PM/ IS 7834 (Part 1 to 8) / 1/ January 2019
4. Considering the above, grouping guidelines as given below shall be followed for GoL/CSoL :
For each type of fitting, any size from each group and highest pressure class shall be tested
to cover all the sizes of that particular type of fitting in that size group for all the pressure
classes upto and including the pressure class tested.
5. The Firm shall declare the types of fittings, pressure class and sizes they intend to cover in the
Licence. The Scope of Licence may be restricted based on the Manufacturing and Testing
capabilities of the Manufacturer.
6. During the operation of the Licence, BO shall ensure that all the varieties covered in the
Licence are tested in rotation, to the extent possible.
Note:
(i) As IS 7834 (Part 1) covers General Requirements and are applicable to all other parts
i.e IS 7834 (Part 2 to Part 8) wherein specific requirements relevant to each type of fittings are
prescribed, licence may be granted as per IS 7834 (Part 1).
(ii) Various types of fittings proposed to be covered in the licence as per different parts of
IS 7834 shall be shown as varieties under the licence.
(iii)The marking on the product shall be as per the relevant part as applicable.
(iv) Minimum marking fee applicable for the licence shall be as given below:
Whenever more than one type as per different parts is covered under the licence, the highest
