ADDITIONAL GUIDELINES
FOR MANUFACTURERS WHO INTEND TO OUTSOURCE
POST BLACK PIPE OPERATIONS
1. The post black pipe operation could be galvanizing.
Action by licensees
i. The licensee intending to outsource post black pipe operation shall outsource these operations only to
a manufacturer holding a valid BIS licence for IS 1161:2014.
ii. For the purpose of these guidelines, the licensee which is outsourcing the post black pipe
operation shall be called Licensee A and the licensee to whom the operation is being outsourced,
shall be licensee B.
iii. Black pipes shall be dispatched by the licensee A for post black pipe operations to the licensee B,
control unit wise. Both the licensee A and B shall maintain records for post black pipe operations as
per frequency stipulated in the SIT. These records shall be made available by both licensees for
examination to BIS Certification Officers or Agents during surveillance visits or whenever otherwise
sought by BIS.
iv. The responsibility of conformity of the product in respect of all requirements shall lie with both the
licensees.
v. The licensee A shall emboss the Standard Mark (ISI) and its licence number on the black pipes
conforming to IS 1161 along with all other details as per the marking clause of the SIT. The pipes
shall be sent control unit wise to the licensee B. The licensee B shall employ ‘transfix labels’ for
identification on the pipes; the label shall contain IS No. over Standard Mark and under Standard
Mark, its licence number and the phrase ‘Only Galvanizing’ (See image below); after ensuring
conformity of post black pipe operations to the IS 1161.
vi. The licensee A shall issue the test certificate of the ISI marked black pipes as per IS 1161 along with
each consignment of the black pipes dispatched to licensee B. The licensee B, after carrying out
Galvanizing and testing conformity of galvanizing as per IS 4736, shall issue the final test certificate
of Galvanized pipes, incorporating the results of both the black pipes and Galvanizing, and other
details such as Batch No./Lot No., Size(s), Grade, Quantity etc. for ensuring traceability to the black
pipes.

PM/ IS 1161/ 3 Nov 2023
All such pipes, after Galvanizing, shall be dispatched by Licensee B after enclosing the final test
certificate of the Galvanized pipes.
Action by BOs
i. The post black pipe operations shall be verified by the BO during the next surveillance of the
outsourcer licensee unit and the licensee unit to whom this operation is outsourced. During the
operation of licence, all such records maintained by the licensee and the outsourced unit shall be
verified by the IOs.
ii. If the licensee and the outsourced unit are under different BOs, the BO receiving the request shall
inform the other BO accordingly and the BO under which the outsourced unit is located shall verify
the post black pipe operations during the next surveillance and shall provide the necessary information
to the BO.
