ANNEX B
1.1 The manufacturer shall prepare a calibration plan for the test equipments. The following
equipments shall be calibrated at a frequency shown against each and records kept.
2. TEST RECORDS – The manufacturer shall maintain test records in various formats,
Form 1 to Form 20 for the tests carried out to establish conformity.
b) Any other marking required under provisions of Legal Metrology Act, 2009 and
Legal Metrology (Packaged Commodities) Rules, 2011 framed thereunder.

PM/ IS 1489 (Part 1) / 1/ December 2018
3.2.2 All the information including BIS Standard Mark except Manufacturers Registered
Trade Mark shall be applied on each bag in RED COLOUR.
3.2.3 Marking of variable parameters on cement bags which are changing with production
schedule and done online (such as Date of manufacturing/Week number/Batch number,
MRP, Percentage of addition of Pozzolana) is permitted in BLACK COLOUR. However, all
such marking shall be conspicuous.
Note :
1. For each calendar year, the first week shall be counted as 7 days from 1st of January
and subsequent weeks numbered serially accordingly. The bags shall be marked as
W 0l/MM/YY…… W 51/MM/YY……. etc.
2. Label mentioned at 3.1 and 3.2 above shall be attached to the seal of the container.
The seal shall be of such a design that it shall automatically get destroyed on opening.
3. The colour of the bag and background colours should be in contrast to the colour of
the Standard Mark and the details so that the markings are conspicuous.
4. CONTROL UNIT –
4.1 For manufacturing units of Portland Pozzolana Cement: The tests, as indicated in
Table 1 attached and at the levels of control specified therein, shall be carried out on the
whole production of the factory which is covered by this scheme and appropriate records
maintained in accordance with clause 2 above.
4.2 For packing of Portland Pozzolana Cement at bulk cement terminal: The tests, as
indicated in Table 2 attached and at the levels of control specified therein, shall be carried out
on the whole packing of Portland Pozzolana Cement and appropriate records maintained in
accordance with clause 2 above.
4.2.1 For bulk packing units as per clause 4.2, all cement of one consignment received shall
constitute one batch.
4.2.2 Batch mixing may be permitted for packing units, which are extended packing terminals
of the same cement manufacturer (licensee) subject to packing units obtaining test certificates
from the manufacturer and keeping proper records. If the cement is received from different
units of the same manufacturer (different licensees) batch mixing of cement is not permitted.
The Batch integrity shall be ensured at all stages of packing and the packer shall maintain
appropriate controls and checks to ensure that there is no chance of mix up of different
batches. Adequate care shall be taken to avoid spoilage during handling, packing and
storage.
4.2.3 If bulk packing unit is instructed by BIS for suspension of licence due to the failure of
the samples, such instruction will automatically apply to the original manufacturer of the
cement, as per relevant suspension of licence guidelines. An undertaking to this effect shall
be obtained from the bulk packers and the original cement manufacturer.
4.2.4 Test Certificate of each original batch of cement shall be obtained from the supplier and
test results recorded. On the basis of tests and inspection, the decision regarding conformity
or otherwise of the consignment/batch to a given requirement shall be taken.

PM/ IS 1489 (Part 1) / 1/ December 2018
4.3 WEIGHMENT – One filled bag from each nozzle shall be taken at random twice in each
shift of operation and weight checked in case of electronic packers with recorders. In all other
cases one filled bag from each nozzle shall be checked once in two hours. The records shall
be maintained in Form 1. The bag shall be so chosen for weighment such that bags from each
nozzle are taken for weighment. The weighing and packing machines shall be adjusted as and
when necessary in such a way that net quantity of each bag shall be in accordance with the
tolerances given in Annex B and clause 10.1.1 of IS 1489 (Part 1) : 2015. Such adjustments
for each nozzle shall be recorded in Form 1 under remarks column.
4.3.1 For packing of Portland Pozzolana Cement in bulk cement terminal weighment of
hourly check of mass of drums also shall be done in addition to weighment of bags
mentioned in para 4.3 above. The records of weighments shall be maintained in Forms 12
and 14.
4.4.1 Routine analysis of various raw materials used in the manufacture of Portland
Pozzolana Cement shall be made at intervals of a month or whenever there is a change in
the source/mine area stratification whichever is earlier and appropriate records of the
analysis and of the Physical composition of the mixtures shall be maintained in Form 2.
This analysis is not applicable for Packing Units of Portland Pozzolana Cement at bulk
cement terminal.
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 clause 2
above.
5.1. PRODUCTION DATA - The licensee shall send to BIS a statement of quantity
produced, marked and exported by him and the value thereof at the end of each quarter of the
operative period as per the enclosed proforma and shall also submit these details to BIS at
the end of the operative year duly authenticated by a Chartered Accountant.
