under the prescribed routine testing programme.<\/p>\n Where the regulator incorporates an excess-flow valve, the applicable functionality is tested.<\/p>\n The Product Manual specifies periodic testing and identifies a three-piece sample per control unit under the stated provisions.<\/p>\n Performance testing verifies that the regulator provides the required pressure behaviour under defined operating conditions.<\/p>\n Chatter testing checks regulator stability and unwanted oscillation.<\/p>\n The Product Manual specifies chatter and performance testing on each regulator<\/strong> in the lot inspection programme.<\/p>\n The BIS test certificate format in the Product Manual records important performance criteria.<\/p>\n For example, the listed test conditions include:<\/p>\n These values are included in the Product Manual’s example test-certificate format and should be applied in accordance with the current standard and approved product design.<\/p>\n Cycle testing evaluates the regulator’s performance after repeated operation.<\/p>\n The Product Manual identifies:<\/p>\n 4 pieces once in 6 months<\/strong>, with the test also required during type approval or whenever there is a change in design.<\/p>\n The Product Manual specifies:<\/p>\n Low-temperature test:<\/strong> 4 pieces weekly<\/p>\n High-temperature test:<\/strong> 4 pieces weekly<\/p>\n These periodic tests form an important part of continued quality control.<\/p>\n The Product Manual specifies an extensive list of test equipment.<\/p>\n Important facilities include:<\/p>\n The Product Manual also contains numerous plug, snap, slot, ring and special gauges for detailed dimensional inspection.<\/p>\n The Product Manual requires a suitably equipped and staffed laboratory for the prescribed testing programme.<\/p>\n The manufacturer must also:<\/p>\n An important requirement of the Product Manual is that all units manufacturing and supplying regulators shall obtain and hold valid Quality Management System certification according to IS\/ISO 9001 from BIS<\/strong> to ensure consistent control throughout the manufacturing process.<\/p>\n This makes quality-management-system preparation an important part of BIS certification for this product.<\/p>\n Unlike some products where multiple sizes can be covered under a broad grouping rule, the IS 9798 Product Manual states:<\/p>\n Each variety of regulator shall be tested for GoL\/CSoL.<\/strong><\/p>\n Therefore, the manufacturer should carefully define:<\/p>\n Incorrect scope planning can result in additional testing and delays.<\/p>\n The Product Manual defines a control unit as:<\/p>\n A lot of regulators of the same type and size manufactured in a day from body and cover cast in a day from material of the same consignment\/supplier under similar production conditions.<\/strong><\/p>\n The manual allows body and cover to be cast on different days provided both are produced from the same material consignment<\/strong>.<\/p>\n This definition is important for production traceability and testing.<\/p>\n For lot inspection, regulators of the same size made from the same material consignment under similar production conditions are grouped into a lot.<\/p>\n The Product Manual gives the following sample sizes:<\/p>\n The selected regulators are subjected to the specified construction\/workmanship, interchangeability, pneumatic, performance and chatter tests.<\/p>\n The Product Manual contains an unusually important control:<\/p>\n Each control unit of finished regulators is to be offered for inspection to BIS before dispatch.<\/strong><\/p>\n Regulators that fail the applicable requirements must not be marked with the BIS Standard Mark.<\/p>\n This makes production planning, final inspection and recordkeeping especially important for manufacturers.<\/p>\n At prototype approval, the regulator must be checked for conformity to all applicable requirements of IS 9798:2013.<\/p>\n When there is a change in material or design<\/strong>, the regulator must be retested and again conform to the specification.<\/p>\n The Product Manual also requires a drawing showing outline dimensions and materials of construction to be supplied along with prototypes.<\/p>\n The BIS licence scope specifically includes:<\/p>\n PESO-approved drawing number and approval number.<\/strong><\/p>\n Therefore, manufacturers should not treat the BIS process and statutory LPG equipment approvals as entirely separate technical matters.<\/p>\n The approved drawing should accurately represent:<\/p>\n Any material or design change may trigger retesting requirements.<\/p>\n In addition to the applicable requirements of IS 9798:2013, the Product Manual requires:<\/p>\n Each regulator to be marked with a Serial Number.<\/strong><\/p>\n The location and size of the licence number<\/strong> on the regulator must be according to the approved drawing.<\/p>\n Only conforming regulators covered by the BIS licence should bear the Standard Mark.<\/p>\n The Product Manual states that rejected\/non-conforming regulators must be disposed of so that the provisions of the BIS Act, 2016 are not violated.<\/p>\n The specified rejected product is to be:<\/p>\n Deshaped \/ Scrapped off beyond use.<\/strong><\/p>\n This requirement should be incorporated into the manufacturer’s rejection-control procedure.<\/p>\n The typical certification process is:<\/p>\n Product Identification \u2192 IS 9798 Applicability \u2192 Design & Scope Review \u2192 PESO Drawing\/Approval Review \u2192 Factory Assessment \u2192 Documentation \u2192 Sample Preparation \u2192 Product Testing \u2192 BIS Application \u2192 Factory Inspection \u2192 Compliance \u2192 BIS Licence \u2192 Standard Marking \u2192 Ongoing Inspection & Compliance<\/strong><\/p>\n Because this is a safety-critical product with extensive testing and inspection requirements, factory preparedness should be completed before the certification application is filed.<\/p>\n Common documents may include:<\/p>\n The exact application checklist must be finalized against the current BIS requirements and the manufacturer’s specific design.<\/p>\n Before BIS assessment, the factory should be prepared with:<\/p>\n Qualitance India assists manufacturers with factory-readiness review before the applicable BIS inspection.<\/p>\n The Product Manual establishes multiple frequencies.<\/p>\n Examples include:<\/p>\n Each regulator:<\/strong> Construction, sealing, pneumatic testing and performance\/chatter-related checks under applicable provisions.<\/p>\n Each control unit:<\/strong> Hydrostatic test and specified connection\/excess-flow checks.<\/p>\n Weekly:<\/strong> Low-temperature and high-temperature tests, plus corrosion resistance where specified.<\/p>\n Monthly:<\/strong> Excess-flow valve testing under applicable provisions.<\/p>\n Six-monthly:<\/strong> Valve-pad fitting, strength of connection and cycle testing, with testing also required during type approval or after design changes.<\/p>\n Each consignment:<\/strong> Several material and rubber-component tests.<\/p>\n The actual frequency must be followed as prescribed in the active BIS Scheme of Inspection and Testing.<\/p>\n The total cost depends on:<\/p>\n For this product, laboratory infrastructure can be a significant investment because the Product Manual lists a large number of specialized test facilities.<\/p>\n Current BIS LIMS listings show an active testing scope for IS 9798:2013 \u2013 Low pressure regulators for use with liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) \u2013 Specification (Second Revision)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n One current BIS LIMS listing displays a total testing amount of \u20b915,500 excluding taxes<\/strong> for the listed scope, while another current LIMS record shows the standard with a displayed breakup that includes numerous individual test charges.<\/p>\n Testing charges can change according to:<\/p>\n Therefore, the latest BIS LIMS quotation should be confirmed before sample submission.<\/p>\n There is no single reliable timeline for every LPG regulator application because the process depends on:<\/p>\n For a safety-critical product with extensive testing, manufacturers should plan the project well before the required market or tender date.<\/p>\n Single-stage and two-stage regulators or different inlet\/end-connection configurations may require separate consideration.<\/p>\n The physical product must correspond to the approved drawing.<\/p>\n Missing approval information can affect the licence scope.<\/p>\n Body, cover, brass and rubber-component materials must satisfy the applicable requirements.<\/p>\n Leakage can result in corrective action and re-testing.<\/p>\n Incorrect outlet pressure behaviour can prevent conformity.<\/p>\n Diaphragm or valve-pad ageing, compression or immersion failures can affect certification.<\/p>\n Inadequate performance at low or high temperatures can create certification problems.<\/p>\n Missing or expired calibration records can affect factory assessment.<\/p>\n The Product Manual specifically requires valid BIS certification of the quality management system according to IS\/ISO 9001.<\/p>\n The serial number and licence-number marking must be correctly implemented according to the approved drawing.<\/p>\n The certification requirements are relevant to manufacturers producing regulated low-pressure LPG regulators for the Indian market.<\/p>\n This may include:<\/p>\n Importers and traders should separately verify their legal responsibilities and applicable regulatory provisions.<\/p>\n Domestic LPG regulators generally use a low-pressure configuration designed to control LPG supply to household appliances.<\/p>\n The regulator may incorporate:<\/p>\n The exact configuration must conform to the applicable standard and approved product drawing.<\/p>\n The certification process covers pressure, leakage, performance, mechanical and environmental requirements.<\/p>\n BIS certification is required for the regulated product under the applicable certification framework.<\/p>\n BIS certification provides assurance that the licensed product is being manufactured under controlled conformity requirements.<\/p>\n A valid BIS licence supports procurement where conformity to IS 9798 is required.<\/p>\n Regular testing and inspection help maintain consistent product quality.<\/p>\n Certification can improve acceptance among

Because regulator failure can involve leakage, pressure instability or mechanical malfunction, the applicable product requirements cover a wide range of material, construction, pressure, performance, environmental and component tests.<\/p>\n The current BIS certification reference is IS 9798:2013<\/strong>, supported by Product Manual PM\/IS 9798\/1\/April 2020<\/strong> under Scheme-I<\/strong>. The manual requires careful control of regulator design, materials, rubber components, connections, pressure integrity, temperature performance, performance characteristics, production testing and marking.<\/p>\n An especially important feature is that the licence scope identifies single\/two-stage type, inlet diameter, end connection and PESO-approved drawing\/approval details<\/strong>, while each regulator variety is subject to the applicable GoL\/CSoL testing provisions.<\/p>\n For manufacturers, successful BIS certification therefore requires much more than submitting samples to a laboratory. The factory must be equipped for the required testing and production controls, the quality management system must be properly established, the product drawing and actual product must remain aligned, and the prescribed inspection and testing system must be implemented.<\/p>\n Qualitance India provides end-to-end BIS Certification consultancy for Low Pressure LPG Regulators<\/strong>, covering product assessment, scope planning, documentation, testing coordination, PESO drawing-related support, factory preparation, BIS application, inspection assistance, licence processing and continuing compliance.<\/p>\n Need BIS Certification for Low Pressure LPG Regulators as per IS 9798:2013?
