BIS-Certified Roofing Fasteners: Setting the New Standard for Quality in India

In the world of construction, every small component plays a massive role in ensuring safety, durability, and trust. While concrete and steel beams often get the spotlight, the humble screw quietly does the job of holding everything together. Yet, substandard fasteners are one of the biggest hidden risks in roofing and infrastructure projects across India.

That’s exactly why the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) has made certification for self-drilling screws mandatory under the new Quality Control Orders (QCOs). For builders, contractors, and project owners, this change is not just about compliance—it’s about protecting investments, ensuring safety, and meeting global standards of quality.

Why BIS Certification Matters?

BIS certification is not just another bureaucratic label—it is proof that a product has undergone rigorous testing and meets the highest standards of quality, strength, and durability. For screws used in roofing and cladding, this certification assures:

Resistance against corrosion and rust, even in extreme weather.
Strong pull-out and holding power to prevent leaks or structural damage.
Uniform manufacturing quality across every batch.
Compliance with government regulations, reducing the risk of penalties or project rejections.

In short, BIS certification gives peace of mind to contractors, project managers, and end users who rely on every single fastener to perform for decades.

What the New QCO Means for the Industry?

The Indian government has tightened its focus on building safety and sustainability. With the new QCO in effect, manufacturers can no longer supply self-drilling screws without BIS certification. This impacts:

Manufacturers who must upgrade facilities, testing, and processes to meet certification standards.
Distributors and traders who can only stock BIS-certified products.
Contractors and builders who must ensure their projects use certified fasteners to avoid compliance issues.
Large-scale infrastructure projects like airports, metros, and industrial plants that cannot afford risks with uncertified fasteners.

This marks a turning point for the roofing and construction industry, where only reliable, certified products will have a place in the market.

Quick Guide – How to Identify BIS-Certified Fasteners?

If you are in the market for roofing screws, here’s a simple checklist to ensure you are getting a certified product:
