Standardization or standardisation is the process of
implementing and developing technical standards
based on the consensus of different parties that
include firms, users, interest groups, standards
organizations and governments (Stakeholders).
Standardization can help to maximize
compatibility, interoperability, safety, repeatability
and quality.

Standardization in India
Organized standardization activity in Indiastarted with establishment of IndianStandards Institution (ISI) in 1947.
Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) took overwork of ISI through enactment of BIS Act(1986) by the Indian Parliament.

Objectives
Harmonious development of activities ofstandardization, marking and quality certification
To provide new thrust to standardization andquality control
To evolve a national strategy for accordingrecognition to standards and integrating themwith growth and development of industrialproduction and exports

Quality
Quality Guru Juran describes quality as fitness for
use - meaning that customers or users of a product
should be able to count on it for what they needed
it for.
Quality of conformance is the ability of a product,
service, or process to meet its design
specifications.

BIS Registration Scheme
Ministry of Communication & Information Technology, have issued“Electronics and Information Technology Goods (Requirements forCompulsory Registration) Order, 2012” notifying identifiedproducts for compulsory registration w.e.f. 03 Apr 2013.
Registration Scheme is being operated by BIS whereby amanufacturer may apply for registration of the notified productsalong with the test report(s) issued by BIS recognized laboratories.
As on date, BIS has granted 2600 registrations to manufacturerslocated throughout the world and in India for 30 notified products.
13 more products have been brought under the Registration Schemewef. Aug 17, 2017.

Fertigation
Fertigation is the injection of fertilizers, soil
amendments, and other water-soluble products into
an irrigation system. Fertigation is related to
chemigation, the injection of chemicals into an
irrigation system.
A good fertigation system must be complimented
with a good irrigation system.
Fertigation and Irrigation
TechniquesFarm Irrigation and Drainage Systems Sectional Committee, FAD 17 of
Food and Agriculture Department of BIS deals with these subjects.
Scope of FAD 17:
Methods of evaluation and adoption of quality of irrigation water,
efficiency of irrigation, water requirement of crops and guidelines for
various practices associated with soil water management as well as
various irrigation equipment and systems (excluding centrifugal and
hand pumps), soil conservation practices.
All types of farm drainage practices, design, material, drainage and
sub surface drainage systems and equipment, all types of on farm
water management practices including construction and improvement
of water distribution systems, land levelling & all equipment
&machinery dealing with command area development.
FAD 17 has formulated the following
standards on fertigation techniques:
1) IS 14483 (Part 1) : 1997 “Fertilizer and
chemical injector system - Part 1 Venturi
injector”.
2) IS 14483 (Part 2) : 2002 “Fertilizer and
Chemical Injector System - Part 2 : Water-
Driven Chemical Injector Pump”.
3) FAD 17 (02583) “Fertilizer and Chemical
Injector System Part 3 Fertilizer Tank”
(Under print)
Scope of IS 14483 (Part 1) : 1997
This standard prescribes the requirements of
Venturi Injectors used for injecting fertilizer and
chemicals in the sprinkler and drip irrigation
systems.
Venturi Injector operates on the principle that
when a pressurized operating (motive) fluid enters
the injector it is constricted towards the injection
chamber and changes into a high velocity jet
stream. The increase in velocity inside the
injection chamber results in decrease in pressure,
thereby enabling an additive liquid material to be
drawn through the suction port and entrained into
the motive stream.
Scope of IS 14483 (Part 2) : 2002 This standard specifies the construction and
operational requirements and test methods for waterdriven chemical injector pumps.
These injector pumps are intended to operate at watertemperatures of up to 50oC and with the types andconcentrations of chemicals routinely applied inirrigation.
This standard does not relate to back-flow preventiondevices (which are not an integral part of an injectorpump).
This standard does not relate to venturi-principleinjection devices to inject chemicals into an irrigationsystem.
Scope of FAD 17 (2583) Draft
Standard This standard specifies the mechanical and functional
requirements for fertilizer tanks used in irrigationsystems, test methods and the data to be supplied bythe manufacturer to permit correct installation andoperation in the field.
To specify the nominal sizes and classify differenttypes of fertilizer tanks according to the techniquesused.
To specify technical requirements for the effective andefficient use of the equipment.
To specify health and safety aspects related to the
equipment.
To specify maintenance requirements to sustain the
corrosive action of fertilizers
To specify suitable test methods for evaluating the
performance parameters of the equipment.

Procedure for obtaining BIS
Certification Marks license The Product Certification Scheme of BIS aims at
providing Third Party assurance of quality, safety
and reliability of products to the customer. Presence
of BIS certification mark, known as Standard Mark,
on a product is an assurance of conformity to the
specifications.
The details for obtaining BIS license is given on BIS
website, under the link http://www.bis.org.in/. For
