What Is IS 3748?<\/h2>\n<p>IS 3748 is an Indian Standard associated with the specification of tool and die steels. It provides a technical basis for identifying suitable steel grades and evaluating the relevant product characteristics.<\/p>\n<p>The earlier edition, IS 3748:1990, was titled <em>Tool and Die Steels \u2013 Specification<\/em>. The revised IS 3748:2022 is titled <em>Tool Steels \u2013 Specification<\/em> and is an identical adoption of ISO 4957:2018. &lt;Cite refs={[&#8220;turn828557search22&#8243;,&#8221;turn828557search7&#8221;]}\/&gt;<\/p>\n<h3>Key standard details<\/h3>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th>Particular<\/th>\n<th>Details<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Product category<\/td>\n<td>Tool and die steels \/ tool steels<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Earlier Indian Standard<\/td>\n<td>IS 3748:1990<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Revised Indian Standard<\/td>\n<td>IS 3748:2022<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Current technical title<\/td>\n<td>Tool Steels \u2013 Specification<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Revision<\/td>\n<td>Third revision of IS 3748<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Standard adopted<\/td>\n<td>ISO 4957:2018<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Certification authority<\/td>\n<td>Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Certification route<\/td>\n<td>Subject to the applicable QCO and BIS requirements<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><strong>Important:<\/strong> IS 3748:1990 remains relevant when researching older licences, product manuals and regulatory references.

Types of Tool Steels Covered Under IS 3748:2022<\/h2>\n<p>The revised standard covers several categories of wrought tool steels. The relevant category and grade depend on the intended application, operating conditions and required properties.<\/p>\n<h3>Non-alloy cold-work tool steels<\/h3>\n<p>These steels are used in suitable cold-working applications, where the material is processed without the high operating temperatures associated with hot-working tools.<\/p>\n<p>Typical applications may include selected cutting and forming tools, subject to the grade&#8217;s specified properties.<\/p>\n<h3>Alloy cold-work tool steels<\/h3>\n<p>Alloy cold-work tool steels are used for tooling applications requiring appropriate hardness, wear resistance and dimensional stability.<\/p>\n<p>Potential applications include punches, dies, forming tools and other industrial tooling.<\/p>\n<h3>Alloy hot-work tool steels<\/h3>\n<p>Hot-work tool steels are selected for applications involving elevated temperatures and repeated thermal or mechanical stresses.<\/p>\n<p>They may be used in suitable hot-forming, forging and die applications, depending on the grade and its specified characteristics.<\/p>\n<h3>High-speed tool steels<\/h3>\n<p>High-speed tool steels are used in suitable cutting applications where the required cutting performance and resistance to heat and wear are important.<\/p>\n<p>The revised IS 3748:2022 consolidates these categories within its scope. The suitability of any particular grade must be assessed against the applicable standard and intended use. &lt;Cite refs={[&#8220;turn828557search22&#8243;,&#8221;turn828557search24&#8221;]}\/&gt;<\/p>\n<h2>3.

Is BIS Certification Mandatory for Tool and Die Steels in India?<\/h2>\n<p>This is one of the most important questions for manufacturers and importers.<\/p>\n<p>BIS certification is generally voluntary unless the Central Government makes certification compulsory for a product through a relevant legal order, such as a Quality Control Order. Where compulsory certification applies, the applicable requirements must be followed before the product is manufactured, imported, sold or distributed in the circumstances covered by that order. &lt;Cite refs={[&#8220;turn828557search2&#8243;,&#8221;turn828557search4&#8221;]}\/&gt;<\/p>\n<p>Historically, the Steel and Steel Products (Quality Control) Order included IS 3748:1990. The Ministry of Steel issued an extension order dated 31 July 2021 specifying 23 January 2022 as the revised enforcement date for that older reference. &lt;Cite refs={[&#8220;turn943981search13&#8243;,&#8221;turn943981search17&#8221;]}\/&gt;<\/p>\n<p>Subsequent QCO amendments must also be considered. The Ministry of Steel&#8217;s 2025 amendment deferred the operation of specified schedule entries, including entries within serial numbers 116\u2013125, for three years from publication. The applicable entry and its product description must be checked against the underlying schedule before determining whether the deferral applies to a particular product. &lt;Cite refs={[&#8220;turn943981search16&#8221;]}\/&gt;<\/p>\n<p>The BIS Scheme-I listing continues to display IS 3748:1990, while the BIS standards portal identifies IS 3748:2022 as the revised technical standard. These references demonstrate why manufacturers should distinguish the technical revision from the legal applicability of a QCO. &lt;Cite refs={[&#8220;turn828557search5&#8243;,&#8221;turn828557search7&#8221;]}\/&gt;<\/p>\n<h3>What should manufacturers verify?<\/h3>\n<p>Before taking a compliance decision, check:<\/p>\n<ol start=\"1\">\n<li>The latest Steel and Steel Products QCO and amendments.<\/li>\n<li>The exact schedule entry applicable to the product.<\/li>\n<li>The standard number, edition and product description in that entry.<\/li>\n<li>Any enforcement deferral, exemption or special condition.<\/li>\n<li>The applicable BIS certification scheme and current application requirements.<\/li>\n<li>The product&#8217;s grade, form and relevant tariff classification, where required.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>Regulatory caution:<\/strong> Do not assume that IS 3748:2022 is automatically covered by every older QCO reference to IS 3748:1990, or that the old standard&#8217;s historical enforcement date alone establishes the present legal position. Confirm the applicable position using the latest official documents.<\/p>\n<h2>5. BIS Certification Process for Tool and Die Steels<\/h2>\n<p>Where BIS certification is applicable, the manufacturer should establish the correct product scope and prepare the necessary technical and quality documentation.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 1: Product and standard identification<\/h3>\n<p>Identify the exact product, steel designation, manufacturing process, product form, size range and supply condition.<\/p>\n<p>Confirm whether the technical assessment should be based on IS 3748:2022 or another applicable specification. Also verify the relevant QCO requirements.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 2: Review the manufacturing facility<\/h3>\n<p>Review the manufacturing and quality-control arrangements relevant to the proposed product scope.<\/p>\n<p>Depending on the manufacturer&#8217;s operations, this may include steelmaking or sourcing arrangements, rolling or forging, heat treatment, finishing, inspection and final product control.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 3: Prepare the application documents<\/h3>\n<p>Compile the relevant company, manufacturing, product and quality-control information required under the applicable BIS scheme.<\/p>\n<p>The exact checklist should be confirmed from the current application procedure and product manual.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 4: Product testing<\/h3>\n<p>Identify the applicable test requirements and arrange testing in accordance with the standard and BIS process.<\/p>\n<p>Testing arrangements should take account of the product grade, manufacturing route, heat-treatment condition, dimensions and proposed licence scope.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 5: Application submission<\/h3>\n<p>Submit the applicable application and supporting documents through the prescribed BIS process.<\/p>\n<p>The application should accurately describe the products and grades for which certification is being sought.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 6: Assessment and corrective action<\/h3>\n<p>Where required, the application may involve factory assessment, inspection, sampling, testing or clarification.<\/p>\n<p>Any identified deficiencies should be addressed with appropriate corrective action and supporting evidence.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 7: Grant of licence and continuing compliance<\/h3>\n<p>BIS may grant a licence when the applicable requirements are satisfied.<\/p>\n<p>After grant, the manufacturer must follow the applicable marking, inspection, testing, recordkeeping, renewal and other licence conditions.<\/p>\n<p>The precise process depends on the current certification scheme and product-specific requirements; a consultancy cannot guarantee licence approval or a fixed processing timeline.<\/p>\n<h2>6. Testing Requirements for Tool and Die Steels<\/h2>\n<p>Testing is an important part of assessing conformity with the applicable tool steel specification.<\/p>\n<p>The exact tests depend on the grade, product form, dimensions, manufacturing route, heat-treatment condition and relevant standard clauses.<\/p>\n<p>Potential areas of evaluation include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Chemical composition:<\/strong> Verification of specified alloying and other chemical elements.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Designation and classification:<\/strong> Confirmation that the product designation matches the relevant grade.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Heat-treatment condition:<\/strong> Verification of the applicable supply condition.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Surface quality:<\/strong> Assessment of the product&#8217;s surface condition against the applicable requirements.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Shape, dimensions and tolerances:<\/strong> Verification of relevant dimensional characteristics.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Hardness and other specified properties:<\/strong> Testing where required by the relevant grade and standard.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Additional or non-destructive testing:<\/strong> Where applicable under the standard, product scope or relevant requirements.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The current BIS LIMS records include testing information for IS 3748:2022, including chemical composition, product designation, heat-treatment condition, surface quality and dimensions.
