ANNEXURE A
TO PRODUCT MANUAL FOR
(Wrought Aluminium and Aluminium alloy sheet and strip for General
Engineering Purposes)
According to IS 737:2008
GROUPING GUIDELINES
1) Wrought Aluminum and Aluminum Alloy Sheets and Strip as per IS 737:2008 are classified into various designations
based upon the major alloying element as per Table 1 . Further, these designations could be supplied in the conditions
(temper designations such as O, Hx2, Hx4, T4, T6 etc.) as per the desired mechanical properties as per Table 2.
2) Designations, as specified at Table 1, have been grouped into the following groups based upon the major alloying
elements and are arranged in order of least to most stringent based upon the purity/percentage of major alloying element:-
Lowest Group 1 Group 2 Group 3 Group 4 Group 5 Group 6 Group 7
Purity/Lowest
percentage of
Major alloying
element
19000 24345 31000 40800 51000A 64430 74530
19002 24530 31200 51000B 65028 74538
19500 26388 31500 51300 65032 76528
19600 31500B 52000
19700 52300
19800 52300B
Highest 19990 53000
Purity/Highest 54300
percentage of 55000
Major alloying
element
3) In view of above, the following grouping guidelines may be considered for GoL/CSoL:-
a) From each group if sample of higher purity/higher percentage of major alloying element is drawn the lower
designations may be covered for same temper designation.
b) Separate samples under each group are to be drawn for each Temper Condition intended to be included in Scope of
Licence.
c) The sample drawn above shall be of any size and separate samples for all sizes intended to be covered in the licence
are not required to be drawn.
4) However, it shall be ensured that the firm is having all the necessary manufacturing and testing facilities for the
manufacture and testing of the varieties to be included in the licence.

SCHEME OF INSPECTION AND TESTING
1. LABORATORY - A laboratory shall be maintained which shall be suitably equipped(as per
the requirement given in column 2 of Table 1) and staffed where different tests given in the
specification shall be carried out in accordance with the methods given in the specification.
1.1 The manufacturer shall prepare and implement a calibration plan for the test equipment
2. TEST RECORDS - The manufacturer shall maintain test records for the test carried
out to establish conformity.
3. STANDARD MARK - The Standard Mark as given in the Schedule of the license and
LicenceNumber (i.e. CM/L ... ) shall be incorporated, and the marking shall be done as per the
provisions of
the Indian Standard, provided always that the product thus marked conforms to all the requirement of the
specification.
4. CONTROL UNIT- All quantity of material of same thickness, designation, temper
designation and manufactured from the same raw material under uniform conditions of production in
the same production line at a time shall constitute a control unit.
5. LEVELS OF CONTROL- The tests as indicated in column 1 of Table 1 and the levels of control in
column 3 of Table 1, shall be carried out on the whole production of the factory which is covered by
this plan and appropriate records maintained in accordance with paragraph 2 above.
5.1 All the production which conforms to the Indian Standard and covered by the licence should be
marked with Standard Mark.
5. REJECTIONS : - – Disposal of non-conforming product shall be done in such a way so as to
ensure that there is no violation of provisions of BIS Act, 2016. Any rejected material which is
potentially resalable be sheared or cut or deformed in such a manner that it cannot be used for any
other purpose except re-melting. A separate record shall be maintained giving information on quantity
and cast number/coil number/control unit number, as applicable, relating to all such
rejections/defective/substandard material of the production not conforming to the requirements of the
Specification and the method of its disposal. Such material shall in no case be stored together with that
conforming to the Specification. The Standard Mark (if already applied) on rejected material should be
defaced.
6. TEST CERTIFICATE : For each consignment of BIS Certified material conforming to IS
737:2008 there shall be a test certificate which shall contain the Standard Mark, the cast/Control Unit
number and the corresponding test results (as given in Annexure-I enclosed)
