QUALITY ASSURANCE

Quality You Can Trust. Standards You Can Verify.

Every wire and cable manufactured at Gurkirpa Industries is produced under a rigorous quality management system and tested to Bureau of Indian Standards specifications before it leaves our plant.

OUR COMMITMENT

Quality at Every Stage

Quality at Gurkirpa Industries is not an end-of-line check — it is built into every step of our manufacturing process. From raw material selection to finished goods dispatch, our team applies strict process controls, in-process inspections and final testing to ensure every product meets or exceeds the applicable Indian Standard.

Raw Material Control

Only approved grades of electrolytic copper and aluminium are accepted. Every incoming lot is inspected for chemical composition, dimensional accuracy and surface quality.

In-Process Inspection

Dimensional checks, conductor resistance measurements and insulation wall thickness verifications are carried out at each production stage — not just at the end of the line.

Final Testing

Every finished batch undergoes a full suite of routine tests as per the applicable IS standard before being approved for dispatch. No batch is released without a passing test record.

Traceability

Batch records link every finished reel back to its raw material lot, production run and test results — enabling full traceability from customer to source.

TEST PROTOCOL

Routine Tests Performed on Every Batch

The following tests are performed on every production batch as part of our routine quality assurance protocol.

Conductor Resistance TestIS 8130

Measures the DC resistance of the conductor per unit length to verify it meets the maximum resistance limit specified in IS 8130.

Insulation Resistance TestIS 694

Verifies the integrity of the PVC insulation by measuring resistance between conductor and earth under a specified DC voltage.

High Voltage Spark TestIS 694

Each metre of insulated wire is passed through a high-voltage spark tester to detect pinholes, thin spots or voids in the insulation.

Tensile Strength & ElongationIS 8130

Conductor samples are tested for tensile strength and percentage elongation at break to confirm ductility and mechanical integrity.

Flame Retardance TestIS 694

A sample of finished wire is subjected to a flame for a specified duration. The insulation must self-extinguish within the time limit specified in IS 694.

Dimensional VerificationIS 694 / IS 1554

Conductor diameter, insulation wall thickness and overall diameter are measured and verified against the dimensional requirements of the applicable standard.

Insulation Adhesion TestIS 694

Checks that the PVC insulation does not adhere excessively to the conductor, ensuring the wire can be stripped cleanly during installation.

Heat Ageing TestIS 694

Insulation samples are aged in an oven at elevated temperature and then tested for tensile strength and elongation to verify long-term thermal stability.

BIS CERTIFICATION

ISI Mark — Bureau of Indian Standards

Gurkirpa Industries holds BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards) certification under Scheme II (ISI Mark) for its wire and cable products. The ISI Mark on our products is your assurance that they have been manufactured under a certified quality system and tested to the applicable Indian Standard.

CML (Compulsory Registration) licence numbers and BIS certificate details are available on request.
